Isaias

Hebrew Bible

Hebrew Bible, Isaias, Ottley, Cambridge, 1904

13 Yea, from the beginning I am he: and there is none that delivereth out of my hand: I will work, and who shall turn it back?

14 Thus saith the Lord, your redeemer, the Holy One of Israel: For your sake I have sent to Babylon, and will bring down all of them as fugitives, and the Chaldaeans in the ships of their shouting

15 I the Lord am your Holy One, the Creator of Israel, your King.

16 Thus saith the Lord, which giveth a way in the sea, and a path in the mighty waters:

17 Which bringeth forth chariot and horse, force and warrior: they lie down together, they shall not rise: they are quenched, they are gone out like a wick:

[*](9. ‘produce,’ lit. ‘give’: ‘appear righteous,’ or, ‘be justified.’ So xlv. 25, c.)[*](13. ‘from the beginning,’ lit. ‘from the day.)

18 Remember ye not the first things, neither consider the things of old.

19 Behold, I do a new thing; now is it springing forth; will ye not know it? Yea, I will set a way in the wilderness, rivers in the desert.

20 The beast of the field shall honour. me, jackals and (daughters of) ostriches : for I have given ’waters in the wilderness, rivers in the desert, to give drink to my people, my chosen.
