# Chapter 48
|
|
1. "Hear this, O house of Jacob,
|
|
Who are called by the name of Israel,
|
|
And have come forth from the wellsprings of Judah;
|
|
Who swear by the name of the Lord,
|
|
And make mention of the God of Israel,
|
|
But not in truth or in righteousness;
|
|
|
|
2. For they call themselves after the holy city,
|
|
And lean on the God of Israel;
|
|
The Lord of hosts is His name:
|
|
|
|
3. "I have declared the former things from the beginning;
|
|
They went forth from My mouth, and I caused them to hear it.
|
|
Suddenly I did them, and they came to pass.
|
|
|
|
4. Because I knew that you were obstinate,
|
|
And your neck was an iron sinew,
|
|
And your brow bronze,
|
|
|
|
5. Even from the beginning I have declared it to you;
|
|
Before it came to pass I proclaimed it to you,
|
|
Lest you should say, 'My idol has done them,
|
|
And my carved image and my molded image
|
|
Have commanded them.'
|
|
|
|
6. "You have heard;
|
|
See all this.
|
|
And will you not declare it?
|
|
I have made you hear new things from this time,
|
|
Even hidden things, and you did not know them.
|
|
|
|
7. They are created now and not from the beginning;
|
|
And before this day you have not heard them,
|
|
Lest you should say, 'Of course I knew them.'
|
|
|
|
8. Surely you did not hear,
|
|
Surely you did not know;
|
|
Surely from long ago your ear was not opened.
|
|
For I knew that you would deal very treacherously,
|
|
And were called a transgressor from the womb.
|
|
|
|
9. "For My name's sake I will defer My anger,
|
|
And for My praise I will restrain it from you,
|
|
So that I do not cut you off.
|
|
|
|
10. Behold, I have refined you, but not as silver;
|
|
I have tested you in the furnace of affliction.
|
|
|
|
11. For My own sake, for My own sake, I will do it;
|
|
For how should My name be profaned?
|
|
And I will not give My glory to another.God's Ancient Plan to Redeem Israel
|
|
|
|
12. "Listen to Me, O Jacob,
|
|
And Israel, My called:
|
|
I am He, I am the First,
|
|
I am also the Last.
|
|
|
|
13. Indeed My hand has laid the foundation of the earth,
|
|
And My right hand has stretched out the heavens;
|
|
When I call to them,
|
|
They stand up together.
|
|
|
|
14. "All of you, assemble yourselves, and hear!
|
|
Who among them has declared these things?
|
|
The Lord loves him;
|
|
He shall do His pleasure on Babylon,
|
|
And His arm shall be against the Chaldeans.
|
|
|
|
15. I, even I, have spoken;
|
|
Yes, I have called him,
|
|
I have brought him, and his way will prosper.
|
|
|
|
16. "Come near to Me, hear this:
|
|
I have not spoken in secret from the beginning;
|
|
From the time that it was, I was there.
|
|
And now the Lord God and His Spirit
|
|
Have sent Me."
|
|
|
|
17. Thus says the Lord, your Redeemer,
|
|
The Holy One of Israel:
|
|
"I am the Lord your God,
|
|
Who teaches you to profit,
|
|
Who leads you by the way you should go.
|
|
|
|
18. Oh, that you had heeded My commandments!
|
|
Then your peace would have been like a river,
|
|
And your righteousness like the waves of the sea.
|
|
|
|
19. Your descendants also would have been like the sand,
|
|
And the offspring of your body like the grains of sand;
|
|
His name would not have been cut off
|
|
Nor destroyed from before Me."
|
|
|
|
20. Go forth from Babylon!
|
|
Flee from the Chaldeans!
|
|
With a voice of singing,
|
|
Declare, proclaim this,
|
|
Utter it to the end of the earth;
|
|
Say, "The Lord has redeemed
|
|
His servant Jacob!"
|
|
|
|
21. And they did not thirst
|
|
When He led them through the deserts;
|
|
He caused the waters to flow from the rock for them;
|
|
He also split the rock, and the waters gushed out.
|
|
|
|
22. "There is no peace," says the Lord, "for the wicked."
