Isaiah 48 (kjv)

Hear^H8085 ye this, O house^H1004 of Jacob^H3290, which are called^H7121 by the name^H8034 of Israel^H3478, and are come forth^H3318 out of the waters^H4325 of Judah^H3063, which swear^H7650 by the name^H8034 of the LORD^H3068, and make mention^H2142 of the God^H430 of Israel^H3478, but not in truth^H571, nor in righteousness^H6666.²For they call^H7121 themselves of the holy^H6944 city^H5892, and stay^H5564 themselves upon the God^H430 of Israel^H3478; The LORD^H3068 of hosts^H6635 is his name^H8034.³I have declared^H5046 the former things^H7223 from the beginning^H227; and they went forth^H3318 out of my mouth^H6310, and I shewed^H8085 them; I did^H6213 them suddenly^H6597, and they came to pass^H935.⁴Because I knew^H1847 that thou art obstinate^H7186, and thy neck^H6203 is an iron^H1270 sinew^H1517, and thy brow^H4696 brass^H5154;⁵I have even from the beginning^H227 declared^H5046 it to thee; before it came to pass^H935 I shewed^H8085 it thee: lest thou shouldest say^H559, Mine idol^H6090 hath done^H6213 them, and my graven image^H6459, and my molten image^H5262, hath commanded^H6680 them.⁶Thou hast heard^H8085, see^H2372 all this; and will not ye declare^H5046 it? I have shewed^H8085 thee new things^H2319 from this time^H6258, even hidden things^H5341, and thou didst not know^H3045 them.⁷They are created^H1254 now, and not from the beginning; even before^H6440 the day^H3117 when thou heardest^H8085 them not; lest thou shouldest say^H559, Behold, I knew^H3045 them.⁸Yea, thou heardest^H8085 not; yea, thou knewest^H3045 not; yea, from that time that thine ear^H241 was not opened^H6605: for I knew^H3045 that thou wouldest deal very^H898 treacherously^H898, and wast called^H7121 a transgressor^H6586 from the womb^H990.

⁹For my name's^H8034 sake will I defer^H748 mine anger^H639, and for my praise^H8416 will I refrain^H2413 for thee, that I cut thee not off^H3772.¹⁰Behold, I have refined^H6884 thee, but not with silver^H3701; I have chosen^H977 thee in the furnace^H3564 of affliction^H6040.¹¹For mine own sake, even for mine own sake, will I do^H6213 it: for how should my name be polluted^H2490? and I will not give^H5414 my glory^H3519 unto another^H312.

¹²Hearken^H8085 unto me, O Jacob^H3290 and Israel^H3478, my called^H7121; I am he; I am the first^H7223, I also am the last^H314.¹³Mine hand^H3027 also hath laid the foundation^H3245 of the earth^H776, and my right hand^H3225 hath spanned^H2946 the heavens^H8064: when I call^H7121 unto them, they stand up^H5975 together^H3162.¹⁴All ye, assemble^H6908 yourselves, and hear^H8085; which among them hath declared^H5046 these things? The LORD^H3068 hath loved^H157 him: he will do^H6213 his pleasure^H2656 on Babylon^H894, and his arm^H2220 shall be on the Chaldeans^H3778.¹⁵I, even I, have spoken^H1696; yea, I have called^H7121 him: I have brought^H935 him, and he shall make his way^H1870 prosperous^H6743.

¹⁶Come^H7126 ye near^H7126 unto me, hear^H8085 ye this; I have not spoken^H1696 in secret^H5643 from the beginning^H7218; from the time^H6256 that it was, there am I: and now the Lord^H136 GOD^H3069, and his Spirit^H7307, hath sent^H7971 me.¹⁷Thus saith^H559 the LORD^H3068, thy Redeemer^H1350, the Holy One^H6918 of Israel^H3478; I am the LORD^H3068 thy God^H430 which teacheth^H3925 thee to profit^H3276, which leadeth^H1869 thee by the way^H1870 that thou shouldest go^H3212.¹⁸O that^H3863 thou hadst hearkened^H7181 to my commandments^H4687! then had thy peace^H7965 been as a river^H5104, and thy righteousness^H6666 as the waves^H1530 of the sea^H3220:¹⁹Thy seed^H2233 also had been as the sand^H2344, and the offspring^H6631 of thy bowels^H4578 like the gravel^H4579 thereof; his name^H8034 should not have been cut off^H3772 nor destroyed^H8045 from before^H6440 me.

²⁰Go ye forth^H3318 of Babylon^H894, flee^H1272 ye from the Chaldeans^H3778, with a voice^H6963 of singing^H7440 declare^H5046 ye, tell^H8085 this, utter^H3318 it even to the end^H7097 of the earth^H776; say^H559 ye, The LORD^H3068 hath redeemed^H1350 his servant^H5650 Jacob^H3290.²¹And they thirsted^H6770 not when he led^H3212 them through the deserts^H2723: he caused the waters^H4325 to flow^H5140 out of the rock^H6697 for them: he clave^H1234 the rock^H6697 also, and the waters^H4325 gushed out^H2100.²²There is no peace^H7965, saith^H559 the LORD^H3068, unto the wicked^H7563.
