Isaiah, Chapter 49

Listen to Me, O islands,
And pay attention, you peoples from afar.
The LORD called Me from the womb;
From thea Lit inward partsbody of My mother He named Me.
He has made My mouth like a sharp sword,
In the shadow of His hand He has concealed Me;
And He has also made Me ab Or sharpenedselect arrow,
He has hidden Me in His quiver.
He said to Me, “You are My Servant, Israel,
In Whom I willc Or glorify Myselfshow My glory.”
But I said, “I have toiled in vain,
I have spent My strength for nothing and vanity;
Yet surely the justice due to Me is with the LORD,
And My reward with My God.”
And now says the LORD, who formed Me from the womb to be His Servant,
To bring Jacob back to Him, so that Israel might be gathered to Him
(For I am honored in the sight of the LORD,
And My God is My strength),
He says, “It is tood Lit lightsmall a thing that You should be My Servant
To raise up the tribes of Jacob and to restore the preserved ones of Israel;
I will also make You a lighte Or toof the nations
So that My salvation mayf Lit bereach to the end of the earth.”
Thus says the LORD, the Redeemer of Israel and its Holy One,
To the despised One,
To the One abhorred by the nation,
To the Servant of rulers,
“Kings will see and arise,
Princes will also bow down,
Because of the LORD who is faithful, the Holy One of Israel who has chosen You.”
Thus says the LORD,
“In a favorable time I have answered You,
And in a day of salvation I have helped You;
And I will keep You and give You for a covenant of the people,
Tog Lit establishrestore the land, to make them inherit the desolate heritages;
Saying to those who are bound, ‘Go forth,’
To those who are in darkness, ‘Show yourselves.’
Along the roads they will feed,
And their pasture will be on all bare heights.
10 
“They will not hunger or thirst,
Nor will the scorching heat or sun strike them down;
For He who has compassion on them will lead them
And will guide them to springs of water.
11 
“I will make all My mountains a road,
And My highways will be raised up.
12 
“Behold, these will come from afar;
And lo, these will come from the north and from the west,
And these from the land of Sinim.”
13 
Shout for joy, O heavens! And rejoice, O earth!
Break forth into joyful shouting, O mountains!
For the LORD has comforted His people
And will have compassion on His afflicted.
14 
But Zion said, “The LORD has forsaken me,
And the Lord has forgotten me.”
15 
“Can a woman forget her nursing child
And have no compassion on the son of her womb?
Even these may forget, but I will not forget you.
16 
“Behold, I have inscribed you on the palms of My hands;
Your walls are continually before Me.
17 
“Yourh So ancient versions and DSS; M.T. reads sonsbuilders hurry;
Your destroyers and devastators
Will depart from you.
18 
“Lift up your eyes and look around;
All of them gather together, they come to you.
As I live,” declares the LORD,
“You will surely put on all of them asi Lit an ornamentjewels and bind them on as a bride.
19 
“For your waste and desolate places and your destroyed land—
Surely now you will be too cramped for the inhabitants,
And those who swallowed you will be far away.
20 
“The children ofj Lit your bereavementwhom you were bereaved will yet say in your ears,
‘The place is too cramped for me;
Make room for me that I may live here.’
21 
“Then you will say in your heart,
‘Who has begotten these for me,
Since I have been bereaved of my children
And am barren, an exile and a wanderer?
And who has reared these?
Behold, I was left alone;
k Lit These, where are they?From where did these come?’”
22 Thus says the Lordl Heb YHWH, usually rendered LordGOD,“Behold, I will lift up My hand to the nations
And set up My standard to the peoples;
And they will bring your sons in their bosom,
And your daughters will be carried on their shoulders.
23“Kings will be your guardians,
And their princesses your nurses.
They will bow down to you with their faces to the earth
And lick the dust of your feet;
And you will know that I am the LORD;
Those who hopefully wait for Me will not be put to shame.
24 
“Can the prey be taken from the mighty man,
Or the captives ofm So ancient versions and DSS; M.T. reads the righteous, cf v 25a tyrant be rescued?”
25 Surely, thus says the LORD,“Even the captives of the mighty man will be taken away,
And the prey of the tyrant will be rescued;
For I will contend with the one who contends with you,
And I will save your sons.
26“I will feed your oppressors with their own flesh,
And they will become drunk with their own blood as with sweet wine;
And all flesh will know that I, the LORD, am your Savior
And your Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob.”

