Isaiah 48:1 Hear8085 ye this, O house1004 of Jacob,3290 which are called7121 by the name8034 of Israel,3478 and are come forth3318 out of the waters4325 of Judah,3063 which swear7650 by the name8034 of the LORD,3068 and make mention2142 of the God430 of Israel,3478 but not in truth,571 nor in righteousness.6666 cr 2 For they call7121 themselves of the holy6944 city,5892 and stay5564 themselves upon the God430 of Israel;3478 The LORD3068 of hosts6635 is his name.8034 cr 3 I have declared5046 the former things7223 from the beginning;227 and they went forth3318 out of my mouth,6310 and I shewed8085 them; I did6213 them suddenly,6597 and they came to pass.935 cr 4 Because I knew1847 that thou art obstinate,7186{Heb. hard} and thy neck6203 is an iron1270 sinew,1517 and thy brow4696 brass;5154 cr 5 I have even from the beginning227 declared5046 it to thee; before it came to pass935 I shewed8085 it thee: lest thou shouldest say,559 Mine idol6090 hath done6213 them, and my graven image,6459 and my molten image,5262 hath commanded6680 them. cr 6 Thou hast heard,8085 see2372 all this; and will not ye declare5046 it? I have shewed8085 thee new things2319 from this time,6258 even hidden things,5341 and thou didst not know3045 them. cr 7 They are created1254 now, and not from the beginning; even before6440 the day3117 when thou heardest8085 them not; lest thou shouldest say,559 Behold, I knew3045 them. cr 8 Yea, thou heardest8085 not; yea, thou knewest3045 not; yea, from that time that thine ear241 was not opened:6605 for I knew3045 that thou wouldest deal very898 treacherously,898 and wast called7121 a transgressor6586 from the womb.990 cr

Isaiah 48:9 For my name's8034 sake will I defer748 mine anger,639 and for my praise8416 will I refrain2413 for thee, that I cut thee not off.3772 cr 10 Behold, I have refined6884 thee, but not with silver;3701{Or, for silver} I have chosen977 thee in the furnace3564 of affliction.6040 cr 11 For mine own sake, even for mine own sake, will I do6213 it: for how should my name be polluted?2490 and I will not give5414 my glory3519 unto another.312 cr

Isaiah 48:12 Hearken8085 unto me, O Jacob3290 and Israel,3478 my called;7121 I am he; I am the first,7223 I also am the last.314 cr 13 Mine hand3027 also hath laid the foundation3245 of the earth,776 and my right hand3225 hath spanned2946 the heavens:8064{Or, the palm of my right hand hath spread out} when I call7121 unto them, they stand up5975 together.3162 cr 14 All ye, assemble6908 yourselves, and hear;8085 which among them hath declared5046 these things? The LORD3068 hath loved157 him: he will do6213 his pleasure2656 on Babylon,894 and his arm2220 shall be on the Chaldeans.3778 cr 15 I, even I, have spoken;1696 yea, I have called7121 him: I have brought935 him, and he shall make his way1870 prosperous.6743 cr

Isaiah 48:16 Come7126 ye near7126 unto me, hear8085 ye this; I have not spoken1696 in secret5643 from the beginning;7218 from the time6256 that it was, there am I: and now the Lord136 GOD,3069 and his Spirit,7307 hath sent7971 me. cr 17 Thus saith559 the LORD,3068 thy Redeemer,1350 the Holy One6918 of Israel;3478 I am the LORD3068 thy God430 which teacheth3925 thee to profit,3276 which leadeth1869 thee by the way1870 that thou shouldest go.3212 cr 18 O that3863 thou hadst hearkened7181 to my commandments!4687 then had thy peace7965 been as a river,5104 and thy righteousness6666 as the waves1530 of the sea:3220 cr 19 Thy seed2233 also had been as the sand,2344 and the offspring6631 of thy bowels4578 like the gravel4579 thereof; his name8034 should not have been cut off3772 nor destroyed8045 from before6440 me. cr

Isaiah 48:20 Go ye forth3318 of Babylon,894 flee1272 ye from the Chaldeans,3778 with a voice6963 of singing7440 declare5046 ye, tell8085 this, utter3318 it even to the end7097 of the earth;776 say559 ye, The LORD3068 hath redeemed1350 his servant5650 Jacob.3290 cr 21 And they thirsted6770 not when he led3212 them through the deserts:2723 he caused the waters4325 to flow5140 out of the rock6697 for them: he clave1234 the rock6697 also, and the waters4325 gushed out.2100 cr 22 There is no peace,7965 saith559 the LORD,3068 unto the wicked.7563 cr
