Hearken to me, O Jacob, and thou Israel whom I call: I am he, I am the first, and I am the last. 13My hand also hath founded the earth, and my right hand hath measured the heavens: I shall call them, and they shall stand together. 14Assemble yourselves together, all you, and hear: who among them hath declared these things? the Lord hath loved him, he will do his pleasure in Babylon, and his arm shall be on the Chaldeans. 15I, even I have spoken and called him: I have brought him, and his way is made prosperous. 16Come ye near unto me, and hear this: I have not spoken in secret from the beginning: from the time before it was done, I was there, and now the Lord God hath sent me, and his spirit. 17Thus saith the Lord thy redeemer, the Holy One of Israel: I am the Lord thy God that teach thee profitable things, that govern thee in the way that thou walkest. 18O that thou hadst hearkened to my commandments: thy peace had been as a river, and thy justice as the waves of the sea, 19And thy seed had been as the sand, and the offspring of thy bowels like the gravel thereof: his name should not have perished, nor have been destroyed from before my face. 20Come forth out of Babylon, flee ye from the Chaldeans, declare it with the voice of joy: make this to be heard, and speak it out even to the ends of the earth. Say: The Lord hath redeemed his servant Jacob. 21They thirsted not in the desert, when he led them out: he brought forth water out of the rock for them, and he clove the rock, and the waters gushed out. 22There is no peace to the wicked, saith the Lord.
