Isaías 41 King James Bible (1769) | 29 versitos |
1 Keep silence before me, O islands; and let the people renew their strength: let them come near; then let them speak: let us come near together to judgment.
2 Who raised up the righteous man from the east, called him to his foot, gave the nations before him, and made him rule over kings? he gave them as the dust to his sword, and as driven stubble to his bow.
3 He pursued them, and passed safely; even by the way that he had not gone with his feet.
4 Who hath wrought and done it, calling the generations from the beginning? I the LORD, the first, and with the last; I am he.
5 The isles saw it, and feared; the ends of the earth were afraid, drew near, and came.
6 They helped every one his neighbour; and every one said to his brother, Be of good courage.
7 So the carpenter encouraged the goldsmith, and he that smootheth with the hammer him that smote the anvil, saying, It is ready for the sodering: and he fastened it with nails, that it should not be moved.
8 But thou, Israel, art my servant, Jacob whom I have chosen, the seed of Abraham my friend.
9 Thou whom I have taken from the ends of the earth, and called thee from the chief men thereof, and said unto thee, Thou art my servant; I have chosen thee, and not cast thee away.
10 Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.
11 Behold, all they that were incensed against thee shall be ashamed and confounded: they shall be as nothing; and they that strive with thee shall perish.
12 Thou shalt seek them, and shalt not find them, even them that contended with thee: they that war against thee shall be as nothing, and as a thing of nought.
13 For I the LORD thy God will hold thy right hand, saying unto thee, Fear not; I will help thee.
14 Fear not, thou worm Jacob, and ye men of Israel; I will help thee, saith the LORD, and thy redeemer, the Holy One of Israel.
15 Behold, I will make thee a new sharp threshing instrument having teeth: thou shalt thresh the mountains, and beat them small, and shalt make the hills as chaff.
16 Thou shalt fan them, and the wind shall carry them away, and the whirlwind shall scatter them: and thou shalt rejoice in the LORD, and shalt glory in the Holy One of Israel.
17 When the poor and needy seek water, and there is none, and their tongue faileth for thirst, I the LORD will hear them, I the God of Israel will not forsake them.
18 I will open rivers in high places, and fountains in the midst of the valleys: I will make the wilderness a pool of water, and the dry land springs of water.
19 I will plant in the wilderness the cedar, the shittah tree, and the myrtle, and the oil tree; I will set in the desert the fir tree, and the pine, and the box tree together:
20 That they may see, and know, and consider, and understand together, that the hand of the LORD hath done this, and the Holy One of Israel hath created it.
21 Produce your cause, saith the LORD; bring forth your strong reasons, saith the King of Jacob.
22 Let them bring them forth, and shew us what shall happen: let them shew the former things, what they be, that we may consider them, and know the latter end of them; or declare us things for to come.
23 Shew the things that are to come hereafter, that we may know that ye are gods: yea, do good, or do evil, that we may be dismayed, and behold it together.
24 Behold, ye are of nothing, and your work of nought: an abomination is he that chooseth you.
25 I have raised up one from the north, and he shall come: from the rising of the sun shall he call upon my name: and he shall come upon princes as upon morter, and as the potter treadeth clay.
26 Who hath declared from the beginning, that we may know? and beforetime, that we may say, He is righteous? yea, there is none that sheweth, yea, there is none that declareth, yea, there is none that heareth your words.
27 The first shall say to Zion, Behold, behold them: and I will give to Jerusalem one that bringeth good tidings.
28 For I beheld, and there was no man; even among them, and there was no counseller, that, when I asked of them, could answer a word.
29 Behold, they are all vanity; their works are nothing: their molten images are wind and confusion.

Chapter XLI.

1 God expostulateth with his people, about his mercies to the Church, 10 about his promises, 21 and about the vanity of Idoles.

[Gods power, and prouidence for his.]

