1. Thus said Jehovah: The heavens are My throne, And the earth My footstool, Where is this -- the house that ye build for Me? And where is this -- the place -- My rest?
|
1. Thus H3541 saith H559 the LORD H3068 , The heaven H8064 is my throne H3678 , and the earth H776 is my footstool H1916 H7272 : where H335 is the house H1004 that H834 ye build H1129 unto me? and where H335 is the H2088 place H4725 of my rest H4496 ?
|
|
2. And all these My hand hath made, And all these things are, An affirmation of Jehovah! And unto this one I look attentively, Unto the humble and bruised in spirit, And who is trembling at My word.
|
2. For all H3605 those H428 things hath mine hand H3027 made H6213 , and all H3605 those H428 things have been H1961 , saith H5002 the LORD H3068 : but to H413 this H2088 man will I look H5027 , even to H413 him that is poor H6041 and of a contrite H5223 spirit H7307 , and trembleth H2730 at H5921 my word H1697 .

3. Whoso slaughtereth the ox smiteth a man, Whoso sacrificeth the lamb beheadeth a dog, Whoso is bringing up a present -- The blood of a sow, Whoso is making mention of frankincense, Is blessing iniquity. Yea, they have fixed on their own ways, And in their abominations their soul hath delighted.
|
3. He that killeth H7819 an ox H7794 is as if he slew H5221 a man H376 ; he that sacrificeth H2076 a lamb H7716 , as if he cut off a dog's neck H6202 H3611 ; he that offereth H5927 an oblation H4503 , as if he offered swine H2386 's blood H1818 ; he that burneth H2142 incense H3828 , as if he blessed H1288 an idol H205 . Yea H1571 , they H1992 have chosen H977 their own ways H1870 , and their soul H5315 delighteth H2654 in their abominations H8251 .
|
|
4. I also -- I fix on their vexations, And their fears I bring in to them, Because I have called, and there is none answering, I spake, and they have not hearkened, And they do the evil things in Mine eyes, And on that which I desired not -- fixed.
|
4. I H589 also H1571 will choose H977 their delusions H8586 , and will bring H935 their fears H4035 upon them; because H3282 when I called H7121 , none H369 did answer H6030 ; when I spoke H1696 , they did not H3808 hear H8085 : but they did H6213 evil H7451 before mine eyes H5869 , and chose H977 that in which H834 I delighted H2654 not H3808 .
|
|
5. Hear a word of Jehovah, Ye who are trembling unto His word, Said have your brethren who are hating you, Who are driving you out, for My name`s sake: `Honoured is Jehovah, and we look on your joy,` But they are ashamed.
|
5. Hear H8085 the word H1697 of the LORD H3068 , ye that tremble H2730 at H413 his word H1697 ; Your brethren H251 that hated H8130 you , that cast you out H5077 for my name's sake H4616 H8034 , said H559 , Let the LORD H3068 be glorified H3513 : but he shall appear H7200 to your joy H8057 , and they H1992 shall be ashamed H954 .
|
|
6. A voice of noise is from the city, a voice from the temple, The voice of Jehovah, giving recompence to His enemies.
|
6. A voice H6963 of noise H7588 from the city H4480 H5892 , a voice H6963 from the temple H4480 H1964 , a voice H6963 of the LORD H3068 that rendereth H7999 recompense H1576 to his enemies H341 .
|
|
7. Before she is pained she hath brought forth, Before a pang cometh to her, She hath delivered a male.
|
7. Before H2962 she travailed H2342 , she brought forth H3205 ; before H2962 her pain H2256 came H935 , she was delivered H4422 of a man child H2145 .
|
|
8. Who hath heard anything like this? Who hath seen anything like these? Is earth caused to bring forth in one day? Born is a nation at once? For she hath been pained, Zion also hath borne her sons.
