◄ ISA 48 ► ║ ©

48 “Hear this, house of Jacob,

who are called by the name Israel,

and have come from the sperm of Judah;

who swear by the name of Yahweh and profess the God of Israel,

but not sincerely and not righteously.

2 For from the holy city they have been called,

and in the God of Israel they have leaned.

Yahweh of hosts is his name.

3 The first things of old I have declared;

and from my mouth they came out, and I made them known;

instantly I did them, and they came to pass.

4 Because I knew that you were hard

and your neck muscles iron

and your forehead bronze,

5 so I declared to you beforehand;

before they happened I informed you

lest you say, ‘My idol has done them,’

or ‘My carved figure and my cast figure have ordained them.’

6 You have heard! Look at its whole;

and you, will you not declare?

“I announced to you new things from now,

and hidden things that you did not know.

7 Now they were created, and not of old

and before the face of today, and you have not heard,

lest you should say, ‘Behold, I knew!’

8 You have not even heard, you did not even know;

from ancient days your ear was not even open,

For I knew you have been very deceitful,

and you were called a rebel from the womb.

9 For the sake of my name I shall lengthen my nose

and for my praise I shall hold back for you,

to not cut you off.

10 Behold, I refined you, but not as silver;

I have purified you in the furnace of affliction.

11 For my sake, for my sake I shall act;

for how could I be profaned?

And my glory I shall not give to another.

12 “Listen to me, Jacob,

and Israel, whom I called:

I am he, the first,

I also am the last.

13 Yes, my hand founded the earth,

and my right hand spread out the heavens;

I call to them;

they stand up together.”

14 Assemble, all of you, and listen!

Who among them has announced these things?

Yahweh loves him, he will accomplish his desire

against Babylon and his arm against the Chaldeans.

15 “I, I have spoken, yes, I have summoned him,

I have brought him, and his way will succeed.”

16 Draw near to me, hear this:

“From the beginning I have not spoken in secret;

from the time of its happening, there I am.”

And now the Lord Yahweh

has sent me and his Spirit.

17 Thus says Yahweh, your Redeemer,

the Holy One of Israel,

“I am Yahweh your God,

who teaches you to succeed,

leads you by the way you should go.

18 If only you had listened closely to my commandments!

Then your peace would have been like a river,

and your salvation like the waves of the sea.

19 And your seed would have been as the sand,

and the offspring of your womb as its grains;

their name would not have been cut off

and would not have been blotted out from before my face.”

20 Go out from Babylon!

Flee from the Chaldeans!

With the sound of glad song announce it!

Make this known,

bring it to the end of the earth!

Say, “Yahweh has redeemed his servant Jacob.”

21 And they did not thirst when he led them through the desolate places;

he made the water flow out of the rock for them;

and he split open the rock, and the waters gushed out.

22 “There is no peace for the wicked,”—says Yahweh.
