1Hear you^2f this, O house of Ya’akov [Heal of God], which are called by the name of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God], and are come forth out of the waters of Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised], which swear by the name of the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), and make mention of the God-Elohim (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God], [but] not in truth, nor in righteousness.

2For they call themselves of the holy city, and stay themselves upon the God-Elohim (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God]; The LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) Tz’va’ot [of the Heavenly Armies] [is] his name.

3I have declared the former things from the beginning; and they went forth out of my mouth, and I showed them; I did [them] suddenly, and they came to pass.

4Because I knew that youⁱ [are] obstinate, and yourⁱ neck [is] an iron sinew, and yourⁱ brow brass;

5I have even from the beginning declared [it] to youⁱ; before it came to pass I showed [it] youⁱ: lest youⁱ should say, Mine idol has done them, and my graven image, and my molten image, has commanded them.

6Youⁱ have heard, see all this; and will not you^2f declare [it]? I have showed youⁱ new things from this time, even hidden things, and youⁱ did not know them.

7They are created now, and not from the beginning; even before the day when youⁱ heard them not; lest youⁱ should say, Behold, I knew them.

8Yes, youⁱ heard not; yes, youⁱ knew not; yes, from that time [that] yourⁱ ear was not opened: for I knew that youⁱ would deal very treacherously, and were called a transgressor from the womb.

9For my name's sake will I defer my anger, and for my praise will I refrain for youⁱ, that I cut youⁱ not off.

10Behold, I have refined youⁱ, but not with silver; I have chosen youⁱ in the furnace of affliction.

11For my own sake, [even] for my own sake, will I do [it]: for how should [my name] be polluted? and I will not give my glory unto another.

12Listen unto me, O Ya’akov [Heal of God] and Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God], my called; I [am] he; I [am] the first, I also [am] the last.

13Mine hand also has laid the foundation of the earth, and my right hand has spanned the heavens: [when] I call unto them, they stand up together.

14All you^2f, assemble yourselves, and hear; which among them has declared these [things]? The LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) has loved him: he will do his pleasure on Bavel (to jumble, or a confused medley of sounds; confusion; gate of the deity) (Babylon) [confusion], and his arm [shall be on] the Kasdim [clod-breakers].

15I, [even] I, have spoken; yes, I have called him: I have brought him, and he shall make his way prosperous.

16Come you^2f near unto me, hear you^2f this; I have not spoken in secret from the beginning; from the time that it was, there [am] I: and now the Lord-Adonai [Greatest Above All Things] GOD-Yehoveeh (THE FATHER), and his Spirit, has sent me.

17Thus says the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), yourⁱ Redeemer, the Holy One of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God]; I [am] the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) youⁱ God-Elohim (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] which teaches youⁱ to profit, which leads youⁱ by the way [that] youⁱ should go.

18O that youⁱ had listened to my commandments! then had yourⁱ peace been as a river, and yourⁱ righteousness as the waves of the sea:

19You1s seed also had been as the sand, and the offspring of yourⁱ bowels (inward parts; affections) like the gravel thereof; his name should not have been cut off nor destroyed from before me.

20Go you^2f forth of Bavel (to jumble, or a confused medley of sounds; confusion; gate of the deity) (Babylon) [confusion], flee you^2f from the Kasdim [clod-breakers], with a voice of singing declare you^2f, tell this, utter it [even] to the end of the earth; say you^2f, The LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) has redeemed his servant Ya’akov [Heal of God].

21And they thirsted not [when] he led them through the deserts: he caused the waters to flow out of the rock for them: he clave the rock also, and the waters gushed out.

22[There is] no peace, says the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), unto the wicked.
