1Thus saith the Lord God to my anointedCyrus, whose right hand I have held, that nations might be obedient before him; and I will break through the strength of kings; I will open doors before him, and cities shall not be closed.
1Thus saith the Lord to his anointed, to Cyrus, whose right hand I have holden, to subdue nations before him; and I will loose the loins of kings, to open before him the two leaved gates; and the gates shall not be shut;
2I will go before thee, and will level mountains: I will break to pieces brazen doors, and will burst iron bars.
2I will go before thee, and make the crooked places straight: I will break in pieces the gates of brass, and cut in sunder the bars of iron:
3And I will give thee the treasures of darkness, I will open to thee hidden , unseen [treasures], that thou mayest know that I, the Lord thy God, that call thee by name, am the God of Israel.
3And I will give thee the treasures of darkness, and hidden riches of secret places, that thou mayest know that I, the Lord, which call thee by thy name, am the God of Israel.
4For the sake of my servant Jacob, and Israel mine elect, I will call thee by thy name, and accept thee: but thou hast not known me.
4For Jacob my servant’s sake, and Israel mine elect, I have even called thee by thy name: I have surnamed thee, though thou hast not known me.
5For I am the Lord God, and there is no other God beside me; I strengthened thee, and thou hast not known me.
5I am the Lord, and there is none else, there is no God beside me: I girded thee, though thou hast not known me:
6That they that [come] from the east and they that [come] from the west may know that there is no God but me. I am the Lord God, and there is none beside.
6That they may know from the rising of the sun, and from the west, that there is none beside me. I am the Lord, and there is none else.
7I am he that prepared light, and formed darkness; who make peace, and create evil; I am the Lord God, that does all these things.
7I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the Lord do all these things.
8Let the heaven rejoice from above, and let the clouds rain righteousness: let the earth bring forth, and blossom [with] mercy, and bring forth righteousness likewise: I am the Lord that created thee.
8Drop down, ye heavens, from above, and let the skies pour down righteousness: let the earth open, and let them bring forth salvation, and let righteousness spring up together; I the Lord have created it.
9What excellent thing have I prepared as clay of the potter? Will the ploughman plough the earth all day? shall the clay say to the potter, What art thou doing that thou dost not work, nor hast hands? shall the thing formed answer him that formed it?
9Woe unto him that striveth with his Maker! Let the potsherd strive with the potsherds of the earth. Shall the clay say to him that fashioneth it, What makest thou? or thy work, He hath no hands?
10As though one should say to [his] father, What wilt thou beget me? and to his mother, What art thou bringing forth?
10Woe unto him that saith unto his father, What begettest thou? or to the woman, What hast thou brought forth?
11For thus saith the Lord God, the Holy One of Israel, who has formed the things that are to come, Enquire of me concerning my sons, and concerning the works of my hands command me.
11Thus saith the Lord, the Holy One of Israel, and his Maker, Ask me of things to come concerning my sons, and concerning the work of my hands command ye me.
12I have made the earth, and man upon it: I with my hand have established the heaven; I have given commandment to all the stars.
12I have made the earth, and created man upon it: I, even my hands, have stretched out the heavens, and all their host have I commanded.
13I have raised him up [to be] a king with righteousness, and all his ways are right: he shall build my city, and shall turn the captivity of my people, not for ransoms, nor for rewards, saith the Lord of hosts.
13I have raised him up in righteousness, and I will direct all his ways: he shall build my city, and he shall let go my captives, not for price nor reward, saith the Lord of hosts.
14Thus saith the Lord of hosts, Egypt has laboured [for thee]; and the merchandise of the Ethiopians, and the Sabeans, men of stature, shall pass over to thee, and shall be thy servants; and they shall follow after thee bound in fetters, and shall pass over to thee, and shall do obeisance to thee, and make supplication to thee: because God is in thee; and there is no God beside thee, [O Lord].
14Thus saith the Lord, The labour of Egypt, and merchandise of Ethiopia and of the Sabeans, men of stature, shall come over unto thee, and they shall be thine: they shall come after thee; in chains they shall come over, and they shall fall down unto thee, they shall make supplication unto thee, saying, Surely God is in thee; and there is none else, there is no God.
15For thou art God , yet we knew [it] not, the God of Israel, the Saviour.
15Verily thou art a God that hidest thyself, O God of Israel, the Saviour.
16All that are opposed to him shall be ashamedand confounded, and shall walk in shame: ye isles, keep a feast to me.
16They shall be ashamed, and also confounded, all of them: they shall go to confusion together that are makers of idols.
17Israel is saved by the Lord with an everlasting salvation: they shall not be ashamed nor confounded for evermore.
17But Israel shall be saved in the Lord with an everlasting salvation: ye shall not be ashamed nor confounded world without end.
18Thus saith the Lord that made the heaven, this God that created the earth, and made it; he marked it out, he made it not in vain, but formed it to be inhabited: I am the Lord, and there is none beside.
