1 “aListen to me, you who bpursue righteousness,
Who seek the Lord:
Look to the crock from which you were hewn
And to the 1quarry from which you were dug.
2 “Look to aAbraham your father
And to Sarah who gave birth to you in pain;
When he bwas but one I called him,
Then I blessed him and multiplied him.”
3 Indeed, athe Lord will comfort Zion;
He will comfort all her bwaste places.
And her cwilderness He will make like dEden,
And her desert like the egarden of the Lord;
fJoy and gladness will be found in her,
Thanksgiving and sound of a melody.
4 “aPay attention to Me, O My people,
And give ear to Me, O My 1nation;
For a blaw will go forth from Me,
And I will 2set My cjustice for a dlight of the peoples.
5 “My arighteousness is near, My salvation has gone forth,
And My barms will judge the peoples;
The ccoastlands will wait for Me,
And for My darm they will wait expectantly.
6 “aLift up your eyes to the sky,
Then look to the earth beneath;
For the bsky will vanish like smoke,
And the bearth will wear out like a garment
And its inhabitants will die 1in like manner;
But My csalvation will be forever,
And My righteousness will not 2wane.
7 “aListen to Me, you who know righteousness,
A people in whose bheart is My law;
Do not fear the creproach of man,
Nor be dismayed at their revilings.
8 “For the amoth will eat them like a garment,
And the bgrub will eat them like wool.
But My crighteousness will be forever,
And My salvation to all generations.”
9 aAwake, awake, put on strength, O arm of the Lord;
Awake as in the bdays of old, the generations of long ago.
cWas it not You who cut Rahab in pieces,
Who pierced the ddragon?
10 Was it not You who adried up the sea,
The waters of the great deep;
Who made the depths of the sea a pathway
For the bredeemed to cross over?
11 So the aransomed of the Lord will return
And come with joyful shouting to Zion,
And beverlasting joy will be on their heads.
They will obtain gladness and joy,
And csorrow and sighing will flee away.
12 “I, even I, am He who acomforts you.
Who are you that you are afraid of bman who dies
And of the son of man who is made clike grass,
13 That you have aforgotten the Lord your Maker,
Who bstretched out the heavens
And laid the foundations of the earth,
That you cfear continually all day long because of the fury of the oppressor,
As he makes ready to destroy?
But where is the fury of the doppressor?
14 “The 1aexile will soon be set free, and will not die in the dungeon, bnor will his bread be lacking.
15 “For I am the Lord your God, who astirs up the sea and its waves roar (the Lord of hosts is His name).
16 “I have aput My words in your mouth and have bcovered you with the shadow of My hand, to 1cestablish the heavens, to found the earth, and to say to Zion, ‘You are My people.’ ”
17 aRouse yourself! Rouse yourself! Arise, O Jerusalem,
You who have bdrunk from the Lord’s hand the cup of His anger;
The 1chalice of reeling you have 2drained to the dregs.
18 There is anone to guide her among all the sons she has borne,
Nor is there one to take her by the hand among all the sons she has reared.
19 These two things have befallen you;
Who will mourn for you?
The adevastation and destruction, famine and sword;
How shall I comfort you?
They alie helpless at the head of every street,
Like an bantelope in a net,
Full of the wrath of the Lord,
The crebuke of your God.
21 Therefore, please hear this, you aafflicted,
Who are bdrunk, but not with wine:
22 Thus says your Lord, the Lord, even your God
Who acontends for His people,
“Behold, I have taken out of your hand the bcup of reeling,
The 1chalice of My anger;
You will never drink it again.
23 “I will aput it into the hand of your tormentors,
Who have said to 1you, ‘bLie down that we may walk over you.’
You have even made your back like the ground
And like the street for those who walk over it.”
1 aAwake, awake,
Clothe yourself in your strength, O Zion;
Clothe yourself in your bbeautiful garments,
O Jerusalem, the choly city;
For the uncircumcised and the dunclean
Will no longer come into you.
2 Shake yourself afrom the dust, brise up,
O captive Jerusalem;
cLoose yourself from the chains around your neck,
O captive daughter of Zion.
