Isaiah 44:6-23

Thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>
the King
<04428>
of Israel
<03478>_,
and his redeemer
<01350> (8802)
the LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>_;
I [am] the first
<07223>_,
and I [am] the last
<0314>_;
and beside
<01107>
me [there is] no God
<0430>_.
And who, as I, shall call
<07121> (8799)_,
and shall declare
<05046> (8686)
it, and set it in order
<06186> (8799)
for me, since I appointed
<07760> (8800)
the ancient
<05769>
people
<05971>_?
and the things that are coming
<0857> (8802)_,
and shall come
<0935> (8799)_,
let them shew
<05046> (8686)
unto them.
Fear
<06342> (8799)
ye not, neither be afraid
<07297> (8799) (8676) <07297> (8804)_:
have not I told
<08085> (8689)
thee from that time
<0227>_,
and have declared
<05046> (8689)
[it]? ye [are] even my witnesses
<05707>_.
Is there
<03426>
a God
<0433>
beside
<01107>
me? yea, [there is] no God
<06697>_;
I know
<03045> (8804)
not [any]. {God; I: Heb. rock, etc}
They that make
<03335> (8802)
a graven image
<06459>
[are] all of them vanity
<08414>_;
and their delectable things
<02530> (8803)
shall not profit
<03276> (8686)_;
and they [are] their own witnesses
<05707>_;
they see
<07200> (8799)
not, nor know
<03045> (8799)_;
that they may be ashamed
<0954> (8799)_.
{delectable: Heb. desirable}
Who hath formed
<03335> (8804)
a god
<0410>_,
or molten
<05258> (8804)
a graven image
<06459>
[that] is profitable
<03276> (8687)
for nothing
<01115>_?
Behold, all his fellows
<02270>
shall be ashamed
<0954> (8799)_:
and the workmen
<02796>_,
they [are] of men
<0120>_:
let them all be gathered together
<06908> (8691)_,
let them stand up
<05975> (8799)_;
[yet] they shall fear
<06342> (8799)_,
[and] they shall be ashamed
<0954> (8799)
together
<03162>_.
The smith
<01270> <02796>
with the tongs
<04621>
both worketh
<06466> (8804)
in the coals
<06352>_,
and fashioneth
<03335> (8799)
it with hammers
<04717>_,
and worketh
<06466> (8799)
it with the strength
<03581>
of his arms
<02220>_:
yea, he is hungry
<07457>_,
and his strength
<03581>
faileth
<0369>_:
he drinketh
<08354> (8804)
no water
<04325>_,
and is faint
<03286> (8799)_.
{with the tongs: or, with an axe}
The carpenter
<02796> <06086>
stretcheth out
<05186> (8804)
[his] rule
<06957>_;
he marketh it out
<08388> (8762)
with a line
<08279>_;
he fitteth
<06213> (8799)
it with planes
<04741>_,
and he marketh it out
<08388> (8762)
with the compass
<04230>_,
and maketh
<06213> (8799)
it after the figure
<08403>
of a man
<0376>_,
according to the beauty
<08597>
of a man
<0120>_;
that it may remain
<03427> (8800)
in the house
<01004>_.
He heweth him down
<03772> (8800)
cedars
<0730>_,
and taketh
<03947> (8799)
the cypress
<08645>
and the oak
<0437>_,
which he strengtheneth
<0553> (8762)
for himself among the trees
<06086>
of the forest
<03293>_:
he planteth
<05193> (8804)
an ash
<0766>_,
and the rain
<01653>
doth nourish
<01431> (8762)
[it]. {strengtheneth: or, taketh courage}
Then shall it be for a man
<0120>
to burn
<01197> (8763)_:
for he will take
<03947> (8799)
thereof, and warm
<02552> (8799)
himself; yea, he kindleth
<05400> (8686)
[it], and baketh
<0644> (8804)
bread
<03899>_;
yea, he maketh
<06466> (8799)
a god
<0410>_,
and worshippeth
<07812> (8691)
[it]; he maketh
<06213> (8804)
it a graven image
<06459>_,
and falleth down
<05456> (8799)
thereto.
He burneth
<08313> (8804)
part
<02677>
thereof in
<01119>
the fire
<0784>_;
with part
<02677>
thereof he eateth
<0398> (8799)
flesh
<01320>_;
he roasteth
<06740> (8799)
roast
<06748>_,
and is satisfied
<07646> (8799)_:
yea, he warmeth
<02552> (8799)
[himself], and saith
<0559> (8799)_,
Aha
<01889>_,
I am warm
<02552> (8804)_,
I have seen
<07200> (8804)
the fire
<0217>_:
And the residue
<07611>
thereof he maketh
<06213> (8804)
a god
<0410>_,
[even] his graven image
<06459>_:
he falleth down
<05456> (8799)
unto it, and worshippeth
<07812> (8691)
[it], and prayeth
<06419> (8691)
unto it, and saith
<0559> (8799)_,
Deliver
<05337> (8685)
me; for thou [art] my god
<0410>_.
They have not known
<03045> (8804)
nor understood
<0995> (8799)_:
for he hath shut
<02902> (8804)
their eyes
<05869>_,
that they cannot see
<07200> (8800)_;
[and] their hearts
<03826>_,
that they cannot understand
<07919> (8687)_.
{shut: Heb. daubed}
And none considereth
<07725> (8686)
in his heart
<03820>_,
neither [is there] knowledge
<01847>
nor understanding
<08394>
to say
<0559> (8800)_,
I have burned
<08313> (8804)
part
<02677>
of it in
<01119>
the fire
<0784>_;
yea, also I have baked
<0644> (8804)
bread
<03899>
upon the coals
<01513>
thereof; I have roasted
<06740> (8799)
flesh
<01320>_,
and eaten
<0398> (8799)
[it]: and shall I make
<06213> (8799)
the residue
<03499>
thereof an abomination
<08441>_?
shall I fall down
<05456> (8799)
to the stock
<0944>
of a tree
<06086>_?
{considereth...: Heb. setteth to his heart} {the stock...: Heb. that which comes of a tree?}
He feedeth
<07462> (8802)
on ashes
<0665>_:
a deceived
<02048> (8795)
heart
<03820>
hath turned him aside
<05186> (8689)_,
that he cannot deliver
<05337> (8686)
his soul
<05315>_,
nor say
<0559> (8799)_,
[Is there] not a lie
<08267>
in my right hand
<03225>_?
Remember
<02142> (8798)
these, O Jacob
<03290>
and Israel
<03478>_;
for thou [art] my servant
<05650>_:
I have formed
<03335> (8804)
thee; thou [art] my servant
<05650>_:
O Israel
<03478>_,
thou shalt not be forgotten
<05382> (8735)
of me.
I have blotted out
<04229> (8804)_,
as a thick cloud
<05645>_,
thy transgressions
<06588>_,
and, as a cloud
<06051>_,
thy sins
<02403>_:
return
<07725> (8798)
unto me; for I have redeemed
<01350> (8804)
thee.
Sing
<07442> (8798)_,
O ye heavens
<08064>_;
for the LORD
<03068>
hath done
<06213> (8804)
[it]: shout
<07321> (8685)_,
ye lower parts
<08482>
of the earth
<0776>_:
break forth
<06476> (8798)
into singing
<07440>_,
ye mountains
<02022>_,
O forest
<03293>_,
and every tree
<06086>
therein: for the LORD
<03068>
hath redeemed
<01350> (8804)
Jacob
<03290>_,
and glorified
<06286> (8691)
himself in Israel
<03478>_.
