22 Thus saith the Lord, the God that judgeth his people, Behold, I have taken out of thine hand the cup of falling, the goblet of (my) wrath, and thou shalt no more drink it again:
23 And I will put it ’the hands of them that did thee wrong, and them that humbled thee; which said to thy soul Bow down, that we may pass by; and thou laidest thy back even with the ground, without, for them that went by.
LII. 1 Awake, awake, Zion; put on thy strength, Zion, and put on ’glory, Jerusalem, holy city; no longer shall there pass through thee again (one) uncircumcised and unclean.
2 Shake off the dust, and arise; sit down, O Jerusalem, put off the bond from thy neck, O captive daughter of Zion.
3 For thus saith the Lord, Ye were sold for nought, and not with money shall ye be ransomed.
4 Thus saith the Lord, My people went down aforetime into Egypt to sojourn there, and by force were they led to the Assyrians.
5 And now, why are ye here? Thus saith the Lord, Because my people were seized for nought, ye marvel and wail. Thus saith the Lord, Because of you my name is continually blasphemed among the nations.
6 Therefore my people shall learn my name in that day, that I am verily he that speaketh: I am here,
7 Like beauty upon the mountains, like the feet of one bringing glad tidings of news of peace, like one that bringeth glad tidings of good things; for I will make thy salvation heard, saying to Zion, God shall reign over thee.
8 For the voice of them that watch over thee is upraised, and with their voice shall they rejoice together: for eyes shall look - upon eyes, when the Lord hath mercy upon Zion.
9 Let the waste places of jerusalem break forth together in joy, for the Lord hath mercy upon her, and bath delivered Jerusalem.
10 And the Lord will make bare his holy arm before all the nations; and all the ends of the earth shall see the salvation that cometh from God.
11 Depart, depart ye, go forth from thence, and touch not what is unclean; go forth from the midst of her, separate yourselves, ye that bear the vessels of the Lord.
12 For not with confusion shall ye go forth, nor in flight shall ye go: for the Lord will go before in front of you, and the Lord, the God of Israel, is he that gathereth you together.
13 Behold, my servant shall understand, and shall be exalted, and be glorified exceedingly.
14 Like as many shall be amazed at thee,—so shall thy be despised from among men, and thy glory from among men.
15 So shall many nations marvel at him, and kings shall shut their mouth; for (they) to whom it was not declared shall see concerninglhim, and they who have not heard shall understand.
LIII. 1 Lord, who did believe our report? and the arm of the Lord, to whom was it revealed ?
2 We declared him as a child before him, as (is) a root in a thirsty land; he hath no form nor glory. And we saw him, and he had no form nor comeliness,
3 But his form was unhonoured, and failing among all men; a man under a stroke, and one that knew how to bear sickness; for his face is turned away, he was dishonoured and not esteemed.
4 This is he that beareth our sins, and sorroweth for us; and we esteemed him to be in trouble, and under a stroke, and calamity.
5 But he was wounded for our transgressions, and was sick because of our sins; the discipline of our peace was upon him; with his stripe we were healed.
6 All we like sheep-did go astray, each strayed by his own way; and the Lord gave him over to our sins.
7 And be, for that he hath been evil ’eated, openeth not his mouth; he was led as a sheep to slaughter, and as a lamb dumb before the shearer, so he openeth not his mouth.
8 In humiliation his judgment was taken away; who shall describe ’ generation? for his life is removed from the earth; from the transgressions of my people was he led to death.
9 And I give the wicked instead of his burial, and the rich instead of his death; because he committed no transgression, neither was guile found in his mouth.
10 And the Lord desireth cleanse him from his plague: if ye offer for sin, your soul shall see a long lived seed: and the Lord desireth to take (him) away .from the trouble of his soul,
11 To show to him alight, and to form him with understanding to justify a just one that serveth many aright, and their sins shall he himself bear.
12 Therefore he shall make many to inherit, and the spoils of the mighty shall he divide; because his soul was given over unto death; and he was reckoned among the transgressors; and himself bare the sins of many, and was given over because of their sins.
LIV. 1 Rejoice, barren one that bearest not, break forth and cry aloud, thou that travailest not; for many are the of the desolate, rather than of her that hath her husband; for the Lord hath spolten it.
