rotherham@Isaiah:48:1 @ Hear ye this O house of Jacob, Ye who call yourselves by the name of Israel, Yea from the waters of Judah, came they forth, Who swear by the name of Yahweh, And, by the God of Israel, call to remembrance Not in truth, nor in righteousness;

rotherham@Isaiah:48:2 @ For of the holy city, do they call themselves, And on the God of Israel, do they stay themselves, Yahweh of hosts, is his name.

rotherham@Isaiah:48:3 @ Things in advance, of old, I declared, Yea out of mine own mouth, came they forth, that I might let them be known, Suddenly, I wrought and they came to pass.

rotherham@Isaiah:48:4 @ Because I knew that Obstinate, thou wast, And, a sinew of iron, was thy neck, And thy brow, brazen,

rotherham@Isaiah:48:5 @ therefore told I theein time past, Ere yet it came, I let thee hear, Lest thou shouldest say Mine idol wrought them, Yea, my carved image and my molten image, commanded them!

rotherham@Isaiah:48:6 @ Thou hast heardsee it whole, And will, ye, not tell? I have let thee hear new thingsfrom the present time, Even secrets which ye knew not.

rotherham@Isaiah:48:7 @ Now, are they created, and not in time past, And, before to-day, thou hadst not heard of them, Lest thou shouldest say, Lo! I knew them!

rotherham@Isaiah:48:8 @ Nay! thou hadst not heard, Nay! thou hadst not known, Nay! in time past, thine ear, was not opened, For I knew that thou, wouldst be treacherous, Yea a transgressor from birth, hast thou been called.

rotherham@Isaiah:48:9 @ For the sake of mine own Name, will I defer mine anger, And for my praise, will I restrain myself towards thee, So as not to cut thee off.

rotherham@Isaiah:48:10 @ Lo! I have refined thee, but not as silver, I have tested thee, in a smelting-pot of affliction.

rotherham@Isaiah:48:11 @ For mine own sakefor mine own sake, will I effectually work For how should it be profaned? And, my gloryto another, will I not give.

rotherham@Isaiah:48:12 @ Hearken unto me O Jacob, And Israel, my called one, I, am, the Same I, the first, yea, I, the last:

rotherham@Isaiah:48:13 @ Surely, mine own hand, founded the earth, And, my right hand, stretched out the heavens, While I was calling unto them, they stood forth, at once

rotherham@Isaiah:48:14 @ Assemble yourselvesall of you and hear, Who among them, hath told these things? he whom Yahweh loveth, will execute His pleasure, on Babylon, And his stroke on the Chaldeans.

rotherham@Isaiah:48:15 @ II, have spoken, Yea I have called him, I have brought him in, and he shall make prosperous his way.

rotherham@Isaiah:48:16 @ Draw ye near unto mehear ye this, Not in advance in secret, have I spoken, From the very time it cometh into being, there, am I, And, now, My Lord Yahweh hath sent me and his spirit.

rotherham@Isaiah:48:17 @ Thus saith Yahweh Thy Redeemer, The Holy One of Israel, IYahweh, am thy God, Teaching thee to profit, Guiding thee in the way thou shouldest go.

rotherham@Isaiah:48:18 @ Oh! that thou hadst hearkened to my commandments, Then had been, like a river, thy prosperity, And, thy righteousness, like the waves of the sea:

rotherham@Isaiah:48:19 @ Then had been, like the sand, thy seed, And, the offspring of thy body, like the grains thereof, Neither cut off nor destroyed had been his name from before me.

rotherham@Isaiah:48:20 @ Come ye forth out of Babylon, Flee from among the Chaldeans, With triumphant voice, tell yelet this be heard, Let it go forth as far as the end of the earth, Say ye Yahweh hath redeemed his servant Jacob!

rotherham@Isaiah:49:1 @ Hearken, ye Coastlands, unto me, And give ear ye peoples afar off, Yahweh, called me, from my birth, From my nativity, made he mention of my name;

rotherham@Isaiah:49:2 @ And he made my mouth, like a sharp sword, In the shadow of his hand, he concealed me, And made of me a polished arrow, In his quiver, he hid me;

rotherham@Isaiah:49:3 @ And said to me My Servant, thou art, Israel, in whom I will get myself glory.

rotherham@Isaiah:49:4 @ But I, said, To no purpose, have I toiled, For waste and mistmy vigour, have I spent, Surely, my vindication, is, with, Yahweh, And, my recompence, with my God.

rotherham@Isaiah:49:5 @ Now, therefore, said Yahweh Fashioning me from birth To be Servant to him, To restore Jacob unto him, And that, Israel, unto him, might be gathered And I be honourable in the eyes of Yahweh, And, my God, be proved to have been my strength,

rotherham@Isaiah:49:6 @ Yea he said It is too small a thing, for being my Servant, That thou shouldest raise up the tribes of Jacob, And the preserved of Israel, shouldst restore, So I will give thee to become a light of nations, That, my salvation, may reach as far as the end of the earth.

rotherham@Isaiah:49:7 @ Thus, saith Yahwehthe Redeemer of Israel, his Holy One To him that is despised of the soul, To the abhorred of the nation To the servant of rulers, Kings, shall see and arise, Princes, lo! they have bowed themselves down, Because of Yahweh, who is faithful, The Holy One of Israel, lo! he hath chosen thee.

rotherham@Isaiah:49:8 @ Thus, saith Yahweh In a time of acceptance, have I answered thee, In a day of salvation, have I helped thee, That I may preserve thee And give thee as the covenant of a people, To establish the land, To bring into possession the desolate heritages;

rotherham@Isaiah:49:10 @ They shall neither hunger, nor thirst, Nor shall smite them the glowing sand, or the glaring sun, For, he that hath compassion upon them, will lead them, And unto springs of water, will he conduct them.