18For thus saith the Lord that created the heavens; God himself that formed the earth and made it; he hath established it, he created it not in vain, he formed it to be inhabited: I am the Lord; and there is none else.
19I have not spoken in secret, nor in a dark place of the earth: I said not to the seed of Jacob, Seek vanity: I, even I, am the Lord, speaking righteousness, and proclaiming truth.
19I have not spoken in secret, in a dark place of the earth: I said not unto the seed of Jacob, Seek ye me in vain: I the Lord speak righteousness, I declare things that are right.
20Assemble yourselves and come; take counsel together, ye that escape of the nations: they that set up wood, [even] their graven image, have no knowledge, nor they who pray to gods that do not save.
20Assemble yourselves and come; draw near together, ye that are escaped of the nations: they have no knowledge that set up the wood of their graven image, and pray unto a god that cannot save.
21If they will declare, let them draw nigh, that they may know together, who has caused these things to be heard from the beginning: then was it told you. I am God, and there is not another beside me; a just [God] and a Saviour; there is none but me.
21Tell ye, and bring them near; yea, let them take counsel together: who hath declared this from ancient time? who hath told it from that time? have not I the Lord? and there is no God else beside me; a just God and a Saviour; there is none beside me.
22Turn ye to me, and ye shall be saved, ye that [come] from the end of the earth: I am God, and there is none other.
22Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth: for I am God, and there is none else.
23By myself I swear, righteousness shall surely proceed out of my mouth; my words shall not be frustrated; that to me every knee shall bend, and every tongue shall swear by God,
23I have sworn by myself, the word is gone out of my mouth in righteousness, and shall not return, That unto me every knee shall bow, every tongue shall swear.
24saying, Righteousness and glory shall come to him: and all that remove them from their borders shall be ashamed.
24Surely, shall one say, in the Lord have I righteousness and strength: even to him shall men come; and all that are incensed against him shall be ashamed.
25By the Lord shall they be justified, and in God shall all the seed of the children of Israel be glorified.
25In the Lord shall all the seed of Israel be justified, and shall glory.
1Bel has fallen, Nabo is broken to pieces, their graven images are gone to the wild beastsand the cattle: ye take them packed up as a burden to the weary, exhausted, hungry, and [at the same time] helpless man;
1Bel boweth down, Nebo stoopeth, their idols were upon the beasts, and upon the cattle: your carriages were heavy loaden; they are a burden to the weary beast.
2who will not be able to save themselves from war, but they themselves are led [away] captive.
2They stoop, they bow down together; they could not deliver the burden, but themselves are gone into captivity.
3Hear me, O house of Jacob, and all the remnant of Israel, who are borne [by me] from the womb, and taught [by me] from infancy, [even] to old age:
3Hearken unto me, O house of Jacob, and all the remnant of the house of Israel, which are borne by me from the belly, which are carried from the womb:
4I am [he]; and until ye shall have grown old, I am [he]: I bear you, I have made, and I will relieve, I will take up and save you.
4And even to your old age I am he; and even to hoar hairs will I carry you: I have made, and I will bear; even I will carry, and will deliver you.
5To whom have ye compared me? see, consider, ye that go astray.
5To whom will ye liken me, and make me equal, and compare me, that we may be like?
6They that furnish gold out of a purse, and silver by weight, will weigh it in a scale, and they hire a goldsmithand make idols, and bow down, and worship them.
6They lavish gold out of the bag, and weigh silver in the balance, and hire a goldsmith; and he maketh it a god: they fall down, yea, they worship.
7They bear it upon the shoulder, and go; and if they put it upon its place, it remains, it cannot move: and whosoever shall cry to it, it cannot hear; it cannot save him from trouble.
7They bear him upon the shoulder, they carry him, and set him in his place, and he standeth; from his place shall he not remove: yea, one shall cry unto him, yet can he not answer, nor save him out of his trouble.
8Remember ye these things, and groan: repent, ye that have gone astray, return in your heart;
8Remember this, and shew yourselves men: bring it again to mind, O ye transgressors.
9and remember the former things [that were] of old: for I am God, and there is none other beside me,
9Remember the former things of old: for I am God, and there is none else; I am God, and there is none like me,
10telling beforehand the latter events before they come to pass, and they are accomplished together: and I said, All my counsel shall stand, and I will do all things that I have planned:
10Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure:
11calling a bird from the east, and from a land afar off, for the things which I have planned: I have spoken , and brought [him]; I have created and made [him]; I have brought him, and prospered his way.
11Calling a ravenous bird from the east, the man that executeth my counsel from a far country: yea, I have spoken it, I will also bring it to pass; I have purposed it, I will also do it.
12Hearken to me, ye senseless ones, that are far from righteousness:
12Hearken unto me, ye stouthearted, that are far from righteousness:
13I have brought near my righteousness, and I will not be slow with the salvation that is from me: I have given salvation in Sion to Israel for glory.
13I bring near my righteousness; it shall not be far off, and my salvation shall not tarry: and I will place salvation in Zion for Israel my glory.
