Isaiah 44

KJV

1  Yet now⁶²⁵⁸ hear,⁸⁰⁸⁵ O Jacob³²⁹⁰ my servant;⁵⁶⁵⁰ and Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ whom I have chosen:⁹⁷⁷

2  Thus³⁵⁴¹ saith⁵⁵⁹ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ that made⁶²¹³ thee, and formed³³³⁵ thee from the womb,^{4480 990} which will help⁵⁸²⁶ thee; Fear³³⁷² not,⁴⁰⁸ O Jacob,³²⁹⁰ my servant;⁵⁶⁵⁰ and thou, Jesurun,³⁴⁸⁴ whom I have chosen.⁹⁷⁷

3  For³⁵⁸⁸ I will pour³³³² water⁴³²⁵ upon⁵⁹²¹ him that is thirsty,⁶⁷⁷¹ and floods⁵¹⁴⁰ upon⁵⁹²¹ the dry ground:³⁰⁰⁴ I will pour³³³² my spirit⁷³⁰⁷ upon⁵⁹²¹ thy seed,²²³³ and my blessing¹²⁹³ upon⁵⁹²¹ thine offspring:⁶⁶³¹

4  And they shall spring up⁶⁷⁷⁹ as among⁹⁹⁶ the grass,²⁶⁸² as willows⁶¹⁵⁵ by⁵⁹²¹ the water⁴³²⁵ courses.²⁹⁸⁸

5  One²⁰⁸⁸ shall say,⁵⁵⁹ I⁵⁸⁹ am the LORD's;³⁰⁶⁸ and another²⁰⁸⁸ shall call⁷¹²¹ himself by the name⁸⁰³⁴ of Jacob;³²⁹⁰ and another²⁰⁸⁸ shall subscribe³⁷⁸⁹ with his hand³⁰²⁷ unto the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ and surname³⁶⁵⁵ himself by the name⁸⁰³⁴ of Israel.³⁴⁷⁸

6  Thus³⁵⁴¹ saith⁵⁵⁹ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ the King⁴⁴²⁸ of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ and his redeemer¹³⁵⁰ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ of hosts;⁶⁶³⁵ I⁵⁸⁹ am the first,⁷²²³ and I⁵⁸⁹ am the last;³¹⁴ and beside^{4480 1107} me there is no³⁶⁹ God.⁴³⁰

7  And who,⁴³¹⁰ as I, shall call,⁷¹²¹ and shall declare⁵⁰⁴⁶ it, and set it in order⁶¹⁸⁶ for me, since I appointed^{4480 7760} the ancient⁵⁷⁶⁹ people?⁵⁹⁷¹ and the things that are coming,⁸⁵⁷ and shall come,⁹³⁵ let them show⁵⁰⁴⁶ unto them.

8  Fear⁶³⁴² ye not,⁴⁰⁸ neither⁴⁰⁸ be afraid:⁷²⁹⁷ have not³⁸⁰⁸ I told⁸⁰⁸⁵ thee from that time,^{4480 227} and have declared⁵⁰⁴⁶ it? ye⁸⁵⁹ are even my witnesses.⁵⁷⁰⁷ Is there³⁴²⁶ a God⁴³³ beside^{4480 1107} me? yea, there is no³⁶⁹ God;⁶⁶⁹⁷ I know³⁰⁴⁵ not¹⁰⁷⁷ any.