|
8. Who H4310 hath heard H8085 such a thing H2063 ? who H4310 hath seen H7200 such things H428 ? Shall the earth H776 be made to bring forth H2342 in one H259 day H3117 ? or shall a nation H1471 be born H3205 at once H259 H6471 ? for H3588 as soon H1571 as Zion H6726 travailed H2342 , she brought forth H3205 H853 her children H1121 .
|
|
9. `Do I bring to the birth, And not cause to bring forth?` saith Jehovah, `Am not I He who is causing to beget? I have also restrained,` said thy God.
|
9. Shall I H589 bring to the birth H7665 , and not H3808 cause to bring forth H3205 ? saith H559 the LORD H3068 : shall I H589 cause to bring forth H3205 , and shut H6113 the womb ? saith H559 thy God H430 .
|
|
10. Rejoice ye with Jerusalem, And be glad in her, all ye loving her, Rejoice ye with her for joy, All ye are mourning for her,
|
10. Rejoice H8055 ye with H854 Jerusalem H3389 , and be glad H1523 with her, all H3605 ye that love H157 her: rejoice H7797 for joy H4885 with H854 her, all H3605 ye that mourn H56 for H5921 her:
|
|
11. So that ye suck, and have been satisfied, From the breast of her consolations, So that ye wring out, and have delighted yourselves From the abundance of her honour.
|
11. That H4616 ye may suck H3243 , and be satisfied H7646 with the breasts H4480 H7699 of her consolations H8575 ; that H4616 ye may milk out H4711 , and be delighted H6026 with the abundance H4480 H2123 of her glory H3519 .
|
|
12. For thus said Jehovah: `Lo, I am stretching out to her peace as a river, And as an overflowing stream the honour of nations, And ye have sucked, on the side ye are carried, And on the knees ye are dandled.
|
12. For H3588 thus H3541 saith H559 the LORD H3068 , Behold H2009 , I will extend H5186 peace H7965 to H413 her like a river H5104 , and the glory H3519 of the Gentiles H1471 like a flowing H7857 stream H5158 : then shall ye suck H3243 , ye shall be borne H5375 upon H5921 her sides H6654 , and be dandled H8173 upon H5921 her knees H1290 .
|
|
13. As one whom his mother comforteth, so do I comfort you, Yea, in Jerusalem ye are comforted.
|
13. As one H376 whom H834 his mother H517 comforteth H5162 , so H3651 will I H595 comfort H5162 you ; and ye shall be comforted H5162 in Jerusalem H3389 .
|
|
14. And ye have seen, and rejoiced hath your heart, And your bones as tender grass do flourish, And the hand of Jehovah hath been known unto His servants, And He hath been indignant with His enemies.
|
14. And when ye see H7200 this , your heart H3820 shall rejoice H7797 , and your bones H6106 shall flourish H6524 like an herb H1877 : and the hand H3027 of the LORD H3068 shall be known H3045 toward H854 his servants H5650 , and his indignation H2194 toward H854 his enemies H341 .
|
|
15. For, lo, Jehovah in fire cometh, And as a hurricane His chariots, To refresh in fury His anger, And His rebuke in flames of fire.
|
15. For H3588 , behold H2009 , the LORD H3068 will come H935 with fire H784 , and with his chariots H4818 like a whirlwind H5492 , to render H7725 his anger H639 with fury H2534 , and his rebuke H1606 with flames H3851 of fire H784 .
|
|
16. For by fire and by His sword, Doth Jehovah do judgment with all flesh. And many have been Jehovah`s pierced ones.`
|
16. For H3588 by fire H784 and by his sword H2719 will the LORD H3068 plead H8199 with H854 all H3605 flesh H1320 : and the slain H2491 of the LORD H3068 shall be many H7231 .
|
|
17. Those sanctifying and cleansing themselves at the gardens, After Ahad in the midst, Eating flesh of the sow, And of the abomination, and of the mouse, Together are consumed, An affirmation of Jehovah.
