Isaiah 40

KJV

1  Comfort⁵¹⁶² ye, comfort⁵¹⁶² ye my people,⁵⁹⁷¹ saith⁵⁵⁹ your God.⁴³⁰

2  Speak¹⁶⁹⁶ ye comfortably^{5921 3820} to Jerusalem,³³⁸⁹ and cry⁷¹²¹ unto⁴¹³ her, that³⁵⁸⁸ her warfare⁶⁶³⁵ is accomplished,⁴³⁹⁰ that³⁵⁸⁸ her iniquity⁵⁷⁷¹ is pardoned:⁷⁵²¹ for³⁵⁸⁸ she hath received³⁹⁴⁷ of the LORD's³⁰⁶⁸ hand^{4480 3027} double³⁷¹⁸ for all³⁶⁰⁵ her sins.²⁴⁰³

3  The voice⁶⁹⁶³ of him that crieth⁷¹²¹ in the wilderness,⁴⁰⁵⁷ Prepare⁶⁴³⁷ ye the way¹⁸⁷⁰ of the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ make straight³⁴⁷⁴ in the desert⁶¹⁶⁰ a highway⁴⁵⁴⁶ for our God.⁴³⁰

4  Every³⁶⁰⁵ valley¹⁵¹⁶ shall be exalted,⁵³⁷⁵ and every³⁶⁰⁵ mountain²⁰²² and hill¹³⁸⁹ shall be made low:⁸²¹³ and the crooked⁶¹²¹ shall be made¹⁹⁶¹ straight,⁴³³⁴ and the rough places⁷⁴⁰⁶ plain:¹²³⁷

5  And the glory³⁵¹⁹ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ shall be revealed,¹⁵⁴⁰ and all³⁶⁰⁵ flesh¹³²⁰ shall see⁷²⁰⁰ it together:³¹⁶² for³⁵⁸⁸ the mouth⁶³¹⁰ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ hath spoken¹⁶⁹⁶ it.

6  The voice⁶⁹⁶³ said,⁵⁵⁹ Cry.⁷¹²¹ And he said,⁵⁵⁹ What⁴¹⁰⁰ shall I cry?⁷¹²¹ All³⁶⁰⁵ flesh¹³²⁰ is grass,²⁶⁸² and all³⁶⁰⁵ the goodliness²⁶¹⁷ thereof is as the flower⁶⁷³¹ of the field:⁷⁷⁰⁴

7  The grass²⁶⁸² withereth,³⁰⁰¹ the flower⁶⁷³¹ fadeth:⁵⁰³⁴ because³⁵⁸⁸ the spirit⁷³⁰⁷ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ bloweth⁵³⁸⁰ upon it: surely⁴⁰³ the people⁵⁹⁷¹ is grass.²⁶⁸²

8  The grass²⁶⁸² withereth,³⁰⁰¹ the flower⁶⁷³¹ fadeth:⁵⁰³⁴ but the word¹⁶⁹⁷ of our God⁴³⁰ shall stand⁶⁹⁶⁵ forever.⁵⁷⁶⁹

9  O Zion,⁶⁷²⁶ that bringest good tidings,¹³¹⁹ get thee up⁵⁹²⁷ into⁵⁹²¹ the high¹³⁶⁴ mountain;²⁰²² O Jerusalem,³³⁸⁹ that bringest good tidings,¹³¹⁹ lift up⁷³¹¹ thy voice⁶⁹⁶³ with strength;³⁵⁸¹ lift it up,⁷³¹¹ be not afraid;^{3372 408} say⁵⁵⁹ unto the cities⁵⁸⁹² of Judah,³⁰⁶³ Behold²⁰⁰⁹ your God!⁴³⁰

10  Behold,²⁰⁰⁹ the Lord¹³⁶ GOD³⁰⁶⁹ will come⁹³⁵ with strong²³⁸⁹ hand, and his arm²²²⁰ shall rule⁴⁹¹⁰ for him: behold,²⁰⁰⁹ his reward⁷⁹³⁹ is with⁸⁵⁴ him, and his work⁶⁴⁶⁸ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ him.