9  They that make³³³⁵ a graven image⁶⁴⁵⁹ are all³⁶⁰⁵ of them vanity;⁸⁴¹⁴ and their delectable things²⁵³⁰ shall not¹⁰⁷⁷ profit;³²⁷⁶ and they¹⁹⁹² are their own witnesses;⁵⁷⁰⁷ they see⁷²⁰⁰ not,¹⁰⁷⁷ nor¹⁰⁷⁷ know;³⁰⁴⁵ that⁴⁶¹⁶ they may be ashamed.⁹⁵⁴

10  Who⁴³¹⁰ hath formed³³³⁵ a god,⁴¹⁰ or molten⁵²⁵⁸ a graven image⁶⁴⁵⁹ that is profitable³²⁷⁶ for nothing?¹¹¹⁵

11  Behold,²⁰⁰⁵ all³⁶⁰⁵ his fellows²²⁷⁰ shall be ashamed:⁹⁵⁴ and the workmen,²⁷⁹⁶ they¹⁹⁹² are of men:^{4480 120} let them all³⁶⁰⁵ be gathered together,⁶⁹⁰⁸ let them stand up;⁵⁹⁷⁵ yet they shall fear,⁶³⁴² and they shall be ashamed⁹⁵⁴ together.³¹⁶²

12  The blacksmith^{2796 1270} with the tongs⁴⁶²¹ both worketh⁶⁴⁶⁶ in the coals,⁶³⁵² and fashioneth³³³⁵ it with hammers,⁴⁷¹⁷ and worketh⁶⁴⁶⁶ it with the strength³⁵⁸¹ of his arms:²²²⁰ yea,¹⁵⁷¹ he is hungry,⁷⁴⁵⁶ and his strength³⁵⁸¹ faileth:³⁶⁹ he drinketh⁸³⁵⁴ no³⁸⁰⁸ water,⁴³²⁵ and is faint.³²⁸⁶

13  The carpenter^{2796 6086} stretcheth out⁵¹⁸⁶ his rule;⁶⁹⁵⁷ he marketh it out⁸³⁸⁸ with a line;⁸²⁷⁹ he fitteth⁶²¹³ it with planes,⁴⁷⁴¹ and he marketh it out⁸³⁸⁸ with the compass,⁴²³⁰ and maketh⁶²¹³ it after the figure⁸⁴⁰³ of a man,³⁷⁶ according to the beauty⁸⁵⁹⁷ of a man;¹²⁰ that it may remain³⁴²⁷ in the house.¹⁰⁰⁴

14  He heweth him down³⁷⁷² cedars,⁷³⁰ and taketh³⁹⁴⁷ the cypress⁸⁶⁴⁵ and the oak,⁴³⁷ which he strengtheneth⁵⁵³ for himself among the trees⁶⁰⁸⁶ of the forest:³²⁹³ he planteth⁵¹⁹³ an ash,⁷⁶⁶ and the rain¹⁶⁵³ doth nourish¹⁴³¹ it.

15  Then shall it be¹⁹⁶¹ for a man¹²⁰ to burn:¹¹⁹⁷ for he will take³⁹⁴⁷ thereof,⁴⁴⁸⁰ and warm²⁵⁵² himself; yea,⁶³⁷ he kindleth⁵⁴⁰⁰ it, and baketh⁶⁴⁴ bread;³⁸⁹⁹ yea,⁶³⁷ he maketh⁶⁴⁶⁶ a god,⁴¹⁰ and worshipeth⁷⁸¹² it; he maketh⁶²¹³ it a graven image,⁶⁴⁵⁹ and falleth down⁵⁴⁵⁶ thereto.

16  He burneth⁸³¹³ part²⁶⁷⁷ thereof in¹¹¹⁹ the fire;⁷⁸⁴ with⁵⁹²¹ part²⁶⁷⁷ thereof he eateth³⁹⁸ flesh;¹³²⁰ he roasteth⁶⁷⁴⁰ roast,⁶⁷⁴⁸ and is satisfied:⁷⁶⁴⁶ yea,⁶³⁷ he warmeth²⁵⁵² himself, and saith,⁵⁵⁹ Aha,¹⁸⁸⁹ I am warm,²⁵⁵² I have seen⁷²⁰⁰ the fire:²¹⁷

17  And the residue⁷⁶¹¹ thereof he maketh⁶²¹³ a god,⁴¹⁰ even his graven image:⁶⁴⁵⁹ he falleth down⁵⁴⁵⁶ unto it, and worshipeth⁷⁸¹² it, and prayeth⁶⁴¹⁹ unto⁴¹³ it, and saith,⁵⁵⁹ Deliver⁵³³⁷ me; for³⁵⁸⁸ thou⁸⁵⁹ art my god.⁴¹⁰

18  They have not³⁸⁰⁸ known³⁰⁴⁵ nor³⁸⁰⁸ understood:⁹⁹⁵ for³⁵⁸⁸ he hath shut²⁹⁰² their eyes,⁵⁸⁶⁹ that they cannot see;^{4480 7200} and their hearts,³⁸²⁰ that they cannot understand.^{4480 7919}

19  And none³⁸⁰⁸ considereth⁷⁷²⁵ in⁴¹³ his heart,³⁸²⁰ neither³⁸⁰⁸ is there knowledge¹⁸⁴⁷ nor³⁸⁰⁸ understanding⁸³⁹⁴ to say,⁵⁵⁹ I have burned⁸³¹³ part²⁶⁷⁷ of it in¹¹¹⁹ the fire;⁷⁸⁴ yea,⁶³⁷ also I have baked⁶⁴⁴ bread³⁸⁹⁹ upon⁵⁹²¹ the coals¹⁵¹³ thereof; I have roasted⁶⁷⁴⁰ flesh,¹³²⁰ and eaten³⁹⁸ it: and shall I make⁶²¹³ the residue³⁴⁹⁹ thereof an abomination?⁸⁴⁴¹ shall I fall down⁵⁴⁵⁶ to the stock⁹⁴⁴ of a tree?⁶⁰⁸⁶

20  He feedeth⁷⁴⁶² on ashes:⁶⁶⁵ a deceived²⁰⁴⁸ heart³⁸²⁰ hath turned him aside,⁵¹⁸⁶ that he cannot³⁸⁰⁸ deliver^{5337 853} his soul,⁵³¹⁵ nor³⁸⁰⁸ say,⁵⁵⁹ Is there not³⁸⁰⁸ a lie⁸²⁶⁷ in my right hand?³²²⁵

21  Remember²¹⁴² these,⁴²⁸ O Jacob³²⁹⁰ and Israel;³⁴⁷⁸ for³⁵⁸⁸ thou⁸⁵⁹ art my servant:⁵⁶⁵⁰ I have formed³³³⁵ thee; thou⁸⁵⁹ art my servant:⁵⁶⁵⁰ O Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ thou shalt not³⁸⁰⁸ be forgotten⁵³⁸² of me.

22  I have blotted out,⁴²²⁹ as a thick cloud,⁵⁶⁴⁵ thy transgressions,⁶⁵⁸⁸ and, as a cloud,⁶⁰⁵¹ thy sins:²⁴⁰³ return⁷⁷²⁵ unto⁴¹³ me; for³⁵⁸⁸ I have redeemed¹³⁵⁰ thee.

23  Sing,⁷⁴⁴² O ye heavens;⁸⁰⁶⁴ for³⁵⁸⁸ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ hath done⁶²¹³ it: shout,⁷³²¹ ye lower parts⁸⁴⁸² of the earth:⁷⁷⁶ break forth⁶⁴⁷⁶ into singing,⁷⁴⁴⁰ ye mountains,²⁰²² O forest,³²⁹³ and every³⁶⁰⁵ tree⁶⁰⁸⁶ therein: for³⁵⁸⁸ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ hath redeemed¹³⁵⁰ Jacob,³²⁹⁰ and glorified himself⁶²⁸⁶ in Israel.³⁴⁷⁸

24  Thus³⁵⁴¹ saith⁵⁵⁹ the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ thy redeemer,¹³⁵⁰ and he that formed³³³⁵ thee from the womb,^{4480 990} I⁵⁹⁵ am the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ that maketh⁶²¹³ all³⁶⁰⁵ things; that stretcheth forth⁵¹⁸⁶ the heavens⁸⁰⁶⁴ alone;⁹⁰⁵ that spreadeth abroad⁷⁵⁵⁴ the earth⁷⁷⁶ by⁸⁵⁴ myself;

25  That frustrateth⁶⁵⁶⁵ the tokens²²⁶ of the liars,⁹⁰⁷ and maketh diviners mad;^{1984 7080} that turneth⁷⁷²⁵ wise²⁴⁵⁰ men backward,²⁶⁸ and maketh their knowledge foolish;^{5528 1847}

26  That confirmeth⁶⁹⁶⁵ the word¹⁶⁹⁷ of his servant,⁵⁶⁵⁰ and performeth⁷⁹⁹⁹ the counsel⁶⁰⁹⁸ of his messengers;⁴³⁹⁷ that saith⁵⁵⁹ to Jerusalem,³³⁸⁹ Thou shalt be inhabited;³⁴²⁷ and to the cities⁵⁸⁹² of Judah,³⁰⁶³ Ye shall be built,¹¹²⁹ and I will raise up⁶⁹⁶⁵ the decayed places²⁷²³ thereof:

27  That saith⁵⁵⁹ to the deep,⁶⁶⁸³ Be dry,²⁷¹⁷ and I will dry up³⁰⁰¹ thy rivers:⁵¹⁰⁴

28  That saith⁵⁵⁹ of Cyrus,³⁵⁶⁶ He is my shepherd,⁷⁴⁶² and shall perform⁷⁹⁹⁹ all³⁶⁰⁵ my pleasure:²⁶⁵⁶ even saying⁵⁵⁹ to Jerusalem,³³⁸⁹ Thou shalt be built;¹¹²⁹ and to the temple,¹⁹⁶⁴ Thy foundation shall be laid.³²⁴⁵

1 νῦν δὲ ἄκουσον παῖς μου Ιακωβ καὶ Ισραηλ ὃν ἐξελεξάμην

2 οὕτως λέγει κύριος ὁ θεὸς ὁ ποιήσας σε καὶ ὁ πλάσας σε ἐκ κοιλίας ἔτι βοηθηθήσῃ μὴ φοβοῦ παῖς μου Ιακωβ καὶ ὁ ἠγαπημένος Ισραηλ ὃν ἐξελεξάμην

3 ὅτι ἐγὼ δώσω ὕδωρ ἐν δίψει τοῖς πορευομένοις ἐν ἀνύδρῳ ἐπιθήσω τὸ πνεῦμά μου ἐπὶ τὸ σπέρμα σου καὶ τὰς εὐλογίας μου ἐπὶ τὰ τέκνα σου

4 καὶ ἀνατελοῦσιν ὡσεὶ χόρτος ἀνὰ μέσον ὕδατος καὶ ὡς ἰτέα ἐπὶ παραρρέον ὕδωρ

5 οὗτος ἐρεῖ τοῦ θεοῦ εἰμι καὶ οὗτος βοήσεται ἐπὶ τῷ ὀνόματι Ιακωβ καὶ ἕτερος ἐπιγράψει τοῦ θεοῦ εἰμι ἐπὶ τῷ ὀνόματι Ισραηλ

6 οὕτως λέγει ὁ θεὸς ὁ βασιλεὺς τοῦ Ισραηλ ὁ ῥυσάμενος αὐτὸν θεὸς σαβαωθ ἐγὼ πρῶτος καὶ ἐγὼ μετὰ ταῦτα πλὴν ἐμοῦ οὐκ ἔστιν θεός

7 τίς ὥσπερ ἐγώ στήτω καλεσάτω καὶ ἑτοιμασάτω μοι ἀφ᾽ οὗ ἐποίησα ἄνθρωπον εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα καὶ τὰ ἐπερχόμενα πρὸ τοῦ ἐλθεῖν ἀναγγειλάτωσαν ὑμῖν

