A remnant will come back, a remnant of Jacob, to the mighty God. ¹ 

Pay attention and listen to my message! ¹  Be attentive and listen to what I have to say! ² 

Hezekiah turned his face to the wall and prayed to the Lord,

Tie up the scroll as legal evidence, ¹  seal the official record of God’s instructions and give it to my followers. ² 

For with mocking lips and a foreign tongue he will speak to these people. ¹ 

I first decreed to Zion, ‘Look, here’s what will happen!’ ¹  I sent a herald to Jerusalem. ² 

From that time Jesus began to preach this message: ¹  “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is near.”

Yet the Most High ¹  does not live in houses made by human hands, ²  as the prophet says,

For it is written: “Rejoice, O barren woman who does not bear children; ¹  break forth and shout, you who have no birth pains, because the children of the desolate woman are more numerous than those of the woman who has a husband.” ² 

The Lord who commands armies told me this: ¹  “Many houses will certainly become desolate, large, impressive houses will have no one living in them. ² 

So I say: “Don’t look at me! ¹  I am weeping bitterly. Don’t try ²  to console me concerning the destruction of my defenseless people.” ³ 

You complacent ¹  women, get up and listen to me! You carefree ²  daughters, pay attention to what I say!

He was led away after an unjust trial ¹  – but who even cared? ²  Indeed, he was cut off from the land of the living; ³  because of the rebellion of his own ⁴  people he was wounded.

Then the eunuch said ¹  to Philip, “Please tell me, ²  who is the prophet saying this about – himself or someone else?” ³ 

just as it is written, “Look, I am laying in Zion a stone that will cause people to stumble and a rock that will make them fall, ¹  yet the one who believes in him will not be put to shame.” ² 

as it is written, “God gave them a spirit of stupor, eyes that would not see and ears that would not hear, to this very day.” ¹ 

For who has known the mind of the Lord, so as to advise him? ¹  But we have the mind of Christ.

¹ This will be your confirmation that I have spoken the truth: ²  This year you will eat what grows wild, ³  and next year ⁴  what grows on its own from that. But in the third year you will plant seed and harvest crops; you will plant vines and consume their produce. ⁵ 

So I weep along with Jazer ¹  over the vines of Sibmah. I will saturate you ²  with my tears, Heshbon and Elealeh, for the conquering invaders shout triumphantly over your fruit and crops. ³ 

For this reason my stomach churns; ¹  cramps overwhelm me like the contractions of a woman in labor. I am disturbed ²  by what I hear, horrified by what I see.