11  He shall feed⁷⁴⁶² his flock⁵⁷³⁹ like a shepherd:⁷⁴⁶² he shall gather⁶⁹⁰⁸ the lambs²⁹²² with his arm,²²²⁰ and carry⁵³⁷⁵ them in his bosom,²⁴³⁶ and shall gently lead⁵⁰⁹⁵ those that are with young.⁵⁷⁶³

12  Who⁴³¹⁰ hath measured⁴⁰⁵⁸ the waters⁴³²⁵ in the hollow of his hand,⁸¹⁶⁸ and meted out⁸⁵⁰⁵ heaven⁸⁰⁶⁴ with the span,²²³⁹ and comprehended³⁵⁵⁷ the dust⁶⁰⁸³ of the earth⁷⁷⁶ in a measure,⁷⁹⁹¹ and weighed⁸²⁵⁴ the mountains²⁰²² in scales,⁶⁴²⁵ and the hills¹³⁸⁹ in a balance?³⁹⁷⁶

13  Who⁴³¹⁰ hath directed^{8505 853} the Spirit⁷³⁰⁷ of the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ or being his counselor^{376 6098} hath taught³⁰⁴⁵ him?

14  ⁸⁵³ With whom⁴³¹⁰ took he counsel,³²⁸⁹ and who instructed⁹⁹⁵ him, and taught³⁹²⁵ him in the path⁷³⁴ of judgment,⁴⁹⁴¹ and taught³⁹²⁵ him knowledge,¹⁸⁴⁷ and showed³⁰⁴⁵ to him the way¹⁸⁷⁰ of understanding?⁸³⁹⁴

15  Behold,²⁰⁰⁵ the nations¹⁴⁷¹ are as a drop⁴⁷⁵² of a bucket,^{4480 1805} and are counted²⁸⁰³ as the small dust⁷⁸³⁴ of the balance:³⁹⁷⁶ behold,²⁰⁰⁵ he taketh up⁵¹⁹⁰ the isles³³⁹ as a very little thing.¹⁸⁵¹

16  And Lebanon³⁸⁴⁴ is not³⁶⁹ sufficient¹⁷⁶⁷ to burn,¹¹⁹⁷ nor³⁶⁹ the beasts²⁴¹⁶ thereof sufficient¹⁷⁶⁷ for a burnt offering.⁵⁹³⁰

17  All³⁶⁰⁵ nations¹⁴⁷¹ before⁵⁰⁴⁸ him are as nothing;³⁶⁹ and they are counted²⁸⁰³ to him less than nothing,^{4480 657} and vanity.⁸⁴¹⁴

18  To⁴¹³ whom⁴³¹⁰ then will ye liken¹⁸¹⁹ God?⁴¹⁰ or what⁴¹⁰⁰ likeness¹⁸²³ will ye compare⁶¹⁸⁶ unto him?

19  The workman²⁷⁹⁶ melteth⁵²⁵⁸ a graven image,⁶⁴⁵⁹ and the goldsmith⁶⁸⁸⁴ spreadeth it over⁷⁵⁵⁴ with gold,²⁰⁹¹ and casteth⁶⁸⁸⁴ silver³⁷⁰¹ chains.⁷⁵⁷⁷

20  He that is so impoverished⁵⁵³³ that he hath no oblation⁸⁶⁴¹ chooseth⁹⁷⁷ a tree⁶⁰⁸⁶ that will not³⁸⁰⁸ rot;⁷⁵³⁷ he seeketh¹²⁴⁵ unto him a cunning²⁴⁵⁰ workman²⁷⁹⁶ to prepare³⁵⁵⁹ a graven image,⁶⁴⁵⁹ that shall not³⁸⁰⁸ be moved.⁴¹³¹

21  Have ye not³⁸⁰⁸ known?³⁰⁴⁵ have ye not³⁸⁰⁸ heard?⁸⁰⁸⁵ hath it not³⁸⁰⁸ been told⁵⁰⁴⁶ you from the beginning?^{4480 7218} have ye not³⁸⁰⁸ understood⁹⁹⁵ from the foundations^{4480 4146} of the earth?⁷⁷⁶

