gltv - Isaiah:48-50

gltv@Isaiah:48:1 @ Hear this, O house of Jacob, who are called by the name of Israel, and have come out from the waters of Judah, who swear by Jehovah's name and profess by the God of Israel, not in truth or in righteousness.

gltv@Isaiah:48:2 @ For they are called of the holy city, and rest themselves on the God of Israel; Jehovah of Hosts is His name.

gltv@Isaiah:48:3 @ I have foretold the former things from then; and they went out of My mouth; and I made them hear; suddenly I acted, and they came about.

gltv@Isaiah:48:4 @ Because I knew that you are hard, and your neck is a sinew of iron, and your brow brass.

gltv@Isaiah:48:5 @ And I declared to you from then; before it came I made you hear, lest you should say, My idol did them; and my image and my casted image commanded them.

gltv@Isaiah:48:6 @ You heard; see it all; and will you not declare? I made you hear new things from now, even hidden things, and you did not know them.

gltv@Isaiah:48:7 @ They are created now, and not from then; even before today, but you did not hear them; lest you should say, See, I knew them.

gltv@Isaiah:48:8 @ Yea, you did not hear; yea, you did not know; yea, from then your ear was not opened; for I know you surely will betray and trespass, from the womb it was called to you.

gltv@Isaiah:48:9 @ For My name's sake I will put off My anger; and for My praise I will hold back for you, so as not to cut you off.

gltv@Isaiah:48:10 @ Behold, I have refined you, but not with silver; I have chosen you in the furnace of affliction.

gltv@Isaiah:48:11 @ For My sake, for My sake, I will act; for how is it defiled? And I will not give My glory to another.

gltv@Isaiah:48:12 @ Listen to Me, O Jacob, and Israel My called: I am He; I am the first; I surely am the last.

gltv@Isaiah:48:13 @ My hand surely founded earth, and My right hand has stretched out the heavens; I called to them, they stood up together.

gltv@Isaiah:48:14 @ 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.

gltv@Isaiah:48:15 @ I, I have spoken; yea, I have called him, I brought him, and he causes his way to prosper.

gltv@Isaiah:48:16 @ 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.

gltv@Isaiah:48:17 @ 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.

gltv@Isaiah:48:18 @ 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.

gltv@Isaiah:48:19 @ 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.

gltv@Isaiah:48:20 @ 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.

gltv@Isaiah:48:21 @ 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.

gltv@Isaiah:48:22 @ There is no peace, says Jehovah, to the wicked.

gltv@Isaiah:49:1 @ Hear Me, coastlands, and you people from afar, and prick up your ear, Jehovah called Me from the womb; He mentioned My name from My mother's belly.

gltv@Isaiah:49:2 @ And He made My mouth like a sharp sword; He hid Me in the shadow of His hand, and made Me a polished arrow; He hid me in His quiver;

gltv@Isaiah:49:3 @ and said to Me, You are My servant, Israel, You in whom I shall be glorified.

gltv@Isaiah:49:4 @ Then I said, I have labored in vain; I have spent My strength for nothing, and in vain; yet surely My judgment is with Jehovah, and My work with My God.

gltv@Isaiah:49:5 @ And now, says Jehovah who formed Me from the womb to be His servant, to bring Jacob back to Him: Though Israel is not gathered, yet I am honored in the eye of Jehovah, and My God is My strength.

gltv@Isaiah:49:6 @ And He said, It is too little that You should be My servant to raise up the tribes of Jacob, and to restore the preserved ones of Israel; I will also give You for a light of the nations, that You may be My salvation to the end of the earth.

gltv@Isaiah:49:7 @ So says Jehovah, the Redeemer of Israel, His Holy One, to the despised of soul, to the hated of the nation, the servant of rulers, Kings shall see and rise up; and chiefs shall worship; because of Jehovah who is faithful, and the Holy One of Israel; and He chose You.

gltv@Isaiah:49:8 @ So says Jehovah: In a favorable time I have answered You, and in a day of salvation I have helped You. And I will preserve You, and give You for a covenant of the people; to establish the earth, to cause to inherit the desolated inheritances;

gltv@Isaiah:49:9 @ to say to the prisoners, Go out! To those who are in darkness, Show yourselves! They shall feed in the ways, and their pastures shall be in all high places.

gltv@Isaiah:49:10 @ They shall not hunger nor thirst; and the heat and sun shall not strike them. For He who has mercy on them shall lead them; and He shall guide them by the springs of water.

gltv@Isaiah:49:11 @ And I will make all My mountains a way, and My highways shall be set on high.

gltv@Isaiah:49:12 @ Behold, these shall come from afar; and, lo, these from the north and from the west; and these from the land of Sinim.

