Isa.47.1

"Get off your high horse and sit in the dirt, virgin daughter of Babylon. No more throne for you--sit on the ground, daughter of the Chaldeans. Nobody will be calling you "charming' and "alluring' anymore. Get used to it.

Isa.47.1

"Go down, sit in the dust, Virgin Daughter of Babylon; sit on the ground without a throne, Daughter of the Babylonians. No more will you be called tender or delicate.

Isa.47.1

"Come down and sit in the dust, O virgin daughter of Babylon; Sit on the ground without a throne, O daughter of the Chaldeans! For you shall no more be called Tender and delicate.

Isa.47.1

"Come, Babylon, unconquered one, sit in the dust. For your days of glory, pomp, and honor have ended. O daughter of Babylonia, never again will you be the lovely princess, tender and delicate.

Isa.47.2

Get a job, any old job: Clean gutters, scrub toilets. Hock your gowns and scarves, put on overalls--the party's over.

Isa.47.2

Take millstones and grind flour; take off your veil. Lift up your skirts, bare your legs, and wade through the streams.

Isa.47.2

Take the millstones and grind meal. Remove your veil, Take off the skirt, Uncover the thigh, Pass through the rivers.

Isa.47.2

Take heavy millstones and grind the corn. Remove your veil and strip off your robe. Expose yourself to public view.

Isa.47.3

Your nude body will be on public display, exposed to vulgar taunts. It's vengeance time, and I'm taking vengeance. No one gets let off the hook."

Isa.47.3

Your nakedness will be exposed and your shame uncovered. I will take vengeance; I will spare no one."

Isa.47.3

Your nakedness shall be uncovered, Yes, your shame will be seen; I will take vengeance, And I will not arbitrate with a man."

Isa.47.3

You will be naked and burdened with shame. I will take vengeance against you and will not negotiate."

Isa.47.4

Our Redeemer speaks, named GOD-of-the-Angel-Armies, The Holy of Israel:

Isa.47.4

Our Redeemer-the LORD Almighty is his name- is the Holy One of Israel.

Isa.47.4

As for our Redeemer, the LORD of hosts is His name, The Holy One of Israel.

Isa.47.4

Our Redeemer, whose name is the LORD Almighty, is the Holy One of Israel.

Isa.47.5

"Shut up and get out of the way, daughter of Chaldeans. You'll no longer be called "First Lady of the Kingdoms.'

Isa.47.5

"Sit in silence, go into darkness, Daughter of the Babylonians; no more will you be called queen of kingdoms.

Isa.47.5

"Sit in silence, and go into darkness, O daughter of the Chaldeans; For you shall no longer be called The Lady of Kingdoms.

Isa.47.5

"O daughter of Babylonia, sit now in darkness and silence. Never again will you be known as the queen of kingdoms.

Isa.47.6

I was fed up with my people, thoroughly disgusted with my progeny. I turned them over to you, but you had no compassion. You put old men and women to cruel, hard labor.

Isa.47.6

I was angry with my people and desecrated my inheritance; I gave them into your hand, and you showed them no mercy. Even on the aged you laid a very heavy yoke.

Isa.47.6

I was angry with My people; I have profaned My inheritance, And given them into your hand. You showed them no mercy; On the elderly you laid your yoke very heavily.

Isa.47.6

For I was angry with my chosen people and began their punishment by letting them fall into your hands. But you, Babylon, showed them no mercy. You have forced even the elderly to carry heavy burdens.

Isa.47.7

You said, "I'm the First Lady. I'll always be the pampered darling.' You took nothing seriously, took nothing to heart, never gave tomorrow a thought.

Isa.47.7

You said, 'I will continue forever- the eternal queen!' But you did not consider these things or reflect on what might happen.

Isa.47.7

And you said, "I shall be a lady forever,' So that you did not take these things to heart, Nor remember the latter end of them.

Isa.47.7

You thought, `I will reign forever as queen of the world!' You did not care at all about my people or think about the consequences of your actions.

Isa.47.8

Well, start thinking, playgirl. You're acting like the center of the universe, Smugly saying to yourself, "I'm Number One. There's nobody but me. I'll never be a widow, I'll never lose my children.'