22  It is he that sitteth³⁴²⁷ upon⁵⁹²¹ the circle²³²⁹ of the earth,⁷⁷⁶ and the inhabitants³⁴²⁷ thereof are as grasshoppers;²²⁸⁴ that stretcheth out⁵¹⁸⁶ the heavens⁸⁰⁶⁴ as a curtain,¹⁸⁵² and spreadeth them out⁴⁹⁶⁹ as a tent¹⁶⁸ to dwell in:³⁴²⁷

23  That bringeth⁵⁴¹⁴ the princes⁷³³⁶ to nothing;³⁶⁹ he maketh⁶²¹³ the judges⁸¹⁹⁹ of the earth⁷⁷⁶ as vanity.⁸⁴¹⁴

24  Yea,⁶³⁷ they shall not¹⁰⁷⁷ be planted;⁵¹⁹³ yea,⁶³⁷ they shall not¹⁰⁷⁷ be sown:²²³² yea,⁶³⁷ their stock¹⁵⁰³ shall not¹⁰⁷⁷ take root⁸³²⁷ in the earth:⁷⁷⁶ and he shall also¹⁵⁷¹ blow⁵³⁹⁸ upon them, and they shall wither,³⁰⁰¹ and the whirlwind⁵⁵⁹¹ shall take them away⁵³⁷⁵ as stubble.⁷¹⁷⁹

25  To⁴¹³ whom⁴³¹⁰ then will ye liken¹⁸¹⁹ me, or shall I be equal?⁷⁷³⁷ saith⁵⁵⁹ the Holy One.⁶⁹¹⁸

26  Lift up⁵³⁷⁵ your eyes⁵⁸⁶⁹ on high,⁴⁷⁹¹ and behold⁷²⁰⁰ who⁴³¹⁰ hath created¹²⁵⁴ these⁴²⁸ things, that bringeth out³³¹⁸ their host⁶⁶³⁵ by number:⁴⁵⁵⁷ he calleth⁷¹²¹ them all³⁶⁰⁵ by names⁸⁰³⁴ by the greatness^{4480 7230} of his might,²⁰² for that he is strong⁵³³ in power;³⁵⁸¹ not³⁸⁰⁸ one³⁷⁶ faileth.⁵⁷³⁷

27  Why⁴¹⁰⁰ sayest⁵⁵⁹ thou, O Jacob,³²⁹⁰ and speakest,¹⁶⁹⁶ O Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ My way¹⁸⁷⁰ is hid⁵⁶⁴¹ from the LORD,^{4480 3068} and my judgment⁴⁹⁴¹ is passed over⁵⁶⁷⁴ from my God?^{4480 430}

28  Hast thou not³⁸⁰⁸ known?³⁰⁴⁵ hast thou not³⁸⁰⁸ heard,⁸⁰⁸⁵ that the everlasting⁵⁷⁶⁹ God,⁴³⁰ the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ the Creator¹²⁵⁴ of the ends⁷⁰⁹⁸ of the earth,⁷⁷⁶ fainteth³²⁸⁶ not,³⁸⁰⁸ neither³⁸⁰⁸ is weary?³⁰²¹ there is no³⁶⁹ searching²⁷¹⁴ of his understanding.⁸³⁹⁴

29  He giveth⁵⁴¹⁴ power³⁵⁸¹ to the faint;³²⁸⁷ and to them that have no³⁶⁹ might²⁰² he increaseth⁷²³⁵ strength.⁶¹⁰⁹

30  Even the youths⁵²⁸⁸ shall faint³²⁸⁶ and be weary,³⁰²¹ and the young men⁹⁷⁰ shall utterly fall:^{3782 3782}

31  But they that wait upon⁶⁹⁶⁰ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ shall renew²⁴⁹⁸ their strength;³⁵⁸¹ they shall mount up⁵⁹²⁷ with wings⁸³ as eagles;⁵⁴⁰⁴ they shall run,⁷³²³ and not³⁸⁰⁸ be weary;³⁰²¹ and they shall walk,¹⁹⁸⁰ and not³⁸⁰⁸ faint.³²⁸⁶