rotherham@Isaiah:49:11 @ Then will I make of all my mountains, a road, And my highways, shall be upraised.

rotherham@Isaiah:49:12 @ Lo! these, from afar, shall come in, And lo! these, from the North and from the West, And these, from the land of Sinim.

rotherham@Isaiah:49:13 @ Shout in triumph O heavens! And exult O earth! And break forth, ye mountains, into shouts of triumph, For Yahweh hath comforted his people, And on his humbled ones, taketh he compassion.

rotherham@Isaiah:49:14 @ But Zion had said. Yahweh hath forsaken me, Even, My Lord, hath forgotten me!

rotherham@Isaiah:49:15 @ Can, a woman, forget, her sucking child, Past taking compassion on the son of her womb? Even these, may forget, Yet will, I, not forget, thee:

rotherham@Isaiah:49:16 @ Lo! on the palms of my hands, have portrayed thee, Thy walls are before me continually.

rotherham@Isaiah:49:17 @ In haste are thy sons, They who have been tearing thee down and laying thee waste, out of thee, let them go forth!

rotherham@Isaiah:49:18 @ Lift up, round about, thine eyes and see, All those, have gathered themselves togetherhave come to thee! As I live, Declareth Yahweh, Surely all those as an ornament, shalt thou put on, And bind them about thee for a girdle as a bride.

rotherham@Isaiah:49:19 @ Surely, as for thy wastes, and thy desolations, and thy land of ruins, Surely, now, shalt thou be too strait for thine inhabitants, And, far off, shall be they who have been swallowing thee up.

rotherham@Isaiah:49:20 @ The children of whom thou wast bereaved shall yet say in thine ears, Too strait for me, is the place Make room for me that I may settle down.

rotherham@Isaiah:49:21 @ Then shalt thou say in thy heart, Who hath borne me, these, Seeing, I, have been bereaved and unfruitful, a captive and banished, These, therefore, who hath brought them up? Lo! I, was left, alone, These, where were they.

rotherham@Isaiah:49:22 @ Thus, saith My Lord, Yahweh Lo! I will lift up, unto nations my hand, Yea unto peoples, will I raise high my banner, And they shall bring in thy sons in their bosom, And, thy daughters, on the shoulder shall be borne;

rotherham@Isaiah:49:23 @ And, kings, shall be, thy foster-fathers. And their queens, thy nursing mothers, With face to the ground, shall they bow down to thee, The dust of thy feet, shall they lick, So shalt thou know that, I, am Yahweh, In that, they shall not be put to shame, Who were waiting for me.

rotherham@Isaiah:49:24 @ Shall prey, be taken from a mighty one? Or the captive of one in the right, be delivered?

rotherham@Isaiah:49:25 @ Surely, thus, saith Yahweh Even the captive of the mighty one, shall be taken away, And the prey of the tyrant, be delivered; And thine opposers, I, will oppose, And thy children, I, will save;

rotherham@Isaiah:49:26 @ Then will I feed thy tormentors with their own flesh, And as with new winewith their own blood, shall they be drunk, So shall all flesh, know, that, IYahweh, am thy Saviour, And, thy Redeemer, is the Mighty One of Jacob.

rotherham@Isaiah:50:1 @ Thus, saith Yahweh Where then is the set, oil of your mothers divorce, whom I have put away? Or, which of my creditors, is it to whom I have sold you? Lo! for your iniquities, have ye been sold, And for your transgressions, hath your mother been put away.

rotherham@Isaiah:50:2 @ Wherefore, When I came in, was there no one? When I called, was there none to answer? Is mine own hand, really shortened, that it cannot redeem? Or is there not, in me, strength to deliver? Lo! by my rebuke, I dry up the sea I make rivers a desert, Their fish Stinketh, for want of water, Yea dieth, for thirst:

rotherham@Isaiah:50:3 @ I clothe the heavens with gloom, And, of sackcloth, make I their covering.

rotherham@Isaiah:50:4 @ My Lord Yahweh, hath given unto me the tongue of the instructed, That I should know how to succour the fainting, with discourse, He kept wakeningmorning by morning. He kept wakening mine ear, to hearken as do the instructed;

rotherham@Isaiah:50:5 @ My Lord, Yahweh, opened mine ear, And, I, was not rebellious, Away, turned I not:

rotherham@Isaiah:50:6 @ My back, gave I to smiters, and My cheeks, to them who pulled out the beard, My face, hid I not from insult and spitting.

rotherham@Isaiah:50:7 @ Because, My Lord, Yahweh, would help me, Therefore was I not deterred by insult, Therefore did I set my face like flint, And I knew that I should not be put to shame.

rotherham@Isaiah:50:8 @ At hand, is one who can justify me. Who will contend with me? let, us stand forth together, Who can accuse me? let him draw near to me!

rotherham@Isaiah:50:9 @ Lo! My Lord, Yahweh, will help me, Who is he that shall prove me lawless? Lo! they all, as a garment, shall fall to pieces, the moth shall consume them.

rotherham@Isaiah:50:10 @ Who among you, revereth Yahweh, Hearkening unto the voice of his Servant, That hath walked in dark places And hath had no gleam of light? Let him trust in the name of Yahweh, And lean upon his God.

rotherham@Isaiah:50:11 @ Lo! all ye that kindle a fire, That gird yourselves with fiery darts, Walk ye in the blaze of your own fire. And in the fiery darts ye have kindled, At my hand, hath this befallen you, In sorrow, shall ye lie down.

rotherham@Isaiah:51:1 @ Hearken unto me, Ye that pursue righteousness, Ye that seek Yahweh, Look well unto the rock whence ye were hewn, And unto the quarry whence ye were digged:
