Hear these [words], you house of Jacob, who are called by the name of Israel, and have come forth out of Juda, who swear by the name of the Lord God of Israel, making mention [of it, but] not with truth, nor with righteousness;

2 for from city [the] holiness to call: call by and upon God Israel to support LORD Hosts name his

maintaining also the name of the holy city, and staying themselves on the God of Israel: the Lord of hosts is his name. The former things I have already declared;

3 [the] first: previous from the past to tell and from lip my to come out: speak and to hear: proclaim them suddenly to make: do and to come (in): come

and they that have proceeded out of my mouth, and it became well known; I wrought suddenly, and [the events] came to pass.

4 from to know I for severe you(m. s.) and sinew iron neck your and forehead your bronze

I know that you are stubborn, and your neck is an iron sinew, and your forehead brazen.

5 and to tell to/for you from the past in/on/with before to come (in): come to hear: proclaim you lest to say idol my to make: do them and idol my and drink offering my to command them

And I told you of old what [should be] before it came upon you; I made it known to you, lest you should say, [My] idols have done [it] for me; and should say, [My] graven and molten images have commanded me.

6 to hear: hear to see all her and you(m. p.) not to tell to hear: proclaim you new from now and to watch and not to know them

You have heard all this, but you have not known: yet I have made known to you the new things from henceforth, which are coming to pass, and you said not,

7 now to create and not from the past and to/for face: before day and not to hear: hear them lest to say behold to know them

Now they come to pass, and not formerly: and you heard not of them in former days: say not you, Yes, I know them.

8 also not to hear: hear also not to know also from the past not to open ear your for to know to act treacherously to act treacherously and to transgress from belly: womb to call: call by to/for you

You have neither known, nor understood, neither from the beginning have I opened your ears: for I knew that you would surely deal treacherously, and would be called a transgressor even from the womb.

9 because name my to prolong face: anger my and praise my to restrain to/for you to/for lest to cut: eliminate you

For mine own sake will I show you my wrath, and will bring before you my glorious acts, that I may not utterly destroy you.

10 behold to refine you and not in/on/with silver: money to choose you in/on/with furnace affliction

Behold, I have sold you, [but] not for silver; but I have rescued you from the furnace of affliction.

11 because me because me to make: do for how? to profane/begin: profane and glory my to/for another not to give: give

For mine own sake I will do [this] for you, because my name is profaned; and I will not give my glory to another.

Hear me, O Jacob, and Israel whom I call; I am the first, and I endure for ever.

13 also hand: power my to found land: country/planet and right my to extend heaven to call: call to I to(wards) them to stand: stand together

My hand also has founded the earth, and my right hand has fixed the sky: I will call them, and they shall stand together.

14 to gather all your and to hear: hear who? in/on/with them to tell [obj] these LORD to love: lover him to make: do pleasure his in/on/with Babylon and arm his Chaldea

And all shall be gathered, and shall hear: who has told them these things? Out of love to you I have fulfilled your desire on Babylon, to abolish the seed of the Chaldeans.

15 I I to speak: speak also to call: call to him to come (in): bring him and to prosper way: journey his

I have spoken, I have called, I have brought him, and made his way prosperous.

16 to present: come to(wards) me to hear: hear this not from head: first in/on/with secrecy to speak: speak from time to be she there I and now Lord YHWH/God to send: depart me and spirit his

Draw near to me, and hear you these words; I have not spoken in secret from the beginning: when it took place, there was I, and now the Lord, [even] the Lord, and his Spirit, has sent me.

17 thus to say LORD to redeem: redeem your holy Israel I LORD God your to learn: teach you to/for to gain to tread you in/on/with way: conduct to go: went

Thus says the Lord that delivered you, the Holy One of Israel; I am your God, I have shown you how you should find the way wherein you should walk.

18 if to listen to/for commandment my and to be like/as river peace your and righteousness your like/as heap: wave [the] sea

And if you had listened to my commandments, [then] would your peace have been like a river, and your righteousness as a wave of the sea.

19 and to be like/as sand seed: children your and offspring belly your like/as grain his not to cut: eliminate and not to destroy name his from to/for face: before my

Your seed also would have been as the sand, and the offspring of your belly as the dust of the ground: neither now shall you by any means be utterly destroyed, neither shall your name perish before me.

Go forth of Babylon, you that flee from the Chaldeans: utter aloud a voice of joy, and let this be made known, proclaim it to the end of the earth; say you, The Lord has delivered his servant Jacob.

And if they shall thirst, he shall lead them through the desert; he shall bring forth water to them out of the rock: the rock shall be cloven, and the water shall flow forth, and my people shall drink.

22 nothing peace to say LORD to/for wicked

There is no joy, says the Lord, to the ungodly.