Isa.47.8

"Now then, listen, you wanton creature, lounging in your security and saying to yourself, 'I am, and there is none besides me. I will never be a widow or suffer the loss of children.'

Isa.47.8

"Therefore hear this now, you who are given to pleasures, Who dwell securely, Who say in your heart, "I am, and there is no one else besides me; I shall not sit as a widow, Nor shall I know the loss of children';

Isa.47.8

"You are a pleasure-crazy kingdom, living at ease and feeling secure, bragging as if you were the greatest in the world! You say, `I'm self-sufficient and not accountable to anyone! I will never be a widow or lose my children.'

Isa.47.9

Those two things are going to hit you both at once, suddenly, on the same day: Spouse and children gone, a total loss, despite your many enchantments and charms.

Isa.47.9

Both of these will overtake you in a moment, on a single day: loss of children and widowhood. They will come upon you in full measure, in spite of your many sorceries and all your potent spells.

Isa.47.9

But these two things shall come to you In a moment, in one day: The loss of children, and widowhood. They shall come upon you in their fullness Because of the multitude of your sorceries, For the great abundance of your enchantments.

Isa.47.9

Well, those two things will come upon you in a moment: widowhood and the loss of your children. Yes, these calamities will come upon you, despite all your witchcraft and magic.

Isa.47.10

You were so confident and comfortable in your evil life, saying, "No one sees me.' You thought you knew so much, had everything figured out. What delusion! Smugly telling yourself, "I'm Number One. There's nobody but me.'

Isa.47.10

You have trusted in your wickedness and have said, 'No one sees me.' Your wisdom and knowledge mislead you when you say to yourself, 'I am, and there is none besides me.'

Isa.47.10

"For you have trusted in your wickedness; You have said, "No one sees me'; Your wisdom and your knowledge have warped you; And you have said in your heart, "I am, and there is no one else besides me.'

Isa.47.10

"You felt secure in all your wickedness. `No one sees me,' you said. Your `wisdom' and `knowledge' have caused you to turn away from me and claim, `I am self-sufficient and not accountable to anyone!'

Isa.47.11

Ruin descends--you can't charm it away. Disaster strikes--you can't cast it off with spells. Catastrophe, sudden and total--and you're totally at sea, totally bewildered!

Isa.47.11

Disaster will come upon you, and you will not know how to conjure it away. A calamity will fall upon you that you cannot ward off with a ransom; a catastrophe you cannot foresee will suddenly come upon you.

Isa.47.11

Therefore evil shall come upon you; You shall not know from where it arises. And trouble shall fall upon you; You will not be able to put it off. And desolation shall come upon you suddenly, Which you shall not know.

Isa.47.11

So disaster will overtake you suddenly, and you won't be able to charm it away. Calamity will fall upon you, and you won't be able to buy your way out. A catastrophe will arise so fast that you won't know what hit you.

Isa.47.12

But don't give up. From your great repertoire of enchantments there must be one you haven't yet tried. You've been at this a long time. Surely something will work.

Isa.47.12

"Keep on, then, with your magic spells and with your many sorceries, which you have labored at since childhood. Perhaps you will succeed, perhaps you will cause terror.

Isa.47.12

"Stand now with your enchantments And the multitude of your sorceries, In which you have labored from your youth-- Perhaps you will be able to profit, Perhaps you will prevail.

Isa.47.12

"Call out the demon hordes you have worshiped all these years. Ask them to help you strike terror into the hearts of people once again.

Isa.47.13

I know you're exhausted trying out remedies, but don't give up. Call in the astrologers and stargazers. They're good at this. Surely they can work up something!

Isa.47.13

All the counsel you have received has only worn you out! Let your astrologers come forward, those stargazers who make predictions month by month, let them save you from what is coming upon you.

Isa.47.13

You are wearied in the multitude of your counsels; Let now the astrologers, the stargazers, And the monthly prognosticators Stand up and save you From what shall come upon you.

Isa.47.13

You have more than enough advisers, astrologers, and stargazers. Let them stand up and save you from what the future holds.

Isa.47.14

"Fat chance. You'd be grasping at straws that are already in the fire, A fire that is even now raging. Your "experts' are in it and won't get out. It's not a fire for cooking venison stew, not a fire to warm you on a winter night!

