* Listen to Me , O Jacob , and Israel My called : I am He ; I am the first ; I surely am the last . * My hand surely founded earth , and My right hand has stretched out the heavens ; I called to them , they stood up together . * All of you gather and hear : Who among them has declared these things ? Jehovah has loved him . He will do His pleasure on Babylon ; yea , His arm shall be on the Chaldeans . * I , I have spoken ; yea , I have called him , I brought him , and he causes his way to prosper . * Come near to me ; hear this : I have not spoken in secret from the beginning . From its being , I was there ; and now the Lord Jehovah , and His Spirit , has sent Me . * So says Jehovah , your Redeemer , the Holy One of Israel , I am Jehovah your God , who teaches you to profit , who leads you in the way you should go . * Oh that you had listened to My commands ! Then your peace would have been like the river , and your righteousness like the waves of the sea . * And your seed would have been like the sand , and your offspring of your bowels like its grain ; his name would not have been cut off nor destroyed from My presence . * Go out of Babylon ; flee from the Chaldeans . Tell this with the voice of rejoicing ; let this be heard , let it go out to the end of the earth ; say , Jehovah has redeemed His servant Jacob . * And they did not thirst ; He led them in the deserts ; He made waters flow out of rock for them . And He cut open the rock and the water gushed out . * There is no peace , says Jehovah , to the wicked .
