11 Then he remembered the days of old, Moses, andhis people, saying, Where ishe that brought
them up out of the sea with the shepherd of his flock? where ishe that put his holy Spirit
within him?
12 That led themby the right hand of Moses with his glorious arm, dividing the water before
them, to make himself an everlasting name?
13 That led them through the deep, as an horse in the wilderness, thatthey should not stumble?
14 As a beast goeth down into the valley, the Spirit of the LORD caused him to rest: so didst
thou lead thy people, to make thyself a glorious name.
15 Look down from heaven, and behold from the habitation of thy holiness and of thy glory:
where isthy zeal and thy strength, the sounding of thy bowels and of thy mercies toward me?
are they restrained?
16 Doubtless thou artour father, though Abraham be ignorant of us, and Israel acknowledge us
not: thou, O LORD, artour father, our redeemer; thy name isfrom everlasting.
17 O LORD, why hast thou made us to err from thy ways, andhardened our heart from thy fear?
Return for thy servants' sake, the tribes of thine inheritance.
18 The people of thy holiness have possessed itbut a little while: our adversaries have trodden
down thy sanctuary.
19 We are thine: thou never barest rule over them; they were not called by thy name.
1 Oh that thou wouldest rend the heavens, that thou wouldest come down, that the mountains
might flow down at thy presence,
2 As whenthe melting fire burneth, the fire causeth the waters to boil, to make thy name
known to thine adversaries, thatthe nations may tremble at thy presence!
3 When thou didst terrible things whichwe looked not for, thou camest down, the mountains
flowed down at thy presence.
4 For since the beginning of the world menhave not heard, nor perceived by the ear, neither
hath the eye seen, O God, beside thee, whathe hath prepared for him that waiteth for him.
5 Thou meetest him that rejoiceth and worketh righteousness, those thatremember thee in thy
ways: behold, thou art wroth; for we have sinned: in those is continuance, and we shall be saved.
6 But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses areas filthy rags; and we all
do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away.
7 And there isnone that calleth upon thy name, that stirreth up himself to take hold of thee:
for thou hast hid thy face from us, and hast consumed us, because of our iniquities.
8 But now, O LORD, thou artour father; we arethe clay, and thou our potter; and we all arethe
work of thy hand.
9 Be not wroth very sore, O LORD, neither remember iniquity for ever: behold, see, we beseech
thee, we areall thy people.
10 Thy holy cities are a wilderness, Zion is a wilderness, Jerusalem a desolation.
11 Our holy and our beautiful house, where our fathers praised thee, is burned up with fire: and
all our pleasant things are laid waste.
12 Wilt thou refrain thyself for these things, O LORD? wilt thou hold thy peace, and afflict us
very sore?
1 I am sought of them thatasked not for me; I am found of them thatsought me not: I said,
Behold me, behold me, unto a nation thatwas not called by my name.
2 I have spread out my hands all the day unto a rebellious people, which walketh in a way that
wasnot good, after their own thoughts;
3 A people that provoketh me to anger continually to my face; that sacrificeth in gardens, and
burneth incense upon altars of brick;
4 Which remain among the graves, and lodge in the monuments, which eat swine's flesh, and
broth of abominable things is intheir vessels;

5 Which say, Stand by thyself, come not near to me; for I am holier than thou. These area
smoke in my nose, a fire that burneth all the day.
6 Behold, it iswritten before me: I will not keep silence, but will recompense, even
recompense into their bosom,
7 Your iniquities, and the iniquities of your fathers together, saith the LORD, which have burned
incense upon the mountains, and blasphemed me upon the hills: therefore will I measure their
former work into their bosom.
8 Thus saith the LORD, As the new wine is found in the cluster, and onesaith, Destroy it not;
for a blessing isin it: so will I do for my servants' sakes, that I may not destroy them all.
9 And I will bring forth a seed out of Jacob, and out of Judah an inheritor of my mountains: and
mine elect shall inherit it, and my servants shall dwell there.
10 And Sharon shall be a fold of flocks, and the valley of Achor a place for the herds to lie
down in, for my people that have sought me.
11 But ye arethey that forsake the LORD, that forget my holy mountain, that prepare a table for
that troop, and that furnish the drink offering unto that number.
12 Therefore will I number you to the sword, and ye shall all bow down to the slaughter:
because when I called, ye did not answer; when I spake, ye did not hear; but did evil before mine
eyes, and did choose thatwherein I delighted not.
13 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD, Behold, my servants shall eat, but ye shall be hungry:
behold, my servants shall drink, but ye shall be thirsty: behold, my servants shall rejoice, but ye
shall be ashamed:
14 Behold, my servants shall sing for joy of heart, but ye shall cry for sorrow of heart, and
shall howl for vexation of spirit.