Isaiah, Chapter 50

1 Thus says the LORD,“Where is the certificate of divorce
By which I have sent your mother away?
Or to whom of My creditors did I sell you?
Behold, you were sold for your iniquities,
And for your transgressions your mother was sent away.
2“Why was there no man when I came?
When I called, why was there none to answer?
Is My hand so short that it cannot ransom?
Or have I no power to deliver?
Behold, I dry up the sea with My rebuke,
I make the rivers a wilderness;
Their fish stink for lack of water
And die of thirst.
3“I clothe the heavens with blackness
And make sackcloth their covering.”
The Lorda Heb YHWH, usually rendered Lord, and so throughout the chGOD has given Me the tongue of disciples,
That I may know how to sustain the weary one with a word.
He awakens Me morning by morning,
He awakens My ear to listen as a disciple.
The Lord GOD has opened My ear;
And I was not disobedient
Nor did I turn back.
I gave My back to those who strike Me,
And My cheeks to those who pluck out the beard;
I did not cover My face from humiliation and spitting.
For the Lord GOD helps Me,
Therefore, I am not disgraced;
Therefore, I have set My face like flint,
And I know that I will not be ashamed.
He who vindicates Me is near;
Who will contend with Me?
Let us stand up to each other;
Who has a case against Me?
Let him draw near to Me.
Behold, the Lord GOD helps Me;
Who is he who condemns Me?
Behold, they will all wear out like a garment;
The moth will eat them.
10 
Who is among you that fears the LORD,
That obeys the voice of His servant,
That walks in darkness and has no light?
Let him trust in the name of the LORD and rely on his God.
11 
Behold, all you who kindle a fire,
Whob Lit girdencircle yourselves with firebrands,
Walk in the light of your fire
And among the brands you have set ablaze.
This you will have from My hand:
You will lie down in torment.

Isaiah, Chapter 51

“Listen to me, you who pursue righteousness,
Who seek the LORD:
Look to the rock from which you were hewn
And to thea Lit excavation of a pitquarry from which you were dug.
“Look to Abraham your father
And to Sarah who gave birth to you in pain;
When he was but one I called him,
Then I blessed him and multiplied him.”
Indeed, the LORD will comfort Zion;
He will comfort all her waste places.
And her wilderness He will make like Eden,
And her desert like the garden of the LORD;
Joy and gladness will be found in her,
Thanksgiving and sound of a melody.
“Pay attention to Me, O My people,
And give ear to Me, O Myb Or peoplenation;
For a law will go forth from Me,
And I willc Lit cause to restset My justice for a light of the peoples.
“My righteousness is near, My salvation has gone forth,
And My arms will judge the peoples;
The coastlands will wait for Me,
And for My arm they will wait expectantly.
“Lift up your eyes to the sky,
Then look to the earth beneath;
For the sky will vanish like smoke,
And the earth will wear out like a garment
And its inhabitants will died Or like gnatsin like manner;
But My salvation will be forever,
And My righteousness will note Lit be brokenwane.
“Listen to Me, you who know righteousness,
A people in whose heart is My law;
Do not fear the reproach of man,
Nor be dismayed at their revilings.
“For the moth will eat them like a garment,
And the grub will eat them like wool.
But My righteousness will be forever,
And My salvation to all generations.”
Awake, awake, put on strength, O arm of the LORD;
Awake as in the days of old, the generations of long ago.
Was it not You who cut Rahab in pieces,
Who pierced the dragon?
10 
Was it not You who dried up the sea,
The waters of the great deep;
Who made the depths of the sea a pathway
For the redeemed to cross over?
11 
So the ransomed of the LORD will return
And come with joyful shouting to Zion,
And everlasting joy will be on their heads.
They will obtain gladness and joy,
And sorrow and sighing will flee away.
12 
“I, even I, am He who comforts you.
Who are you that you are afraid of man who dies
And of the son of man who is made like grass,
13 
That you have forgotten the LORD your Maker,
Who stretched out the heavens
And laid the foundations of the earth,
That you fear continually all day long because of the fury of the oppressor,
As he makes ready to destroy?
But where is the fury of the oppressor?
14 Thef Lit one in chainsexile will soon be set free, and will not die in the dungeon, nor will his bread be lacking. 15 For I am the LORD your God, who stirs up the sea and its waves roar (the LORD of hosts is His name). 16 I have put My words in your mouth and have covered you with the shadow of My hand, tog Lit plantestablish the heavens, to found the earth, and to say to Zion, ‘You are My people.’”
17 
Rouse yourself! Rouse yourself! Arise, O Jerusalem,
You who have drunk from the LORD’S hand the cup of His anger;
Theh Lit bowl of the cup of reelingchalice of reeling you havei Lit drunkdrained to the dregs.
18 
There is none to guide her among all the sons she has borne,
Nor is there one to take her by the hand among all the sons she has reared.
19 
These two things have befallen you;
Who will mourn for you?
The devastation and destruction, famine and sword;
How shall I comfort you?
20 
Your sons have fainted,
They lie helpless at the head of every street,
Like an antelope in a net,
Full of the wrath of the LORD,
The rebuke of your God.
21 
Therefore, please hear this, you afflicted,
Who are drunk, but not with wine:
22 
Thus says your Lord, the LORD, even your God
Who contends for His people,
“Behold, I have taken out of your hand the cup of reeling,
Thej Lit bowl of the cup ofchalice of My anger;
You will never drink it again.
23 
“I will put it into the hand of your tormentors,
Who have said tok Lit your soulyou, ‘Lie down that we may walk over you.’
You have even made your back like the ground
And like the street for those who walk over it.”

Isaiah, Chapter 52

Awake, awake,
Clothe yourself in your strength, O Zion;
Clothe yourself in your beautiful garments,
O Jerusalem, the holy city;
For the uncircumcised and the unclean
Will no longer come into you.
Shake yourself from the dust, rise up,
O captive Jerusalem;
Loose yourself from the chains around your neck,
O captive daughter of Zion.
3 For thus says the LORD, “You were sold for nothing and you will be redeemed without money.” 4 For thus says the Lorda Heb YHWH, usually rendered LordGOD, “My people went down at the first into Egypt to reside there; then the Assyrian oppressed them without cause. 5 Now therefore, what do I have here,” declares the LORD, “seeing that My people have been taken away without cause?” Again the LORD declares, “Those who rule over them howl, and My name is continually blasphemed all day long. 6 Therefore My people shall know My name; therefore in that day I am the one who is speaking, ‘Here I am.’”
How lovely on the mountains
Are the feet of him who brings good news,
Who announcesb Or well-beingpeace
And brings good news ofc Lit goodhappiness,
Who announces salvation,
And says to Zion, “Your Godd Or is Kingreigns!”
Listen! Your watchmen lift up their voices,
They shout joyfully together;
For they will seee Lit eye to eyewith their own eyes
When the LORD restores Zion.
Break forth, shout joyfully together,
You waste places of Jerusalem;
For the LORD has comforted His people,
He has redeemed Jerusalem.
10 
The LORD has bared His holy arm
In the sight of all the nations,
f Lit And...earth will seeThat all the ends of the earth may see
The salvation of our God.
11 
Depart, depart, go out from there,
Touch nothing unclean;
Go out of the midst of her, purify yourselves,
You who carry the vessels of the LORD.
12 
But you will not go out in haste,
Nor will you gog Lit in flightas fugitives;
For the LORD will go before you,
And the God of Israel will be your rear guard.
13 
Behold, My servant will prosper,
He will be high and lifted up andh Or very highgreatly exalted.
14 
Just as many were astonished at you, My people,
So His appearance was marred more than any man
And His form more than the sons of men.
15 
Thus He will sprinkle many nations,
Kings will shut their mouths on account of Him;
For what had not been told them they will see,
And what they had not heard they will understand.

Isaiah, Chapter 53

Who has believed our message?
And to whom has the arm of the LORD been revealed?
For He grew up before Him like a tendera Lit sucklingshoot,
And like a root out of parched ground;
He has no stately form or majesty
That we should look upon Him,
Nor appearance that we shouldb Lit desirebe attracted to Him.
He was despised and forsaken of men,
A man ofc Or painssorrows and acquainted withd Or sicknessgrief;
And like one from whom men hide their face
He was despised, and we did not esteem Him.
Surely oure Or sicknessgriefs He Himself bore,
And ourf Or painssorrows He carried;
Yet we ourselves esteemed Him stricken,
g Or Struck down bySmitten of God, and afflicted.
But He wash Or woundedpierced through for our transgressions,
He was crushed for our iniquities;
The chastening for ouri Or peacewell-being fell upon Him,
And by His scourging we are healed.
All of us like sheep have gone astray,
Each of us has turned to his own way;
But the LORD has caused the iniquity of us all
Toj Lit encounter Himfall on Him.
He was oppressed and He was afflicted,
Yet He did not open His mouth;
Like a lamb that is led to slaughter,
And like a sheep that is silent before its shearers,
So He did not open His mouth.
By oppression and judgment He was taken away;
And as for His generation, who considered
That He was cut off out of the land of thek Or lifeliving
For the transgression of my people, to whom the stroke was due?
His grave was assigned with wicked men,
Yet He was with a rich man in His death,
Because He had done no violence,
Nor was there any deceit in His mouth.
10 
But the LORD was pleased
To crush Him,l Lit He made Him sickputting Him to grief;
Ifm Lit His soulHe would render Himself as a guilt offering,
He will see Hisn Lit seedoffspring,
He will prolong His days,
And theo Or will ofgood pleasure of the LORD will prosper in His hand.
11 
As a result of thep Or toilsome laboranguish of His soul,
He will seeq Another reading is lightit and be satisfied;
By His knowledge the Righteous One,
My Servant, will justify the many,
As He will bear their iniquities.
12 
Therefore, I will allot Him a portion with the great,
And He will divide the booty with the strong;
Because He poured outr Lit His soulHimself to death,
And was numbered with the transgressors;
Yet He Himself bore the sin of many,
And interceded for the transgressors.

Isaiah, Chapter 54

“Shout for joy, O barren one, you who have borne no child;
Break forth into joyful shouting and cry aloud, you who have not travailed;
For the sons of the desolate one will be more numerous
Than the sons of the married woman,” says the LORD.
“Enlarge the place of your tent;
a Lit Let them stretch outStretch out the curtains of your dwellings, spare not;
Lengthen your cords
And strengthen your pegs.
“For you will spread abroad to the right and to the left.
And yourb Lit seeddescendants will possess nations
And will resettle the desolate cities.
“Fear not, for you will not be put to shame;
And do not feel humiliated, for you will not be disgraced;
But you will forget the shame of your youth,
And the reproach of your widowhood you will remember no more.
“For your husband is your Maker,
Whose name is the LORD of hosts;
And your Redeemer is the Holy One of Israel,
Who is called the God of all the earth.
“For the LORD has called you,
Like a wife forsaken and grieved in spirit,
Even like a wife of one’s youth when she is rejected,”
Says your God.
c Lit InFor a brief moment I forsook you,
But with great compassion I will gather you.
“In and Lit overflowingoutburst of anger
I hid My face from you for a moment,
But with everlasting lovingkindness I will have compassion on you,”
Says the LORD your Redeemer.
“Fore Some mss read the waters of Noah this is to Methis is like the days of Noah to Me,
When I swore that the waters of Noah
Would notf Lit cross overflood the earth again;
So I have sworn that I will not be angry with you
Nor will I rebuke you.
10 
“For the mountains may be removed and the hills may shake,
But My lovingkindness will not be removed from you,
And My covenant of peace will not be shaken,”
Says the LORD who has compassion on you.
11 
“O afflicted one, storm-tossed, and not comforted,
Behold, I will set your stones in antimony,
And your foundations I will lay ing Or lapis lazulisapphires.