2 Widen the place of thy tent, and of thy curtains; make fast, spare not, lengthen thy cords, and strengthen thy stakes :
3 Spread it out yet to the right hand and to the left; and thy seed shall inherit nations, and thou shalt people cities that have been desolate.
4 Fear not, because thou wast put to shame; and turn not back, because thou wast reproached; for thou shalt forget thy perpetual shame, and the reproach of thy widowhood shalt thou not remember.
5 For thy Maker is the Lord, the Lord of Hosts is his name; - and he that delivereth thee is the very God of Israel, he shall be called (so) in all the earth.
6 Not as a woman forsaken <and faint of heart> Lord called thee, nor as a woman hated from her youth, saith thy God.
7 For a little while I forsook thee, and with great mercy will I have mercy on thee.
8 In a little wrath I turned my face away from thee, and in everlasting mercy have I had mercy ’on thee: saith the Lord thy deliverer.
9 From the water that was in the time of Noah this is mine, as I sware to him at that time, that I would no more be wroth with the earth because of thee, nor for a threatening of thee remove the mountains:
10 Nor shall thy hills be shaken from their place: so neither shall the mercy that cometh from me upon thee fail, nor the covenant of thy peace be removed ; for he said, TheLord is gracious to thee.
11 Humbled and unstable, thou wast not comforted; behold, I prepare for thee carbuncle for thy stone, and sapphire for thy foundations.
12 And I will make thy battlements of jasper, and thy gates of crystal stones, and thy circuit of chosen stones.
13 And (I will make) all thy sons instructed of the Lord, and thy children (to be) in great peace.
14 (And in righteousness shalt thou be builded; refrain from wrong, and thou shalt not be afraid, and trembling shall not come nigh thee
15 Behold, strangers shall approach unto thee through me, and they shall dwell by thee, and flee for refuge to thee.
16 Behold, I create thee, not as doth a smith that bloweth the coals, and bringeth forth an instrument for-a work: but I have I created thee not for destruction, to waste thee.
17 Every instrument is corruptible, but against thee I will not approve it; and every voice that shall stand up against thee for judgment, all them shalt thou vanquish, and they that are subject ’to thee shall be therein. There is an inheritance for them that attend on the Lord, and ye shall be righteous in my sight, saith the Lord.
LV. 1 Ye that thirst, come to (the) water, and all ye that have no money, come and buy, and drink, without money and price, of the wine, and the fat.
2 Wherefore do ye value (them) for money, and your labour, not for satisfying? and ye shall eat good things, and your soul shall delight itself in good things.
3 Attend with your ears, and follow ye my paths; hearken to me, and your soul shall live amid good things; and I will make with you an everlasting covenant, the holy things of David that are sure.
4 Behold, I have given him for a testimony among nations, - a ruler and commander over nations.
5 Nations which knew not thee shall call upon thee; and peoples which understand not thee shall flee unto thee, for thy ’s sake, the Holy One of Israel; for he glorifieth thee.
6 Seek ye God, and as ye find him, call upon him ; and when soever he draweth near unto thee,
7 Let the wicked forsake his ways, and the man that transgresseth his counsels; and let him return unto the Lord, and he will have mercy upon him; for far away will he dismiss your sins.
8 For my counsels are not as your counsels, nor are my ways as your ways, saith the Lord.
9 But, as the heaven is far from the earth, so is my way far - from your ways, and your thoughts from my thought.
10 For as rain cometh down, or snow from heaven, and will not return, until it have watered the earth, and she, bring forth and blossom, and shall give seed to the sower, and bread for food:
11 So shall be my word, whatsoever goeth forth from my mouth; it shall not return until all that I willed be fulfilled and I prosper thy ways and my commandments.
12 For ye shall go forth in joy, and in delight shall ye be taught; for the mountains and the hills shall leap forth, welcoming ’ you in delight, and all the trees of the field shall clash their branches,
13 And instead of the broom shall come up the cypress, and instead of the fleabane shall come up a myrtle-tree; and the Lord shall be for a name and for an everlasting sign, and shall not fail.