|
17. They that sanctify themselves H6942 , and purify themselves H2891 in H413 the gardens H1593 behind H310 one H259 tree in the midst H8432 , eating H398 swine H2386 's flesh H1320 , and the abomination H8263 , and the mouse H5909 , shall be consumed H5486 together H3162 , saith H5002 the LORD H3068 .
|
|
18. And I -- their works and their thoughts, I come to gather all the nations and tongues, And they have come and seen My honour.
|
18. For I H595 know their works H4639 and their thoughts H4284 : it shall come H935 , that I will gather H6908 H853 all H3605 nations H1471 and tongues H3956 ; and they shall come H935 , and see H7200 H853 my glory H3519 .
|
|
19. And I have set among them a sign, And have sent out of them those escaping unto the nations, (Tarshish, Pul, and Lud, drawing bow, Tubal and Javan, the isles that are far off,) Who have not heard My fame, nor seen Mine honour, And they have declared Mine honour among nations.
|
19. And I will set H7760 a sign H226 among them , and I will send H7971 those that escape H6412 of them H4480 unto H413 the nations H1471 , to Tarshish H8659 , Pul H6322 , and Lud H3865 , that draw H4900 the bow H7198 , to Tubal H8422 , and Javan H3120 , to the isles H339 afar off H7350 , that H834 have not H3808 heard H8085 H853 my fame H8088 , neither H3808 have seen H7200 H853 my glory H3519 ; and they shall declare H5046 H853 my glory H3519 among the Gentiles H1471 .
|
|
20. And they have brought all your brethren out of all the nations, A present to Jehovah, On horses, and on chariot, and on litters, And on mules, and on dromedaries, Unto My holy mountain Jerusalem, said Jehovah, As the sons of Israel bring the present in a clean vessel, Into the house of Jehovah.
|
20. And they shall bring H935 H853 all H3605 your brethren H251 for an offering H4503 unto the LORD H3068 out of all H4480 H3605 nations H1471 upon horses H5483 , and in chariots H7393 , and in litters H6632 , and upon mules H6505 , and upon swift beasts H3753 , to H5921 my holy H6944 mountain H2022 Jerusalem H3389 , saith H559 the LORD H3068 , as H834 the children H1121 of Israel H3478 bring H935 H853 an offering H4503 in a clean H2889 vessel H3627 into the house H1004 of the LORD H3068 .
|
|
21. And also of them I take for priests, For Levites, said Jehovah.
|
21. And I will also H1571 take H3947 of H4480 them for priests H3548 and for Levites H3881 , saith H559 the LORD H3068 .
|
|
22. For, as the new heavens and the new earth that I am making, Are standing before Me, An affirmation of Jehovah! So remain doth your seed and your name.
|
22. For H3588 as H834 the new H2319 heavens H8064 and the new H2319 earth H776 , which H834 I H589 will make H6213 , shall remain H5975 before H6440 me, saith H5002 the LORD H3068 , so H3651 shall your seed H2233 and your name H8034 remain H5975 .
|
|
23. And it hath been from month to month, And from sabbath to sabbath, Come do all flesh to bow themselves before Me, Said Jehovah.
|
23. And it shall come to pass H1961 , that from H4480 H1767 one new moon H2320 to another H2320 , and from H4480 H1767 one sabbath H7676 to another H7676 , shall all H3605 flesh H1320 come H935 to worship H7812 before H6440 me, saith H559 the LORD H3068 .
|
|
24. And they have gone forth, And looked on the carcases of the men Who are transgressing against me, For their worm dieth not, And their fire is not quenched, And they have been an abhorrence to all flesh!
|
24. And they shall go forth H3318 , and look H7200 upon the carcasses H6297 of the men H376 that have transgressed H6586 against me: for H3588 their worm H8438 shall not H3808 die H4191 , neither H3808 shall their fire H784 be quenched H3518 ; and they shall be H1961 an abhorring H1860 unto all H3605 flesh H1320 .