Isa.47.14

Surely they are like stubble; the fire will burn them up. They cannot even save themselves from the power of the flame. Here are no coals to warm anyone; here is no fire to sit by.

Isa.47.14

Behold, they shall be as stubble, The fire shall burn them; They shall not deliver themselves From the power of the flame; It shall not be a coal to be warmed by, Nor a fire to sit before!

Isa.47.14

But they are as useless as dried grass burning in a fire. They cannot even save themselves! You will get no help from them at all. Their hearth is not a place to sit for warmth.

Isa.47.15

That's the fate of your friends in sorcery, your magician buddies you've been in cahoots with all your life. They reel, confused, bumping into one another. None of them bother to help you.

Isa.47.15

That is all they can do for you- these you have labored with and trafficked with since childhood. Each of them goes on in his error; there is not one that can save you.

Isa.47.15

Thus shall they be to you With whom you have labored, Your merchants from your youth; They shall wander each one to his quarter. No one shall save you.

Isa.47.15

And all your friends, those with whom you have done business since childhood, will slip away and disappear, unable to help.

Isa.48.1

"And now listen to this, family of Jacob, you who are called by the name Israel: Who got you started in the loins of Judah, you who use GOD's name to back up your promises and pray to the God of Israel? But do you mean it? Do you live like it?

Isa.48.1

"Listen to this, O house of Jacob, you who are called by the name of Israel and come from the line of Judah, you who take oaths in the name of the LORD and invoke the God of Israel- but not in truth or righteousness-

Isa.48.1

"Hear this, O house of Jacob, Who are called by the name of Israel, And have come forth from the wellsprings of Judah; Who swear by the name of the LORD, And make mention of the God of Israel, But not in truth or in righteousness;

Isa.48.1

"Listen to me, O family of Jacob, who are called by the name of Israel and born into the family of Judah. Listen, you who take oaths in the name of the LORD and call on the God of Israel. You don't follow through on any of your promises,

Isa.48.2

You claim to be citizens of the Holy City; you act as though you lean on the God of Israel, named GOD-of-the-Angel-Armies.

Isa.48.2

you who call yourselves citizens of the holy city and rely on the God of Israel- the LORD Almighty is his name:

Isa.48.2

For they call themselves after the holy city, And lean on the God of Israel; The LORD of hosts is His name:

Isa.48.2

even though you call yourself the holy city and talk about depending on the God of Israel, whose name is the LORD Almighty.

Isa.48.3

For a long time now, I've let you in on the way I work: I told you what I was going to do beforehand, then I did it and it was done, and that's that.

Isa.48.3

I foretold the former things long ago, my mouth announced them and I made them known; then suddenly I acted, and they came to pass.

Isa.48.3

"I have declared the former things from the beginning; They went forth from My mouth, and I caused them to hear it. Suddenly I did them, and they came to pass.

Isa.48.3

Time and again I warned you about what was going to happen in the future. Then suddenly I took action, and all my predictions came true.

Isa.48.4

I know you're a bunch of hardheads, obstinate and flint-faced,

Isa.48.4

For I knew how stubborn you were; the sinews of your neck were iron, your forehead was bronze.

Isa.48.4

Because I knew that you were obstinate, And your neck was an iron sinew, And your brow bronze,

Isa.48.4

"I know how stubborn and obstinate you are. Your necks are as unbending as iron. You are as hardheaded as bronze.

Isa.48.5

So I got a running start and began telling you what was going on before it even happened. That is why you can't say, "My god-idol did this.'"My favorite god-carving commanded this.'

Isa.48.5

Therefore I told you these things long ago; before they happened I announced them to you so that you could not say, 'My idols did them; my wooden image and metal god ordained them.'

Isa.48.5

Even from the beginning I have declared it to you; Before it came to pass I proclaimed it to you, Lest you should say, "My idol has done them, And my carved image and my molded image Have commanded them.'

Isa.48.5

That is why I told you ahead of time what I was going to do. That way, you could never say, `My idols did it. My wooden image and metal god commanded it to happen!'

Isa.48.6

You have all this evidence confirmed by your own eyes and ears. Shouldn't you be talking about it? And that was just the beginning. I have a lot more to tell you, things you never knew existed.

