Isaiah
Chapter 44
KJV · Textus Receptus
Yet nowhear, OJacob myservant; andIsrael, whom I have chosen:
2 Thussaith theLORD thatmade thee, andformed thee from thewomb, which willhelp thee;Fear not, OJacob, myservant; and thou,Jesurun, whom I have chosen.
3 For I willpourwater upon him that isthirsty, andfloods upon the dryground: I willpour myspirit upon thyseed, and myblessing upon thine offspring:
4 And they shall springup asamong thegrass, aswillows by thewater courses.
5 One shallsay, I am theLORD'S; and another shallcall himself by thename ofJacob; and another shallsubscribe with hishand unto theLORD, andsurname himself by thename of Israel.
6 Thussaith theLORD theKing ofIsrael, and hisredeemer theLORD ofhosts; I am thefirst, and I am thelast; andbeside me there is no God.
7 And who, as I, shallcall, and shalldeclare it, and set it inorder for me, since Iappointed theancientpeople? and the things that arecoming, and shallcome, let them shew unto them.
8Fear ye not, neither beafraid: have not Itold thee from thattime, and havedeclared it? ye are even mywitnesses. Isthere aGodbeside me? yea, there is noGod; I know not any.
9 They thatmake a gravenimage are all of themvanity; and their delectablethings shall notprofit; and they are their ownwitnesses; theysee not, norknow; that they may be ashamed.
10 Who hathformed agod, ormolten a gravenimage that isprofitable for nothing?
11 Behold, all hisfellows shall beashamed: and theworkmen, they are ofmen: let them all be gatheredtogether, let them standup; yet they shallfear, and they shall beashamed together.
12 Thesmith with thetongs bothworketh in thecoals, andfashioneth it withhammers, andworketh it with thestrength of hisarms: yea, he ishungry, and hisstrengthfaileth: hedrinketh nowater, and is faint.
13 Thecarpenter stretchethout hisrule; he marketh itout with aline; hefitteth it withplanes, and he marketh itout with thecompass, andmaketh it after thefigure of aman, according to thebeauty of aman; that it mayremain in the house.
14 He heweth himdowncedars, andtaketh thecypress and theoak, which hestrengtheneth for himself among thetrees of theforest: heplanteth anash, and therain doth nourish it.
15 Then shall it be for aman toburn: for he willtake thereof, andwarm himself; yea, hekindleth it, andbakethbread; yea, hemaketh agod, andworshippeth it; hemaketh it a gravenimage, and falleth down thereto.
16 Heburnethpart thereofin thefire; withpart thereof heeatethflesh; heroastethroast, and issatisfied: yea, hewarmeth himself, andsaith,Aha, I amwarm, I haveseen the fire:
17 And theresidue thereof hemaketh agod, even his gravenimage: he fallethdown unto it, andworshippeth it, andprayeth unto it, andsaith,Deliver me; for thou art my god.
18 They have notknown norunderstood: for he hathshut theireyes, that they cannotsee; and theirhearts, that they cannot understand.
19 And noneconsidereth in hisheart, neither is thereknowledge norunderstanding tosay, I haveburnedpart of itin thefire; yea, also I havebakedbread upon thecoals thereof; I haveroastedflesh, andeaten it: and shall Imake theresidue thereof anabomination? shall I falldown to thestock of a tree?
20 Hefeedeth onashes: adeceivedheart hath turned himaside, that he cannotdeliver hissoul, norsay, Is there not alie in my right hand?
21Remember these, OJacob andIsrael; for thou art myservant: I haveformed thee; thou art myservant: OIsrael, thou shalt not be forgotten of me.
22 I have blottedout, as a thickcloud, thytransgressions, and, as acloud, thysins:return unto me; for I have redeemed thee.
23Sing, O yeheavens; for theLORD hathdone it:shout, ye lowerparts of theearth: breakforth intosinging, yemountains, Oforest, and everytree therein: for theLORD hathredeemedJacob, andglorified himself in Israel.
24 Thussaith theLORD, thyredeemer, and he thatformed thee from thewomb, I am theLORD thatmaketh all things; that stretchethforth theheavens alone; that spreadethabroad the earth by myself;
25 Thatfrustrateth thetokens of theliars, and makethdivinersmad; thatturnethwise menbackward, and maketh theirknowledge foolish;
26 Thatconfirmeth theword of hisservant, andperformeth thecounsel of hismessengers; thatsaith toJerusalem, Thou shalt beinhabited; and to thecities ofJudah, Ye shall bebuilt, and I will raiseup the decayed places thereof:
27 Thatsaith to thedeep, Bedry, and I will dryup thy rivers:
28 Thatsaith ofCyrus, He is myshepherd, and shallperform all mypleasure: evensaying toJerusalem, Thou shalt bebuilt; and to thetemple, Thy foundation shall be laid.