1 παρακαλεῖτε παρακαλεῖτε τὸν λαόν μου λέγει ὁ θεός

2 ἱερεῖς λαλήσατε εἰς τὴν καρδίαν Ιερουσαλημ παρακαλέσατε αὐτήν ὅτι ἐπλήσθη ἡ ταπείνωσις αὐτῆς λέλυται αὐτῆς ἡ ἁμαρτία ὅτι ἐδέξατο ἐκ χειρὸς κυρίου διπλᾶ τὰ ἁμαρτήματα αὐτῆς

3 φωνὴ βοῶντος ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ ἑτοιμάσατε τὴν ὁδὸν κυρίου εὐθείας ποιεῖτε τὰς τρίβους τοῦ θεοῦ ἡμῶν

4 πᾶσα φάραγξ πληρωθήσεται καὶ πᾶν ὄρος καὶ βουνὸς ταπεινωθήσεται καὶ ἔσται πάντα τὰ σκολιὰ εἰς εὐθεῖαν καὶ ἡ τραχεῖα εἰς πεδία

5 καὶ ὀφθήσεται ἡ δόξα κυρίου καὶ ὄψεται πᾶσα σὰρξ τὸ σωτήριον τοῦ θεοῦ ὅτι κύριος ἐλάλησεν

6 φωνὴ λέγοντος βόησον καὶ εἶπα τί βοήσω πᾶσα σὰρξ χόρτος καὶ πᾶσα δόξα ἀνθρώπου ὡς ἄνθος χόρτου

7 ἐξηράνθη ὁ χόρτος καὶ τὸ ἄνθος ἐξέπεσεν

8 τὸ δὲ ῥῆμα τοῦ θεοῦ ἡμῶν μένει εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα

9 ἐπ᾽ ὄρος ὑψηλὸν ἀνάβηθι ὁ εὐαγγελιζόμενος Σιων ὕψωσον τῇ ἰσχύι τὴν φωνήν σου ὁ εὐαγγελιζόμενος Ιερουσαλημ ὑψώσατε μὴ φοβεῖσθε εἰπὸν ταῖς πόλεσιν Ιουδα ἰδοὺ ὁ θεὸς ὑμῶν

10 ἰδοὺ κύριος μετὰ ἰσχύος ἔρχεται καὶ ὁ βραχίων μετὰ κυριείας ἰδοὺ ὁ μισθὸς αὐτοῦ μετ᾽ αὐτοῦ καὶ τὸ ἔργον ἐναντίον αὐτοῦ

11 ὡς ποιμὴν ποιμανεῖ τὸ ποίμνιον αὐτοῦ καὶ τῷ βραχίονι αὐτοῦ συνάξει ἄρνας καὶ ἐν γαστρὶ ἐχούσας παρακαλέσει

12 τίς ἐμέτρησεν τῇ χειρὶ τὸ ὕδωρ καὶ τὸν οὐρανὸν σπιθαμῇ καὶ πᾶσαν τὴν γῆν δρακί τίς ἔστησεν τὰ ὄρη σταθμῷ καὶ τὰς νάπας ζυγῷ

13 τίς ἔγνω νοῦν κυρίου καὶ τίς αὐτοῦ σύμβουλος ἐγένετο ὃς συμβιβᾷ αὐτόν

14 ἢ πρὸς τίνα συνεβουλεύσατο καὶ συνεβίβασεν αὐτόν ἢ τίς ἔδειξεν αὐτῷ κρίσιν ἢ ὁδὸν συνέσεως τίς ἔδειξεν αὐτῷ

15 εἰ πάντα τὰ ἔθνη ὡς σταγὼν ἀπὸ κάδου καὶ ὡς ῥοπὴ ζυγοῦ ἐλογίσθησαν καὶ ὡς σίελος λογισθήσονται

16 ὁ δὲ Λίβανος οὐχ ἱκανὸς εἰς καῦσιν καὶ πάντα τὰ τετράποδα οὐχ ἱκανὰ εἰς ὁλοκάρπωσιν