Isa.48.6

You have heard these things; look at them all. Will you not admit them? "From now on I will tell you of new things, of hidden things unknown to you.

Isa.48.6

"You have heard; See all this. And will you not declare it? I have made you hear new things from this time, Even hidden things, and you did not know them.

Isa.48.6

You have heard my predictions and seen them fulfilled, but you refuse to admit it. Now I will tell you new things I have not mentioned before, secrets you have not yet heard.

Isa.48.7

This isn't a variation on the same old thing. This is new, brand-new, something you'd never guess or dream up. When you hear this you won't be able to say, "I knew that all along.'

Isa.48.7

They are created now, and not long ago; you have not heard of them before today. So you cannot say, 'Yes, I knew of them.'

Isa.48.7

They are created now and not from the beginning; And before this day you have not heard them, Lest you should say, "Of course I knew them.'

Isa.48.7

They are brand new, not things from the past. So you cannot say, `We knew that all the time!'

Isa.48.8

You've never been good listeners to me. You have a history of ignoring me, A sorry track record of fickle attachments--rebels from the womb.

Isa.48.8

You have neither heard nor understood; from of old your ear has not been open. Well do I know how treacherous you are; you were called a rebel from birth.

Isa.48.8

Surely you did not hear, Surely you did not know; Surely from long ago your ear was not opened. For I knew that you would deal very treacherously, And were called a transgressor from the womb.

Isa.48.8

"Yes, I will tell you of things that are entirely new, for I know so well what traitors you are. You have been rebels from your earliest childhood, rotten through and through.

Isa.48.9

But out of the sheer goodness of my heart, because of who I am, I keep a tight rein on my anger and hold my temper. I don't wash my hands of you.

Isa.48.9

For my own name's sake I delay my wrath; for the sake of my praise I hold it back from you, so as not to cut you off.

Isa.48.9

"For My name's sake I will defer My anger, And for My praise I will restrain it from you, So that I do not cut you off.

Isa.48.9

Yet for my own sake and for the honor of my name, I will hold back my anger and not wipe you out.

Isa.48.10

Do you see what I've done? I've refined you, but not without fire. I've tested you like silver in the furnace of affliction.

Isa.48.10

See, I have refined you, though not as silver; I have tested you in the furnace of affliction.

Isa.48.10

Behold, I have refined you, but not as silver; I have tested you in the furnace of affliction.

Isa.48.10

I have refined you but not in the way silver is refined. Rather, I have refined you in the furnace of suffering.

Isa.48.11

Out of myself, simply because of who I am, I do what I do. I have my reputation to keep up. I'm not playing second fiddle to either gods or people.

Isa.48.11

For my own sake, for my own sake, I do this. How can I let myself be defamed? I will not yield my glory to another.

Isa.48.11

For My own sake, for My own sake, I will do it; For how should My name be profaned? And I will not give My glory to another.

Isa.48.11

I will rescue you for my sake--yes, for my own sake! That way, the pagan nations will not be able to claim that their gods have conquered me. I will not let them have my glory!

Isa.48.12

"Listen, Jacob. Listen, Israel--I'm the One who named you! I'm the One. I got things started and, yes, I'll wrap them up.

Isa.48.12

"Listen to me, O Jacob, Israel, whom I have called: I am he; I am the first and I am the last.

Isa.48.12

"Listen to Me, O Jacob, And Israel, My called: I am He, I am the First, I am also the Last.

Isa.48.12

"Listen to me, O family of Jacob, Israel my chosen one! I alone am God, the First and the Last.

Isa.48.13

Earth is my work, handmade. And the skies--I made them too, horizon to horizon. When I speak, they're on their feet, at attention.

Isa.48.13

My own hand laid the foundations of the earth, and my right hand spread out the heavens; when I summon them, they all stand up together.

Isa.48.13

Indeed My hand has laid the foundation of the earth, And My right hand has stretched out the heavens; When I call to them, They stand up together.

Isa.48.13

It was my hand that laid the foundations of the earth. The palm of my right hand spread out the heavens above. I spoke, and they came into being.

Isa.48.14

"Come everybody, gather around, listen: Who among the gods has delivered the news? I, GOD, love this man Cyrus, and I'm using him to do what I want with Babylon.

