1	Listen# , O isles, unto me; and hearken# , ye people, from far; The LORD hath called# me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention# of my name.
			2	And he hath made# my mouth like a sharp sword; in the shadow of his hand hath he hid# me, and made# me a polished# shaft; in his quiver hath he hid# me;
			3	And said# unto me, Thou art my servant, O Israel, in whom I will be glorified# .
			4	Then I said# , I have laboured# in vain, I have spent# my strength for nought, and in vain: yet surely my judgment is with the LORD, and my work with my God. [my work: or, my reward]
			5	And now, saith# the LORD that formed# me from the womb to be his servant, to bring# Jacob again# to him, Though Israel be not gathered# , yet shall I be glorious# in the eyes of the LORD, and my God shall be my strength. [Though...: or, That Israel may be gathered to him, and I may, etc]
			6	And he said# , It is a light thing# that thou shouldest be my servant to raise up# the tribes of Jacob, and to restore# the preserved# # # of Israel: I will also give# thee for a light to the Gentiles, that thou mayest be my salvation unto the end of the earth. [It is...: or, Art thou lighter than that thou shouldest, etc] [preserved: or, desolations]
			7	Thus saith# the LORD, the Redeemer# of Israel, and his Holy One, to him whom man despiseth, to him whom the nation abhorreth# , to a servant of rulers# , Kings shall see# and arise# , princes also shall worship# , because of the LORD that is faithful# , and the Holy One of Israel, and he shall choose# thee. [whom man...: or, that is despised in soul]
			8	Thus saith# the LORD, In an acceptable time have I heard# thee, and in a day of salvation have I helped# thee: and I will preserve# thee, and give# thee for a covenant of the people, to establish# the earth, to cause to inherit# the desolate# heritages; [establish: or, raise up]
			9	That thou mayest say# to the prisoners# , Go forth# ; to them that are in darkness, Shew# yourselves. They shall feed# in the ways, and their pastures shall be in all high places.
			10	They shall not hunger# nor thirst# ; neither shall the heat nor sun smite# them: for he that hath mercy# on them shall lead# them, even by the springs of water shall he guide# them.
			11	And I will make# all my mountains a way, and my highways shall be exalted# .
			12	Behold, these shall come# from far: and, lo, these from the north and from the west; and these from the land of Sinim.
			13	Sing# , O heavens; and be joyful# , O earth; and break forth# into singing, O mountains: for the LORD hath comforted# his people, and will have mercy# upon his afflicted.
			14	But Zion said# , The LORD hath forsaken# me, and my Lord hath forgotten# me.
			15	Can a woman forget# her sucking child, that she should not have compassion# on the son of her womb? yea, they may forget# , yet will I not forget# thee. [that...: Heb. from having compassion]
			16	Behold, I have graven# thee upon the palms of my hands; thy walls are continually before me.
			17	Thy children shall make haste# ; thy destroyers# and they that made thee waste# shall go forth# of thee.
			18	Lift up# thine eyes round about, and behold# : all these gather themselves together# , and come# to thee. As I live, saith# the LORD, thou shalt surely clothe# thee with them all, as with an ornament, and bind# them on thee , as a bride doeth .
			19	For thy waste and thy desolate places# , and the land of thy destruction, shall even now be too narrow# by reason of the inhabitants# , and they that swallowed thee up# shall be far away# .
			20	The children which thou shalt have, after thou hast lost the other, shall say# again in thine ears, The place is too strait for me: give# place to me that I may dwell# .
			21	Then shalt thou say# in thine heart, Who hath begotten# me these, seeing I have lost my children# , and am desolate, a captive# , and removing to and fro# ? and who hath brought up# these? Behold, I was left# alone; these, where had they been ?
			22	Thus saith# the Lord GOD, Behold, I will lift up# mine hand to the Gentiles, and set up# my standard to the people: and they shall bring# thy sons in their arms, and thy daughters shall be carried# upon their shoulders. [arms: Heb. bosom]
			23	And kings shall be thy nursing fathers# , and their queens thy nursing mothers# : they shall bow down# to thee with their face toward the earth, and lick up# the dust of thy feet; and thou shalt know# that I am the LORD: for they shall not be ashamed# that wait# for me. [nursing fathers: Heb. nourishers] [queens: Heb. princesses]
			24	Shall the prey be taken# from the mighty, or the lawful captive delivered# ? [lawful...: Heb. captivity of the just]
			25	But thus saith# the LORD, Even the captives of the mighty shall be taken away# , and the prey of the terrible shall be delivered# : for I will contend# with him that contendeth with thee, and I will save# thy children. [captives: Heb. captivity]
			26	And I will feed# them that oppress# thee with their own flesh; and they shall be drunken# with their own blood, as with sweet wine: and all flesh shall know# that I the LORD am thy Saviour# and thy Redeemer# , the mighty One of Jacob. [sweet: or, new]