1 Keepe silence before me, O ylands, and let the people renew their strength: let them come neere, then let them speake: let vs come neere together to iudgement.
2 Who raised vp [ Hebrew: righteousnesse.] the righteous man from the East, called him to his foote, gaue the nations before him, and made him rule ouer kings? hee gaue them as the dust to his sword, and as driuen stuble to his bow.
3 He pursued them, and passed [ Hebrew: in peace.] safely; euen by the way, that hee had not gone with his feete.
4 Who hath wrought and done it, calling the generations from the beginning? I the Lord the [ Isa_43:10 ; Isaiah 44.6; Isaiah 48.12; Rev_1:17 ; Revelation 22.13.] first, and with the last, I am he.
5 The yles saw it and feared, the ends of the earth were afraid, drew neere, and came.
6 They helped euery one his neighbour, and euery one sayd to his brother, [ Hebrew: be strong.] Be of good courage.
7 So the carpenter encouraged the [ Or founder.] goldsmith, and he that smootheth with the hammer [ Or, the smiting.] him that smote the anuill, [ Or, saying of the soder, it is good.] saying; It is ready for the sodering: and he fastened it with nayles that it should not be moued.
8 But thou Israel, art my seruant, Iacob whom I haue [ Deu_7:6 ; Deu_10:15 ; Deu_14:2 ; Psa_135:4 ; Isa_43:1 ; Isaiah 44.1.] chosen, the seede of Abraham my [ 2Ch_20:7 ; Jam_2:23 .] friend.
9 Thou whom I haue taken from the ends of the earth, and called thee from the chiefe men thereof, and sayd vnto thee; Thou art my seruant, I haue chosen thee, and not cast thee away.
10 Feare thou not, for I am with thee: be not dismaied, for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee, yea I will helpe thee, yea I will vphold thee with the right hand of my righteousnesse.
11 Behold, all they that were incensed against thee, shalbe [ Exo_23:22 ; Isa_60:12 ; Zec_12:3 .] ashamed and confounded: they shall be as nothing, and [ Hebrew: the men of thy strife.] they that striue with thee, shall perish.
12 Thou shalt seeke them, and shalt not find them, euen [ Hebrew: the men of thy contention.] them that contended with thee: [ Hebrew: the men of thy warre.] they that warre against thee shalbe as nothing, and as a thing of nought.
13 For I the Lord thy God will hold thy right hand, saying vnto thee,

 [What idoles are.]

Feare not, I will helpe thee.
14 Feare not, thou worme Iacob, and ye [ Or, few men.] men of Israel: I will helpe thee, saith the Lord, and thy Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel.
15 Behold, I will make thee a new sharpe threshing instrument hauing [ Hebrew: mouthes.] teeth: thou shalt thresh the mountaines, and beate them small, and shalt make the hilles as chaffe.
16 Thou shalt fanne them, and the winde shall carie them away, and the whirlewinde shall scatter them: and thou shalt reioyce in the Lord, and shalt glory in the Holy One of Israel.
17 When the poore and needie seeke water and there is none, and their tongue faileth for thirst, I the Lord will heare them, I the God of Israel will not forsake them.
18 I will open [ Isa_35:7 ; Isa_44:3 .] riuers in hie places, and fountaines in the midst of the valleys: I will make the [ Psa_107:35 .] wildernesse a poole of water, and the dry land springs of water.
19 I will plant in the wildernes the Cedar, the Shittah tree, and the Myrtle, and the Oyle tree: I will set in the desert the Firre tree, and the Pine and the Boxe tree together:
20 That they may see, and knowe, and consider, and vnderstand together, that the hand of the Lord hath done this, and the Holy One of Israel hath created it.
21 [ Hebrew: cause to come neere.] Produce your cause, saith the Lord, bring foorth your strong reasons, saith the King of Iacob.
22 Let them bring them foorth, and shew vs what shall happen: let them shew the former things what they bee, that we may [ Hebrew: set our heart vpon them.] consider them, and know the latter end of them, or declare vs things for to come.
23 Shewe the things that are to come hereafter, that wee may knowe that ye are gods: yea doe good or doe euill, that we may be dismayed, and behold it together.
24 Behold, ye are [ Or, worse then nothing.] of nothing, and your worke [ Or, worse then of a viper.] of nought: an abomination is he that chooseth you.
25 I haue raised vp one from the North, and he shall come: from the rising of the Sunne shall he call vpon my name, and he shall come vpon princes as vpon morter, and as the potter treadeth clay.
26 Who hath declared from the beginning,

 [Christs Office.]

that we may know? and before time, that we may say, He is righteous? yea there is none that sheweth, yea there is none that declareth, yea there is none that heareth your words.
27 The first shall say to Zion, Behold, behold them, and I will giue to Ierusalem one that bringeth good tidings.
28 For I behelde, and there was no man, euen amongst them, and there was no counseller, that when I asked of them, could [ Hebrew: returne.] answere a word.
29 Behold, they are all vanitie, their works are nothing: their moulten images are winde and confusion.