Isa.48.14

"Come together, all of you, and listen: Which of the idols has foretold these things? The LORD's chosen ally will carry out his purpose against Babylon; his arm will be against the Babylonians.

Isa.48.14

"All of you, assemble yourselves, and hear! Who among them has declared these things? The LORD loves him; He shall do His pleasure on Babylon, And His arm shall be against the Chaldeans.

Isa.48.14

"Have any of your idols ever told you this? Come, all of you, and listen: `The LORD has chosen Cyrus as his ally. He will use him to put an end to the empire of Babylon, destroying the Babylonian armies.'

Isa.48.15

I, yes I, have spoken. I've called him. I've brought him here. He'll be successful.

Isa.48.15

I, even I, have spoken; yes, I have called him. I will bring him, and he will succeed in his mission.

Isa.48.15

I, even I, have spoken; Yes, I have called him, I have brought him, and his way will prosper.

Isa.48.15

I have said it: I am calling Cyrus! I will send him on this errand and will help him succeed.

Isa.48.16

Come close, listen carefully: I've never kept secrets from you. I've always been present with you." And now, the Master, GOD, sends me and his Spirit

Isa.48.16

"Come near me and listen to this: "From the first announcement I have not spoken in secret; at the time it happens, I am there." And now the Sovereign LORD has sent me, with his Spirit.

Isa.48.16

"Come near to Me, hear this: I have not spoken in secret from the beginning; From the time that it was, I was there. And now the Lord GOD and His Spirit Have sent Me."

Isa.48.16

Come closer and listen. I have always told you plainly what would happen so you would have no trouble understanding." And now the Sovereign LORD and his Spirit have sent me with this message:

Isa.48.17

with this Message from GOD, your Redeemer, The Holy of Israel: "I am GOD, your God, who teaches you how to live right and well. I show you what to do, where to go.

Isa.48.17

This is what the LORD says- your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel: "I am the LORD your God, who teaches you what is best for you, who directs you in the way you should go.

Isa.48.17

Thus says the LORD, your Redeemer, The Holy One of Israel: "I am the LORD your God, Who teaches you to profit, Who leads you by the way you should go.

Isa.48.17

"The LORD, your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel, says: I am the LORD your God, who teaches you what is good and leads you along the paths you should follow.

Isa.48.18

If you had listened all along to what I told you, your life would have flowed full like a river, blessings rolling in like waves from the sea.

Isa.48.18

If only you had paid attention to my commands, your peace would have been like a river, your righteousness like the waves of the sea.

Isa.48.18

Oh, that you had heeded My commandments! Then your peace would have been like a river, And your righteousness like the waves of the sea.

Isa.48.18

Oh, that you had listened to my commands! Then you would have had peace flowing like a gentle river and righteousness rolling like waves.

Isa.48.19

Children and grandchildren are like sand, your progeny like grains of sand. There would be no end of them, no danger of losing touch with me."

Isa.48.19

Your descendants would have been like the sand, your children like its numberless grains; their name would never be cut off nor destroyed from before me."

Isa.48.19

Your descendants also would have been like the sand, And the offspring of your body like the grains of sand; His name would not have been cut off Nor destroyed from before Me."

Isa.48.19

Then you would have become as numerous as the sands along the seashore--too many to count! There would have been no need for your destruction."

Isa.48.20

Get out of Babylon! Run from the Babylonians! Shout the news. Broadcast it. Let the world know, the whole world. Tell them, "GOD redeemed his dear servant Jacob!"

Isa.48.20

Leave Babylon, flee from the Babylonians! Announce this with shouts of joy and proclaim it. Send it out to the ends of the earth; say, "The LORD has redeemed his servant Jacob."

Isa.48.20

Go forth from Babylon! Flee from the Chaldeans! With a voice of singing, Declare, proclaim this, Utter it to the end of the earth; Say, "The LORD has redeemed His servant Jacob!"

Isa.48.20

Yet even now, be free from your captivity! Leave Babylon and the Babylonians, singing as you go! Shout to the ends of the earth that the LORD has redeemed his servants, the people of Israel.

Isa.48.21

They weren't thirsty when he led them through the deserts. He made water pour out of the rock; he split the rock and the water gushed.

Isa.48.21

They did not thirst when he led them through the deserts; he made water flow for them from the rock; he split the rock and water gushed out.