gltv@Isaiah:49:13 @ Sing, O heavens; and be joyful, O earth; break out into singing, O mountains. For Jehovah has comforted His people and will have pity on His afflicted.

gltv@Isaiah:49:14 @ But Zion said, Jehovah has forsaken me, and, My Lord has forgotten me.

gltv@Isaiah:49:15 @ Can a woman forget her suckling child, from pitying the son of her womb? Yes, these may forget, yet I will surely not forget you.

gltv@Isaiah:49:16 @ Behold, I have carved you on the palms of My hands; your walls are always before Me.

gltv@Isaiah:49:17 @ Your sons hurry; those destroying you and ruining you shall go out from you.

gltv@Isaiah:49:18 @ Lift up your eyes all around and see! They all gather and come to you. As I live, says Jehovah, you shall surely wear all of them as an ornament, and bind them on as a bride.

gltv@Isaiah:49:19 @ For your wastes and your deserted places, and your land of ruins shall even now be too narrow to live there; and they who swallow you shall be far away.

gltv@Isaiah:49:20 @ The sons of your bereavement shall yet say in your ears, The place is too narrow for me; come near so that I may live.

gltv@Isaiah:49:21 @ Then you shall say in your heart, Who has borne these to me, for I am bereaved and desolate, turned aside and an exile; who then has brought up these? Behold, I was left alone. From where do these come?

gltv@Isaiah:49:22 @ So says the Lord Jehovah, Behold, I will lift up My hand to the nations, and will set up My banner to peoples. And they shall bring your sons in the bosom, and your daughters shall be carried on the shoulder.

gltv@Isaiah:49:23 @ And kings shall be your nursing fathers, and their queens your nurses. They shall bow to you, faces down to the earth, and lick up the dust of your feet. And you shall know that I am Jehovah, by whom they who wait for Me shall not be ashamed.

gltv@Isaiah:49:24 @ Shall the plunder be taken from the warrior, or the righteous captive escape?

gltv@Isaiah:49:25 @ But so says Jehovah, Even the captives of the warrior shall be taken, and the plunder of the terrifying ones shall be delivered. For I will strive with him who contends with you; and I will save your sons.

gltv@Isaiah:49:26 @ And those who oppress you, I will feed with their own flesh: and they shall be drunk by their own blood, as with fresh wine. And all flesh shall know that I Jehovah am your Savior and your Redeemer, the mighty One of Jacob.

gltv@Isaiah:50:1 @ So says Jehovah, Where is the scroll of your mother's divorce whom I have put away? Or who of My creditors that I have sold you to him? Behold, you were sold for your iniquities, and your mother was put away for your trespasses.

gltv@Isaiah:50:2 @ Who knows why I have come, and no one is here? I called, and not one answered. Is My hand truly cut short from ransom? Or is there not power in Me to deliver? Behold, at My rebuke I dry up the sea; I make rivers a wilderness; their fish stink because of no water, and die in thirst.

gltv@Isaiah:50:3 @ I clothe the heavens with blackness, and sackcloth makes their covering.

gltv@Isaiah:50:4 @ The Lord Jehovah has given to Me the tongue of taught ones, to know to help the weary with a word. He arouses in the morning; He wakens the ear to Me, to hear as the learned.

gltv@Isaiah:50:5 @ The Lord Jehovah has opened My ear and I did not rebel; I did not turn away backwards.

gltv@Isaiah:50:6 @ I gave My back to strikers, and My cheeks to pluckers; I did not hide My face from shame and spitting.

gltv@Isaiah:50:7 @ And the Lord Jehovah will help Me. On account of this I was not ashamed. On account of this I set My face like flint, and I know that I shall not be ashamed.

gltv@Isaiah:50:8 @ My Justifier is near. Who will contend with Me? Let us stand up together; who is master of My judgment? Let him come near to Me.

gltv@Isaiah:50:9 @ Behold, the Lord Jehovah will help Me; who is He who will condemn Me? Behold, like a garment they shall wear out; the moth shall eat them.

gltv@Isaiah:50:10 @ Who among you fears Jehovah, obeying the voice of His servant, who walks in darkness, and no light is in him? Let him trust in the name of Jehovah, and lean on his God.

gltv@Isaiah:50:11 @ Behold, all of you who kindle fire, who are surrounded by sparks; walk in the light of your fire and in the sparks you are burning. This shall be to you from My hand; you shall lie down in pain.

gltv@Isaiah:51:1 @ Hear Me, pursuers of righteousness, seekers of Jehovah: Look to the rock from which you were cut, and to the hollow of the pit from which you were dug.