17 καὶ πάντα τὰ ἔθνη ὡς οὐδέν εἰσι καὶ εἰς οὐθὲν ἐλογίσθησαν

18 τίνι ὡμοιώσατε κύριον καὶ τίνι ὁμοιώματι ὡμοιώσατε αὐτόν

19 μὴ εἰκόνα ἐποίησεν τέκτων ἢ χρυσοχόος χωνεύσας χρυσίον περιεχρύσωσεν αὐτόν ὁμοίωμα κατεσκεύασεν αὐτόν

20 ξύλον γὰρ ἄσηπτον ἐκλέγεται τέκτων καὶ σοφῶς ζητεῖ πῶς στήσει αὐτοῦ εἰκόνα καὶ ἵνα μὴ σαλεύηται

21 οὐ γνώσεσθε οὐκ ἀκούσεσθε οὐκ ἀνηγγέλη ἐξ ἀρχῆς ὑμῖν οὐκ ἔγνωτε τὰ θεμέλια τῆς γῆς

22 ὁ κατέχων τὸν γῦρον τῆς γῆς καὶ οἱ ἐνοικοῦντες ἐν αὐτῇ ὡς ἀκρίδες ὁ στήσας ὡς καμάραν τὸν οὐρανὸν καὶ διατείνας ὡς σκηνὴν κατοικεῖν

23 ὁ διδοὺς ἄρχοντας εἰς οὐδὲν ἄρχειν τὴν δὲ γῆν ὡς οὐδὲν ἐποίησεν

24 οὐ γὰρ μὴ σπείρωσιν οὐδὲ μὴ φυτεύσωσιν οὐδὲ μὴ ῥιζωθῇ εἰς τὴν γῆν ἡ ῥίζα αὐτῶν ἔπνευσεν ἐπ᾽ αὐτοὺς καὶ ἐξηράνθησαν καὶ καταιγὶς ὡς φρύγανα ἀναλήμψεται αὐτούς

25 νῦν οὖν τίνι με ὡμοιώσατε καὶ ὑψωθήσομαι εἶπεν ὁ ἅγιος

26 ἀναβλέψατε εἰς ὕψος τοὺς ὀφθαλμοὺς ὑμῶν καὶ ἴδετε τίς κατέδειξεν πάντα ταῦτα ὁ ἐκφέρων κατὰ ἀριθμὸν τὸν κόσμον αὐτοῦ πάντας ἐπ᾽ ὀνόματι καλέσει ἀπὸ πολλῆς δόξης καὶ ἐν κράτει ἰσχύος οὐδέν σε ἔλαθεν

27 μὴ γὰρ εἴπῃς Ιακωβ καὶ τί ἐλάλησας Ισραηλ ἀπεκρύβη ἡ ὁδός μου ἀπὸ τοῦ θεοῦ καὶ ὁ θεός μου τὴν κρίσιν ἀφεῖλεν καὶ ἀπέστη

28 καὶ νῦν οὐκ ἔγνως εἰ μὴ ἤκουσας θεὸς αἰώνιος ὁ θεὸς ὁ κατασκευάσας τὰ ἄκρα τῆς γῆς οὐ πεινάσει οὐδὲ κοπιάσει οὐδὲ ἔστιν ἐξεύρεσις τῆς φρονήσεως αὐτοῦ

29 διδοὺς τοῖς πεινῶσιν ἰσχὺν καὶ τοῖς μὴ ὀδυνωμένοις λύπην

30 πεινάσουσιν γὰρ νεώτεροι καὶ κοπιάσουσιν νεανίσκοι καὶ ἐκλεκτοὶ ἀνίσχυες ἔσονται

31 οἱ δὲ ὑπομένοντες τὸν θεὸν ἀλλάξουσιν ἰσχύν πτεροφυήσουσιν ὡς ἀετοί δραμοῦνται καὶ οὐ κοπιάσουσιν βαδιοῦνται καὶ οὐ πεινάσουσιν

1 [Consolamini, consolamini, popule meus,
dicit Deus vester.

2 Loquimini ad cor Jerusalem,
et advocate eam,
quoniam completa est malitia ejus,
dimissa est iniquitas illius:
suscepit de manu Domini duplicia
pro omnibus peccatis suis.