And your gates ofi Or carbunclescrystal,
And your entirej Lit border, boundarywall of precious stones.
13 
“All your sons will bek Or disciplestaught of the LORD;
And the well-being of your sons will be great.
14 
“In righteousness you will be established;
You will be far from oppression, for you will not fear;
And from terror, for it will not come near you.
15 
“If anyone fiercely assails you it will not be from Me.
Whoever assails you will fall because of you.
16 
“Behold, I Myself have created the smith who blows the fire of coals
And brings out a weapon for its work;
And I have created the destroyer to ruin.
17 
“No weapon that is formed against you will prosper;
And every tongue thatl Lit rises againstaccuses you in judgment you will condemn.
This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD,
And their vindication is from Me,” declares the LORD.

Isaiah, Chapter 55

“Ho! Every one who thirsts, come to the waters;
And you who have noa Lit silvermoney come, buy and eat.
Come, buy wine and milk
Without money and without cost.
“Why do youb Lit weigh out silverspend money for what is not bread,
And your wages for what does not satisfy?
Listen carefully to Me, and eat what is good,
And delight yourself in abundance.
“Incline your ear and come to Me.
Listen, thatc Lit your soulyou may live;
And I will make an everlasting covenant with you,
According to the faithful merciesd Lit of Davidshown to David.
“Behold, I have made him a witness to the peoples,
A leader and commander for the peoples.
“Behold, you will call a nation you do not know,
And a nation which knows you not will run to you,
Because of the LORD your God, even the Holy One of Israel;
For He has glorified you.”
Seek the LORD while He may be found;
Call upon Him while He is near.
Let the wicked forsake his way
And the unrighteous man his thoughts;
And let him return to the LORD,
And He will have compassion on him,
And to our God,
For He will abundantly pardon.
“For My thoughts are not your thoughts,
Nor are your ways My ways,” declares the LORD.
“For as the heavens are higher than the earth,
So are My ways higher than your ways
And My thoughts than your thoughts.
10 
“For as the rain and the snow come down from heaven,
And do not return there without watering the earth
And making it bear and sprout,
And furnishing seed to the sower and bread to the eater;
11 
So will My word be which goes forth from My mouth;
It will not return to Me empty,
Without accomplishing what I desire,
And without succeeding in the matter for which I sent it.
12 
“For you will go out with joy
And be led forth with peace;
The mountains and the hills will break forth into shouts of joy before you,
And all the trees of the field will clap their hands.
13 
“Instead of the thorn bush the cypress will come up,
And instead of the nettle the myrtle will come up,
Ande I.e. the transformation of the desertit will be af Lit namememorial to the LORD,
For an everlasting sign which will not be cut off.”