8 μὴ παρακαλύπτεσθε οὐκ ἀπ᾽ ἀρχῆς ἠνωτίσασθε καὶ ἀπήγγειλα ὑμῖν μάρτυρες ὑμεῖς ἐστε εἰ ἔστιν θεὸς πλὴν ἐμοῦ καὶ οὐκ ἦσαν τότε

9 οἱ πλάσσοντες καὶ γλύφοντες πάντες μάταιοι οἱ ποιοῦντες τὰ καταθύμια αὐτῶν ἃ οὐκ ὠφελήσει αὐτούς ἀλλὰ αἰσχυνθήσονται

10 πάντες οἱ πλάσσοντες θεὸν καὶ γλύφοντες ἀνωφελῆ

11 καὶ πάντες ὅθεν ἐγένοντο ἐξηράνθησαν καὶ κωφοὶ ἀπὸ ἀνθρώπων συναχθήτωσαν πάντες καὶ στήτωσαν ἅμα ἐντραπήτωσαν καὶ αἰσχυνθήτωσαν ἅμα

12 ὅτι ὤξυνεν τέκτων σίδηρον σκεπάρνῳ εἰργάσατο αὐτὸ καὶ ἐν τερέτρῳ ἔτρησεν αὐτό εἰργάσατο αὐτὸ ἐν τῷ βραχίονι τῆς ἰσχύος αὐτοῦ καὶ πεινάσει καὶ ἀσθενήσει καὶ οὐ μὴ πίῃ ὕδωρ ἐκλεξάμενος

13 τέκτων ξύλον ἔστησεν αὐτὸ ἐν μέτρῳ καὶ ἐν κόλλῃ ἐρρύθμισεν αὐτό ἐποίησεν αὐτὸ ὡς μορφὴν ἀνδρὸς καὶ ὡς ὡραιότητα ἀνθρώπου στῆσαι αὐτὸ ἐν οἴκῳ

14 ὃ ἔκοψεν ξύλον ἐκ τοῦ δρυμοῦ ὃ ἐφύτευσεν κύριος καὶ ὑετὸς ἐμήκυνεν

15 ἵνα ᾖ ἀνθρώποις εἰς καῦσιν καὶ λαβὼν ἀπ᾽ αὐτοῦ ἐθερμάνθη καὶ καύσαντες ἔπεψαν ἄρτους ἐπ᾽ αὐτῶν τὸ δὲ λοιπὸν εἰργάσαντο εἰς θεούς καὶ προσκυνοῦσιν αὐτούς

16 οὗ τὸ ἥμισυ αὐτοῦ κατέκαυσαν ἐν πυρὶ καὶ καύσαντες ἔπεψαν ἄρτους ἐπ᾽ αὐτῶν καὶ ἐπ᾽ αὐτοῦ κρέας ὀπτήσας ἔφαγεν καὶ ἐνεπλήσθη καὶ θερμανθεὶς εἶπεν ἡδύ μοι ὅτι ἐθερμάνθην καὶ εἶδον πῦρ

17 τὸ δὲ λοιπὸν ἐποίησεν εἰς θεὸν γλυπτὸν καὶ προσκυνεῖ αὐτῷ καὶ προσεύχεται λέγων ἐξελοῦ με ὅτι θεός μου εἶ σύ

18 οὐκ ἔγνωσαν φρονῆσαι ὅτι ἀπημαυρώθησαν τοῦ βλέπειν τοῖς ὀφθαλμοῖς αὐτῶν καὶ τοῦ νοῆσαι τῇ καρδίᾳ αὐτῶν

19 καὶ οὐκ ἐλογίσατο τῇ καρδίᾳ αὐτοῦ οὐδὲ ἀνελογίσατο ἐν τῇ ψυχῇ αὐτοῦ οὐδὲ ἔγνω τῇ φρονήσει ὅτι τὸ ἥμισυ αὐτοῦ κατέκαυσεν ἐν πυρὶ καὶ ἔπεψεν ἐπὶ τῶν ἀνθράκων αὐτοῦ ἄρτους καὶ ὀπτήσας κρέας ἔφαγεν καὶ τὸ λοιπὸν αὐτοῦ εἰς βδέλυγμα ἐποίησεν καὶ προσκυνοῦσιν αὐτῷ

