1	Hear# ye this, O house of Jacob, which are called# by the name of Israel, and are come forth# out of the waters of Judah, which swear# by the name of the LORD, and make mention# of the God of Israel, but not in truth, nor in righteousness.
			2	For they call# themselves of the holy city, and stay# themselves upon the God of Israel; The LORD of hosts is his name.
			3	I have declared# the former things from the beginning; and they went forth# out of my mouth, and I shewed# them; I did# them suddenly, and they came to pass# .
			4	Because I knew that thou art obstinate, and thy neck is an iron sinew, and thy brow brass; [obstinate: Heb. hard]
			5	I have even from the beginning declared# it to thee; before it came to pass# I shewed# it thee: lest thou shouldest say# , Mine idol hath done# them, and my graven image, and my molten image, hath commanded# them.
			6	Thou hast heard# , see# all this; and will not ye declare# it ? I have shewed# thee new things from this time, even hidden things# , and thou didst not know# them.
			7	They are created# now, and not from the beginning; even before the day when thou heardest# them not; lest thou shouldest say# , Behold, I knew# them.
			8	Yea, thou heardest# not; yea, thou knewest# not; yea, from that time that thine ear was not opened# : for I knew# that thou wouldest deal very# treacherously# , and wast called# a transgressor# from the womb.
			9	For my name's sake will I defer# mine anger, and for my praise will I refrain# for thee, that I cut thee not off# .
			10	Behold, I have refined# thee, but not with silver; I have chosen# thee in the furnace of affliction. [with...: or, for silver]
			11	For mine own sake, even for mine own sake, will I do# it : for how should my name be polluted# ? and I will not give# my glory unto another.
			12	Hearken# unto me, O Jacob and Israel, my called# ; I am he; I am the first, I also am the last.
			13	Mine hand also hath laid the foundation# of the earth, and my right hand hath spanned# the heavens: when I call# unto them, they stand up# together. [my...: or, the palm of my right hand hath spread out]
			14	All ye, assemble# yourselves, and hear# ; which among them hath declared# these things ? The LORD hath loved# him: he will do# his pleasure on Babylon, and his arm shall be on the Chaldeans.
			15	I, even I, have spoken# ; yea, I have called# him: I have brought# him, and he shall make his way prosperous# .
			16	Come# ye near# unto me, hear# ye this; I have not spoken# in secret from the beginning; from the time that it was, there am I: and now the Lord GOD, and his Spirit, hath sent# me.
			17	Thus saith# the LORD, thy Redeemer# , the Holy One of Israel; I am the LORD thy God which teacheth# thee to profit# , which leadeth# thee by the way that thou shouldest go# .
			18	O that thou hadst hearkened# to my commandments! then had thy peace been as a river, and thy righteousness as the waves of the sea:
			19	Thy seed also had been as the sand, and the offspring of thy bowels like the gravel thereof; his name should not have been cut off# nor destroyed# from before me.
			20	Go ye forth# of Babylon, flee# ye from the Chaldeans, with a voice of singing declare# ye, tell# this, utter# it even to the end of the earth; say# ye, The LORD hath redeemed# his servant Jacob.
			21	And they thirsted# not when he led# them through the deserts: he caused the waters to flow# out of the rock for them: he clave# the rock also, and the waters gushed out# .
			22	There is no peace, saith# the LORD, unto the wicked.