3 For thus says the Lord, “You were asold for nothing and you will be bredeemed cwithout money.”
4 For thus says the Lord 1God, “My people awent down at the first into Egypt to reside there; then the Assyrian oppressed them without cause.
5 “Now therefore, what do I have here,” declares the Lord, “seeing that My people have been taken away without cause?” Again the Lord declares, “Those who rule over them howl, and My aname is continually blasphemed all day long.
6 “Therefore My people shall aknow My name; therefore in that day I am the one who is speaking, ‘Here I am.’ ”
Are the feet of him who brings agood news,
Who announces 1peace
And brings good news of 2happiness,
Who announces salvation,
And says to Zion, “Your bGod 3reigns!”
8 Listen! Your watchmen lift up their avoices,
They shout joyfully together;
For they will see 1with their own eyes
When the Lord restores Zion.
9 aBreak forth, shout joyfully together,
You bwaste places of Jerusalem;
For the Lord has comforted His people,
He has credeemed Jerusalem.
10 The Lord has bared His holy aarm
In the sight of all the nations,
1That ball the ends of the earth may see
The salvation of our God.
11 aDepart, depart, go out from there,
bTouch nothing unclean;
Go out of the midst of her, cpurify yourselves,
You who carry the vessels of the Lord.
12 But you will not go out in ahaste,
Nor will you go 1as fugitives;
For the bLord will go before you,
And cthe God of Israel will be your rear guard.
13 Behold, My aservant will prosper,
He will be high and lifted up and 1greatly bexalted.
14 Just as many were astonished at you, My people,
So His aappearance was marred more than any man
And His form more than the sons of men.
15 Thus He will asprinkle many nations,
Kings will bshut their mouths on account of Him;
For cwhat had not been told them they will see,
And what they had not heard they will understand.
1 aWho has believed our message?
And to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?
2 For He grew up before Him like a atender 1shoot,
And like a root out of parched ground;
He has bno stately form or majesty
That we should look upon Him,
Nor appearance that we should 2be attracted to Him.
3 He was adespised and forsaken of men,
A man of 1sorrows and bacquainted with 2grief;
And like one from whom men hide their face
He was cdespised, and we did not desteem Him.
4 Surely our 1griefs He Himself abore,
And our 2sorrows He carried;
Yet we ourselves esteemed Him stricken,
3Smitten of bGod, and afflicted.
5 But He was 1pierced through for aour transgressions,
He was crushed for bour iniquities;
The cchastening for our 2well-being fell upon Him,
And by dHis scourging we are healed.
6 All of us like sheep have gone astray,
Each of us has turned to his own way;
But the Lord has caused the iniquity of us all
To 1fall on Him.
7 He was oppressed and He was afflicted,
Yet He did not aopen His mouth;
bLike a lamb that is led to slaughter,
And like a sheep that is silent before its shearers,
So He did not open His mouth.
8 By oppression and judgment He was taken away;
And as for His generation, who considered
That He was cut off out of the land of the 1living
aFor the transgression of my people, to whom the stroke was due?
9 His grave was assigned with wicked men,
Yet He was with a arich man in His death,
bBecause He had cdone no violence,
Nor was there any deceit in His mouth.
To acrush Him, 1bputting Him to grief;
If 2He would render Himself as a guilt coffering,
He will prolong His days,
And the 4good epleasure of the Lord will prosper in His hand.
11 As a result of the 1anguish of His soul,
He will asee 2it and be satisfied;
By His bknowledge the Righteous One,
My Servant, will justify the many,
As He will cbear their iniquities.
12 Therefore, I will allot Him a aportion with the great,
And He will divide the booty with the strong;
Because He poured out 1bHimself to death,
And was cnumbered with the transgressors;
Yet He Himself dbore the sin of many,
And interceded for the transgressors.
1 “aShout for joy, O barren one, you who have borne no child;
Break forth into joyful shouting and cry aloud, you who have not travailed;
For the sons of the bdesolate one will be cmore numerous
Than the sons of the married woman,” says the Lord.
