* Listen to me , O Jacob and Israel , My called ; I [am ] He ; I [am ] the first , I also [am ] the last . * My hand also has laid the foundation of the earth , and My right hand has stretched out the heavens . I called ; they stood up together . * Let all of you gather and hear ; who among them has declared these [things ]? The LORD has loved him ; He will do His pleasure on Babylon , and His arm [shall be ] on the Chaldeans . * I , I , have spoken ; yea , I have called him ; I brought him and he makes his way succeed . * 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 ] the LORD your God who teaches you to profit , who leads you by the way that you should go . * Oh that you had paid attention to My commandments ! Then your peace would have been like a river , and your righteousness like the waves of the sea . * And your seed would have been like the sand , and the offspring of your bowels like its grain ; his name would not have been cut off nor destroyed from before Me . * Go out of Babylon ; flee from the Chaldeans . Tell it with a voice of singing , let this be heard , let it go out to the end of the earth ; say , The LORD has redeemed His servant Jacob . * And they did not thirst [when ] He led them through the deserts ; He caused the waters to flow out of the rock for them ; He cut open the rock also , and the waters gushed out . * [There is ] no peace , says the LORD , to the wicked .