3 Vox clamantis in deserto:
Parate viam Domini,
rectas facite in solitudine semitas Dei nostri.

4 Omnis vallis exaltabitur,
et omnis mons et collis humiliabitur,
et erunt prava in directa,
et aspera in vias planas:

5 et revelabitur gloria Domini,
et videbit omnis caro pariter
quod os Domini locutum est.

6 Vox dicentis: Clama.
Et dixi: Quid clamabo?
Omnis caro fœnum,
et omnis gloria ejus quasi flos agri.

7 Exsiccatum est fœnum, et cecidit flos,
quia spiritus Domini sufflavit in eo.
Vere fœnum est populus:

8 exsiccatum est fœnum, et cecidit flos;
verbum autem Domini nostri manet in æternum.

9 Super montem excelsum ascende,
tu qui evangelizas Sion;
exalta in fortitudine vocem tuam,
qui evangelizas Jerusalem:
exalta, noli timere.
Dic civitatibus Juda:
Ecce Deus vester:

10 ecce Dominus Deus in fortitudine veniet,
et brachium ejus dominabitur:
ecce merces ejus cum eo,
et opus illius coram illo.

11 Sicut pastor gregem suum pascet,
in brachio suo congregabit agnos,
et in sinu suo levabit;
fœtas ipse portabit.

12 Quis mensus est pugillo aquas,
et cælos palmo ponderavit?
quis appendit tribus digitis molem terræ,
et liberavit in pondere montes,
et colles in statera?

13 Quis adjuvit spiritum Domini?
aut quis consiliarius ejus fuit, et ostendit illi?

14 cum quo iniit consilium, et instruxit eum,
et docuit eum semitam justitiæ,
et erudivit eum scientiam,
et viam prudentiæ ostendit illi?

15 Ecce gentes quasi stilla situlæ,
et quasi momentum stateræ reputatæ sunt;
ecce insulæ quasi pulvis exiguus.

16 Et Libanus non sufficiet ad succendendum,
et animalia ejus non sufficient ad holocaustum.

17 Omnes gentes quasi non sint, sic sunt coram eo,
et quasi nihilum et inane reputatæ sunt ei.]

18 [Cui ergo similem fecisti Deum?
aut quam imaginem ponetis ei?

19 Numquid sculptile conflavit faber?
aut aurifex auro figuravit illud,
et laminis argenteis argentarius?

20 Forte lignum et imputribile elegit;
artifex sapiens quærit
quomodo statuat simulacrum, quod non moveatur.

21 Numquid non scitis? numquid non audistis?
numquid non annuntiatum est vobis ab initio?
numquid non intellexistis fundamenta terræ?

22 Qui sedet super gyrum terræ,
et habitatores ejus sunt quasi locustæ;
qui extendit velut nihilum cælos,
et expandit eos sicut tabernaculum ad inhabitandum;

23 qui dat secretorum scrutatores quasi non sint,
judices terræ velut inane fecit.

24 Et quidem neque plantatus, neque satus,
neque radicatus in terra truncus eorum;
repente flavit in eos, et aruerunt,
et turbo quasi stipulam auferet eos.

25 Et cui assimilastis me, et adæquastis?
dicit Sanctus.

26 Levate in excelsum oculos vestros, et videte
quis creavit hæc:
qui educit in numero militiam eorum,
et omnes ex nomine vocat;
præ multitudine fortitudinis et roboris, virtutisque ejus,
neque unum reliquum fuit.

27 Quare dicis, Jacob,
et loqueris, Israël:
Abscondita est via mea a Domino,
et a Deo meo judicium meum transivit?

28 Numquid nescis, aut non audisti?
Deus sempiternus Dominus,
qui creavit terminos terræ:
non deficiet, neque laborabit,
nec est investigatio sapientiæ ejus.

29 Qui dat lasso virtutem,
et his qui non sunt, fortitudinem et robur multiplicat.

30 Deficient pueri, et laborabunt,
et juvenes in infirmitate cadent;

31 qui autem sperant in Domino mutabunt fortitudinem,
assument pennas sicut aquilæ:
current et non laborabunt,
ambulabunt et non deficient.]