20 γνῶτε ὅτι σποδὸς ἡ καρδία αὐτῶν καὶ πλανῶνται καὶ οὐδεὶς δύναται ἐξελέσθαι τὴν ψυχὴν αὐτοῦ ἴδετε οὐκ ἐρεῖτε ὅτι ψεῦδος ἐν τῇ δεξιᾷ μου

21 μνήσθητι ταῦτα Ιακωβ καὶ Ισραηλ ὅτι παῖς μου εἶ σύ ἔπλασά σε παῖδά μου καὶ σύ Ισραηλ μὴ ἐπιλανθάνου μου

22 ἰδοὺ γὰρ ἀπήλειψα ὡς νεφέλην τὰς ἀνομίας σου καὶ ὡς γνόφον τὰς ἁμαρτίας σου ἐπιστράφητι πρός με καὶ λυτρώσομαί σε

23 εὐφράνθητε οὐρανοί ὅτι ἠλέησεν ὁ θεὸς τὸν Ισραηλ σαλπίσατε θεμέλια τῆς γῆς βοήσατε ὄρη εὐφροσύνην οἱ βουνοὶ καὶ πάντα τὰ ξύλα τὰ ἐν αὐτοῖς ὅτι ἐλυτρώσατο ὁ θεὸς τὸν Ιακωβ καὶ Ισραηλ δοξασθήσεται

24 οὕτως λέγει κύριος ὁ λυτρούμενός σε καὶ ὁ πλάσσων σε ἐκ κοιλίας ἐγὼ κύριος ὁ συντελῶν πάντα ἐξέτεινα τὸν οὐρανὸν μόνος καὶ ἐστερέωσα τὴν γῆν τίς ἕτερος

25 διασκεδάσει σημεῖα ἐγγαστριμύθων καὶ μαντείας ἀπὸ καρδίας ἀποστρέφων φρονίμους εἰς τὰ ὀπίσω καὶ τὴν βουλὴν αὐτῶν μωρεύων

26 καὶ ἱστῶν ῥήματα παιδὸς αὐτοῦ καὶ τὴν βουλὴν τῶν ἀγγέλων αὐτοῦ ἀληθεύων ὁ λέγων Ιερουσαλημ κατοικηθήσῃ καὶ ταῖς πόλεσιν τῆς Ιουδαίας οἰκοδομηθήσεσθε καὶ τὰ ἔρημα αὐτῆς ἀνατελεῖ

27 ὁ λέγων τῇ ἀβύσσῳ ἐρημωθήσῃ καὶ τοὺς ποταμούς σου ξηρανῶ

28 ὁ λέγων Κύρῳ φρονεῖν καὶ πάντα τὰ θελήματά μου ποιήσει ὁ λέγων Ιερουσαλημ οἰκοδομηθήσῃ καὶ τὸν οἶκον τὸν ἅγιόν μου θεμελιώσω

1 [Et nunc audi, Jacob, serve meus,
et Israël, quem elegi.

2 Hæc dicit Dominus faciens et formans te,
ab utero auxiliator tuus:
Noli timere, serve meus Jacob,
et rectissime, quem elegi.

3 Effundam enim aquas super sitientem,
et fluenta super aridam;
effundam spiritum meum super semen tuum,
et benedictionem meam super stirpem tuam:

4 et germinabunt inter herbas,
quasi salices juxta præterfluentes aquas.

5 Iste dicet: Domini ego sum;
et ille vocabit in nomine Jacob;
et hic scribet manu sua: Domino,
et in nomine Israël assimilabitur.]

6 [Hæc dicit Dominus, rex Israël,
et redemptor ejus, Dominus exercituum:
Ego primus, et ego novissimus,
et absque me non est deus.