15 And ye shall leave your name for a curse unto my chosen: for the Lord GOD shall slay thee,
and call his servants by another name:
16 That he who blesseth himself in the earth shall bless himself in the God of truth; and he
that sweareth in the earth shall swear by the God of truth; because the former troubles are
forgotten, and because they are hid from mine eyes.
17 For, behold, I create new heavens and a new earth: and the former shall not be remembered,
nor come into mind.
18 But be ye glad and rejoice for ever in thatwhich I create: for, behold, I create Jerusalem a
rejoicing, and her people a joy.
19 And I will rejoice in Jerusalem, and joy in my people: and the voice of weeping shall be no
more heard in her, nor the voice of crying.
20 There shall be no more thence an infant of days, nor an old man that hath not filled his days:
for the child shall die an hundred years old; but the sinner beingan hundred years old shall be
accursed.
21 And they shall build houses, and inhabit them; and they shall plant vineyards, and eat the
fruit of them.
22 They shall not build, and another inhabit; they shall not plant, and another eat: for as the
days of a tree arethe days of my people, and mine elect shall long enjoy the work of their
hands.
23 They shall not labour in vain, nor bring forth for trouble; for they arethe seed of the blessed
of the LORD, and their offspring with them.
24 And it shall come to pass, that before they call, I will answer; and while they are yet
speaking, I will hear.
25 The wolf and the lamb shall feed together, and the lion shall eat straw like the bullock: and
dust shall bethe serpent's meat. They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain, saith
the LORD.

1 Thus saith the LORD, The heaven ismy throne, and the earth ismy footstool: where isthe
house that ye build unto me? and where isthe place of my rest?
2 For all those thingshath mine hand made, and all those thingshave been, saith the LORD: but
to this manwill I look, evento him that ispoor and of a contrite spirit, and trembleth at my
word.
3 He that killeth an ox is as ifhe slew a man; he that sacrificeth a lamb, as ifhe cut off a dog's
neck; he that offereth an oblation, as if he offeredswine's blood; he that burneth incense, as if
he blessed an idol. Yea, they have chosen their own ways, and their soul delighteth in their
abominations.
4 I also will choose their delusions, and will bring their fears upon them; because when I
called, none did answer; when I spake, they did not hear: but they did evil before mine eyes, and
chose thatin which I delighted not.
5 Hear the word of the LORD, ye that tremble at his word; Your brethren that hated you, that
cast you out for my name's sake, said, Let the LORD be glorified: but he shall appear to your joy,
and they shall be ashamed.
6 A voice of noise from the city, a voice from the temple, a voice of the LORD that rendereth
recompence to his enemies.
7 Before she travailed, she brought forth; before her pain came, she was delivered of a man
child.
8 Who hath heard such a thing? who hath seen such things? Shall the earth be made to bring
forth in one day? orshall a nation be born at once? for as soon as Zion travailed, she brought
forth her children.
9 Shall I bring to the birth, and not cause to bring forth? saith the LORD: shall I cause to bring
forth, and shut the womb? saith thy God.
10 Rejoice ye with Jerusalem, and be glad with her, all ye that love her: rejoice for joy with
her, all ye that mourn for her:
11 That ye may suck, and be satisfied with the breasts of her consolations; that ye may milk
out, and be delighted with the abundance of her glory.
12 For thus saith the LORD, Behold, I will extend peace to her like a river, and the glory of the
Gentiles like a flowing stream: then shall ye suck, ye shall be borne upon hersides, and be
dandled upon herknees.
13 As one whom his mother comforteth, so will I comfort you; and ye shall be comforted in
Jerusalem.
14 And when ye see this, your heart shall rejoice, and your bones shall flourish like an herb:
and the hand of the LORD shall be known toward his servants, and hisindignation toward his
enemies.
15 For, behold, the LORD will come with fire, and with his chariots like a whirlwind, to render
his anger with fury, and his rebuke with flames of fire.
16 For by fire and by his sword will the LORD plead with all flesh: and the slain of the LORD
shall be many.
17 They that sanctify themselves, and purify themselves in the gardens behind one treein the
midst, eating swine's flesh, and the abomination, and the mouse, shall be consumed together,
saith the LORD.
18 For I knowtheir works and their thoughts: it shall come, that I will gather all nations and
tongues; and they shall come, and see my glory.
19 And I will set a sign among them, and I will send those that escape of them unto the
nations, toTarshish, Pul, and Lud, that draw the bow, toTubal, and Javan, tothe isles afar off,
that have not heard my fame, neither have seen my glory; and they shall declare my glory among
the Gentiles.
