Dual Panel1"Hear<8085> this<384>, O house<1004> of Jacob<3290>, who are named<7121><8034> Israel<3478> And who came<3318> forth<3318> from the loins<4325> of Judah<3063>, Who swear<7650> by the name<8034> of the LORD<3068> And invoke<2142> the God<430> of Israel<3478>, But not in truth<571> nor<3808> in righteousness<6666>.
2"For they call<7121> themselves after<4480> the holy<6944> city<5892> And lean<5564> on the God<430> of Israel<3478>; The LORD<3068> of hosts<6635> is His name<8034>.
3"I declared<5046> the former<7223> things<7223> long<3975> ago<3975> And they went<3318> forth<3318> from My mouth<6310>, and I proclaimed<8085> them. Suddenly<6597> I acted<6213>, and they came<935> to pass<935>.
4"Because<4480> I know<3045> that you are obstinate<7186>, And your neck<6203> is an iron<1270> sinew<1517> And your forehead<4696> bronze<5154>,
5Therefore I declared<5046> them to you long<3975> ago<3975>, Before<2962> they took<935> place<935> I proclaimed<8085> them to you, So that you would not say<559>, 'My idol<6090> has done<6213> them, And my graven<6459> image<6459> and my molten<5262> image<5262> have commanded<6680> them.'
6"You have heard<8085>; look<2372> at all<3605> this. And you, will you not declare<5046> it? I proclaim<8085> to you new<2319> things<2319> from this<6258> time<6258>, Even hidden<5341> things<5341> which you have not known<3045>.
7"They are created<1254> now<6258> and not long<3975> ago<3975>; And before<6440> today<3117> you have not heard<8085> them, So that you will not say<559>, 'Behold<2009>, I knew<3045> them.'
8"You have not heard<8085>, you have not known<3045>. Even<1571> from long<3975> ago<3975> your ear<241> has not been open<6605>, Because<3588> I knew<3045> that you would deal<898> very<898> treacherously<898>; And you have been called<7121> a rebel<6586> from birth<990>.
9"For the sake<4616> of My name<8034> I delay<748> My wrath<639>, And for My praise<8416> I restrain<2413> it for you, In order not to cut<3772> you off<3772>.
10"Behold<2009>, I have refined<6884> you, but not as silver<3701>; I have tested<977> you in the furnace<3564> of affliction<6040>.
11"For My own sake<4616>, for My own sake<4616>, I will act<6213>; For how<349> can My name be profaned<2490>? And My glory<3519> I will not give<5414> to another<312>.
12"Listen<8085> to Me, O Jacob<3290>, even Israel<3478> whom I called<7121>; I am He, I am the first<7223>, I am also<637> the last<314>.
13"Surely<637> My hand<3027> founded<3245> the earth<776>, And My right<3225> hand<3225> spread<2946> out the heavens<8064>; When I call<7121> to them, they stand<5975> together<3164>.
14"Assemble<6908>, all<3605> of you, and listen<8085>! Who<4310> among them has declared<5046> these<428> things<428>? The LORD<3068> loves<157> him; he will carry<6213> out His good<2656> pleasure<2656> on Babylon<894>, And His arm<2220> will be against the Chaldeans<3778>.
15"I, even I, have spoken<1696>; indeed<637> I have called<7121> him, I have brought<935> him, and He will make<6743> his ways<1870> successful<6743>.
16"Come<7126> near<7126> to Me, listen<8085> to this<384>: From the first<7218> I have not spoken<1696> in secret<5643>, From the time<6256> it took<1961> place<1961>, I was there<8033>. And now<6258> the Lord<136> GOD<3068> has sent<7971> Me, and His Spirit<7307>."
17Thus<3541> says<559> the LORD<3068>, your Redeemer<1350>, the Holy<6918> One<6918> of Israel<3478>, "I am the LORD<3068> your God<430>, who teaches<3925> you to profit<3276>, Who leads<1869> you in the way<1870> you should go<1980>.
18"If<3863> only<3863> you had paid<7181> attention<7181> to My commandments<4687>! Then your well-being<7965> would have been<1961> like a river<5104>, And your righteousness<6666> like the waves<1530> of the sea<3220>.
19"Your descendants<2233> would have been<1961> like the sand<2344>, And your offspring<6631><4578> like its grains<4579>; Their name<8034> would never<3808> be cut<3772> off<3772> or destroyed<8045> from My presence<6440>."
20Go<3318> forth<3318> from Babylon<894>! Flee<1272> from the Chaldeans<3778>! Declare<5046> with the sound<6963> of joyful<7440> shouting<7440>, proclaim<8085> this<384>, Send<3318> it out to the end<7097> of the earth<776>; Say<559>, "The LORD<3068> has redeemed<1350> His servant<5650> Jacob<3290>."
21They did not thirst<6770> when He led<1980> them through the deserts<2723>. He made the water<4325> flow<5140> out of the rock<6697> for them; He split<1234> the rock<6697> and the water<4325> gushed<2100> forth.
22"There<369> is no<369> peace<7965> for the wicked<7563>," says<559> the LORD<3068>.