7 Quis similis mei? vocet,
et annuntiet: et ordinem exponat mihi,
ex quo constitui populum antiquum;
ventura et quæ futura sunt annuntient eis.

8 Nolite timere, neque conturbemini:
ex tunc audire te feci,
et annuntiavi; vos estis testes mei.
Numquid est Deus absque me,
et formator quem ego non noverim?

9 Plastæ idoli omnes nihil sunt,
et amantissima eorum non proderunt eis.
Ipsi sunt testes eorum, quia non vident,
neque intelligunt, ut confundantur.

10 Quis formavit deum,
et sculptile conflavit ad nihil utile?

11 Ecce omnes participes ejus confundentur,
fabri enim sunt ex hominibus;
convenient omnes, stabunt
et pavebunt, et confundentur simul.

12 Faber ferrarius lima operatus est,
in prunis et in malleis formavit illud,
et operatus est in brachio fortitudinis suæ;
esuriet et deficiet,
non bibet aquam et lassescet.

13 Artifex lignarius extendit normam,
formavit illud in runcina,
fecit illud in angularibus,
et in circino tornavit illud,
et fecit imaginem viri
quasi speciosum hominem
habitantem in domo;

14 succidit cedros,
tulit ilicem, et quercum,
quæ steterat inter ligna saltus;
plantavit pinum, quam pluvia nutrivit:

15 et facta est hominibus in focum;
sumpsit ex eis, et calefactus est;
et succendit et coxit panes;
de reliquo autem operatus est deum et adoravit;
fecit sculptile, et curvatus est ante illud.

16 Medium ejus combussit igni,
et de medio ejus carnes comedit;
coxit pulmentum, et saturatus est,
et calefactus est, et dixit: Vah!
calefactus sum, vidi focum;

17 reliquum autem ejus deum fecit et sculptile sibi;
curvatur ante illud, et adorat illud,
et obsecrat, dicens:
Libera me, quia deus meus es tu!

18 Nescierunt, neque intellexerunt;
obliti enim sunt ne videant oculi eorum,
et ne intelligant corde suo.

19 Non recogitant in mente sua,
neque cognoscunt, neque sentiunt, ut dicant:
Medietatem ejus combussi igni,
et coxi super carbones ejus panes;
coxi carnes et comedi,
et de reliquo ejus idolum faciam?
ante truncum ligni procidam?

20 Pars ejus cinis est;
cor insipiens adoravit illud,
et non liberabit animam suam:
neque dicet: Forte mendacium est in dextera mea.

21 Memento horum Jacob,
et Israël, quoniam servus meus es tu.
Formavi te; servus meus es tu,
Israël, ne obliviscaris mei.

22 Delevi ut nubem iniquitates tuas,
et quasi nebulam peccata tua:
revertere ad me, quoniam redemi te.

23 Laudate, cæli, quoniam misericordiam fecit Dominus;
jubilate, extrema terræ;
resonate, montes, laudationem,
saltus et omne lignum ejus,
quoniam redemit Dominus Jacob,
et Israël gloriabitur.]

24 [Hæc dicit Dominus, redemptor tuus,
et formator tuus ex utero:
Ego sum Dominus, faciens omnia,
extendens cælos solus,
stabiliens terram, et nullus mecum;

25 irrita faciens signa divinorum,
et ariolos in furorem vertens;
convertens sapientes retrorsum,
et scientiam eorum stultam faciens;

26 suscitans verbum servi sui,
et consilium nuntiorum suorum complens;
qui dico Jerusalem: Habitaberis,
et civitatibus Juda: Ædificabimini,
et deserta ejus suscitabo;

27 qui dico profundo: Desolare,
et flumina tua arefaciam;

28 qui dico Cyro: Pastor meus es,
et omnem voluntatem meam complebis;
qui dico Jerusalem: Ædificaberis,
et templo: Fundaberis.]