Isaiah, Chapter 56

Thus says the LORD,
“Preserve justice and do righteousness,
For My salvation is about to come
And My righteousness to be revealed.
“How blessed is the man who does this,
And the son of man who takes hold of it;
Who keeps from profaning the sabbath,
And keeps his hand from doing any evil.”
Let not the foreigner who has joined himself to the LORD say,
“The LORD will surely separate me from His people.”
Nor let the eunuch say, “Behold, I am a dry tree.”
4 For thus says the LORD,“To the eunuchs who keep My sabbaths,
And choose what pleases Me,
And hold fast My covenant,
5To them I will give in My house and within My walls a memorial,
And a name better than that of sons and daughters;
I will givea So DSS; M.T. reads himthem an everlasting name which will not be cut off.
“Also the foreigners who join themselves to the LORD,
To minister to Him, and to love the name of the LORD,
To be His servants, every one who keeps from profaning the sabbath
And holds fast My covenant;
Even those I will bring to My holy mountain
And make them joyful in My house of prayer.
Their burnt offerings and their sacrifices will be acceptable on My altar;
For My house will be called a house of prayer for all the peoples.”
The Lordb Heb YHWH, usually rendered LordGOD, who gathers the dispersed of Israel, declares,
“Yet others I will gather toc Lit himthem, to those already gathered.”
All you beasts of the field,
All you beasts in the forest,

“Come,” they say, “letg So DSS and many versions; M.T. meus get wine, and let us drink heavily of strong drink;
And tomorrow will be like today, only more so.”

Isaiah, Chapter 57

The righteous man perishes, and no man takes it to heart;
And devout men are taken away, while no one understands.
For the righteous man is taken away from evil,
He enters into peace;
They rest in theira I.e. gravesbeds,
Each one who walked in his upright way.
“But come here, you sons of a sorceress,
Offspring of an adulterer andb So ancient versions; Heb she prostitutes herselfa prostitute.
“Against whom do you jest?
Against whom do you open wide your mouth
And stick out your tongue?
Are you not children of rebellion,
Offspring of deceit,
Who inflame yourselves among thec Or terebinthsoaks,
Under every luxuriant tree,
Who slaughter the children in thed Or wadisravines,
Under the clefts of the crags?
“Among thee I.e. symbols of fertility godssmooth stones of thef Or wadiravine
Is your portion,g Lit they, theythey are your lot;
Even to them you have poured out a drink offering,
You have made a grain offering.
Shall Ih Or repentrelent concerning these things?
“Upon a high and lofty mountain
You have made your bed.
You also went up there to offer sacrifice.
“Behind the door and the doorpost
You have set up your sign;
Indeed, far removed from Me, you have uncovered yourself,
And have gone up and made your bed wide.
And you have made an agreement for yourself with them,

You have looked on theirj Lit handmanhood.
“You have journeyed to the king with oil
And increased your perfumes;
You have sent your envoys a great distance

“You were tired out by the length of your road,
Yet you did not say, ‘It is hopeless.’

Therefore you did notm Or become sickfaint.
11 
“Of whom were you worried and fearful
When you lied, and did not remember Me
n Lit You did not set it upon your heartNor give Me a thought?
Was I not silent even for a long time
So you do not fear Me?
12 
“I will declare your righteousness and your deeds,
But they will not profit you.
13 
“When you cry out, let your collection of idols deliver you.
But the wind will carry all of them up,
And a breath will take them away.
But he who takes refuge in Me will inherit the land
And will possess My holy mountain.”
14 
And it will be said,
“Build up, build up, prepare the way,
Remove every obstacle out of the way of My people.”
15 
For thus says the high and exalted One
Whoo Or dwells in eternitylives forever, whose name is Holy,
“I dwell on a high and holy place,
And also with the contrite and lowly of spirit
In order to revive the spirit of the lowly
And to revive the heart of the contrite.
16 
“For I will not contend forever,
Nor will I always be angry;
For the spirit would grow faint before Me,
And the breath of those whom I have made.
17 
“Because of the iniquity of his unjust gain I was angry and struck him;
I hid My face and was angry,
And he went on turning away, in the way of his heart.
18 
“I have seen his ways, but I will heal him;
I will lead him and restore comfort to him and to his mourners,
19 
Creating thep Lit fruit of the lipspraise of the lips.
Peace, peace to him who is far and to him who is near,”
Says the LORD, “and I will heal him.”
20 
But the wicked are like the tossing sea,
For it cannot be quiet,
And its waters toss up refuse and mud.
21 
“There is no peace,” says my God, “for the wicked.”