2 “aEnlarge the place of your tent;
1Stretch out the curtains of your dwellings, spare not;
Lengthen your bcords
And strengthen your bpegs.
3 “For you will aspread abroad to the right and to the left.
And your 1descendants will bpossess nations
And will cresettle the desolate cities.
4 “Fear not, for you will anot be put to shame;
And do not feel humiliated, for you will not be disgraced;
But you will forget the bshame of your youth,
And the creproach of your widowhood you will remember no more.
5 “For your ahusband is your Maker,
Whose name is the Lord of hosts;
And your bRedeemer is the Holy One of Israel,
Who is called the cGod of all the earth.
6 “For the Lord has called you,
Like a wife aforsaken and grieved in spirit,
Even like a wife of one’s youth when she is rejected,”
Says your God.
7 “1For a abrief moment I forsook you,
But with great compassion I will bgather you.
I hid My face from you for a moment,
But with everlasting blovingkindness I will chave compassion on you,”
Says the Lord your dRedeemer.
9 “For 1this is like the days of Noah to Me,
When I swore that the waters of Noah
Would anot 2flood the earth again;
So I have sworn that I will bnot be angry with you
Nor will I rebuke you.
10 “For the amountains may be removed and the hills may shake,
But My lovingkindness will not be removed from you,
And My bcovenant of peace will not be shaken,”
Says cthe Lord who has compassion on you.
11 “O aafflicted one, storm-tossed, and bnot comforted,
Behold, I will set your stones in antimony,
And your foundations I will clay in 1dsapphires.
12 “Moreover, I will make your battlements of 1rubies,
And your gates of 2crystal,
And your entire 3wall of precious stones.
13 “aAll your sons will be 1taught of the Lord;
And the well-being of your sons will be bgreat.
14 “In arighteousness you will be established;
You will be far from boppression, for you will cnot fear;
And from dterror, for it will not come near you.
15 “If anyone fiercely assails you it will not be from Me.
aWhoever assails you will fall because of you.
16 “Behold, I Myself have created the smith who blows the fire of coals
And brings out a weapon for its work;
And I have created the destroyer to ruin.
17 “aNo weapon that is formed against you will prosper;
And bevery tongue that 1accuses you in judgment you will condemn.
This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord,
And their cvindication is from Me,” declares the Lord.
1 “Ho! Every one who athirsts, come to the waters;
And you who have bno 1money come, buy and eat.
Come, buy cwine and milk
dWithout money and without cost.
2 “Why do you 1spend money for what is anot bread,
And your wages for what does not satisfy?
Listen carefully to Me, and beat what is good,
And cdelight yourself in abundance.
3 “aIncline your ear and come to Me.
And I will make can everlasting covenant with you,
According to the dfaithful mercies 2shown to David.
4 “Behold, I have made ahim a witness to the peoples,
A bleader and commander for the peoples.
5 “Behold, you will call a anation you do not know,
And a nation which knows you not will brun to you,
Because of the Lord your God, even the Holy One of Israel;
For He has cglorified you.”
6 aSeek the Lord while He may be found;
bCall upon Him while He is near.
7 aLet the wicked forsake his way
And the unrighteous man his bthoughts;
And let him creturn to the Lord,
And He will have dcompassion on him,
And to our God,
For He will eabundantly pardon.
8 “For My thoughts are not ayour thoughts,
Nor are byour ways My ways,” declares the Lord.
9 “For aas the heavens are higher than the earth,
So are My ways higher than your ways
And My thoughts than your thoughts.
10 “For as the arain and the snow come down from heaven,
And do not return there without watering the earth
And making it bear and sprout,
And furnishing bseed to the sower and bread to the eater;
11 So will My aword be which goes forth from My mouth;
It will bnot return to Me empty,
Without caccomplishing what I desire,
And without succeeding in the matter for which I sent it.
12 “For you will go out with ajoy
And be led forth with bpeace;
The cmountains and the hills will break forth into shouts of joy before you,
And all the dtrees of the field will clap their hands.
13 “Instead of the athorn bush the bcypress will come up,
And instead of the cnettle the myrtle will come up,