Isa.48.21

And they did not thirst When He led them through the deserts; He caused the waters to flow from the rock for them; He also split the rock, and the waters gushed out.

Isa.48.21

They were not thirsty when he led them through the desert. He divided the rock, and water gushed out for them to drink.

Isa.48.22

"There is no peace," says GOD, "for the wicked."

Isa.48.22

"There is no peace," says the LORD, "for the wicked."

Isa.48.22

"There is no peace," says the LORD, "for the wicked."

Isa.48.22

"But there is no peace for the wicked," says the LORD.

Isa.49.1

Listen, far-flung islands, pay attention, faraway people: GOD put me to work from the day I was born. The moment I entered the world he named me.

Isa.49.1

Listen to me, you islands; hear this, you distant nations: Before I was born the LORD called me; from my birth he has made mention of my name.

Isa.49.1

"Listen, O coastlands, to Me, And take heed, you peoples from afar! The LORD has called Me from the womb; From the matrix of My mother He has made mention of My name.

Isa.49.1

Listen to me, all of you in far-off lands! The LORD called me before my birth; from within the womb he called me by name.

Isa.49.2

He gave me speech that would cut and penetrate. He kept his hand on me to protect me. He made me his straight arrow and hid me in his quiver.

Isa.49.2

He made my mouth like a sharpened sword, in the shadow of his hand he hid me; he made me into a polished arrow and concealed me in his quiver.

Isa.49.2

And He has made My mouth like a sharp sword; In the shadow of His hand He has hidden Me, And made Me a polished shaft; In His quiver He has hidden Me."

Isa.49.2

He made my words of judgment as sharp as a sword. He has hidden me in the shadow of his hand. I am like a sharp arrow in his quiver.

Isa.49.3

He said to me, "You're my dear servant, Israel, through whom I'll shine."

Isa.49.3

He said to me, "You are my servant, Israel, in whom I will display my splendor."

Isa.49.3

"And He said to me, "You are My servant, O Israel, In whom I will be glorified.'

Isa.49.3

He said to me, "You are my servant, Israel, and you will bring me glory."

Isa.49.4

But I said, "I've worked for nothing. I've nothing to show for a life of hard work. Nevertheless, I'll let GOD have the last word. I'll let him pronounce his verdict."

Isa.49.4

But I said, "I have labored to no purpose; I have spent my strength in vain and for nothing. Yet what is due me is in the LORD's hand, and my reward is with my God."

Isa.49.4

Then I said, "I have labored in vain, I have spent my strength for nothing and in vain; Yet surely my just reward is with the LORD, And my work with my God."'

Isa.49.4

I replied, "But my work all seems so useless! I have spent my strength for nothing and to no purpose at all. Yet I leave it all in the LORD's hand; I will trust God for my reward."

Isa.49.5

"And now," GOD says, this God who took me in hand from the moment of birth to be his servant, To bring Jacob back home to him, to set a reunion for Israel--What an honor for me in GOD's eyes! That God should be my strength!

Isa.49.5

And now the LORD says- he who formed me in the womb to be his servant to bring Jacob back to him and gather Israel to himself, for I am honored in the eyes of the LORD and my God has been my strength-

Isa.49.5

"And now the LORD says, Who formed Me from the womb to be His Servant, To bring Jacob back to Him, So that Israel is gathered to Him (For I shall be glorious in the eyes of the LORD, And My God shall be My strength),

Isa.49.5

And now the LORD speaks--he who formed me in my mother's womb to be his servant, who commissioned me to bring his people of Israel back to him. The LORD has honored me, and my God has given me strength.

Isa.49.6

He says, "But that's not a big enough job for my servant--just to recover the tribes of Jacob, merely to round up the strays of Israel. I'm setting you up as a light for the nations so that my salvation becomes global!"

Isa.49.6

he says: "It is too small a thing for you to be my servant to restore the tribes of Jacob and bring back those of Israel I have kept. I will also make you a light for the Gentiles, that you may bring my salvation to the ends of the earth."

Isa.49.6

Indeed He says, "It is too small a thing that You should be My Servant To raise up the tribes of Jacob, And to restore the preserved ones of Israel; I will also give You as a light to the Gentiles, That You should be My salvation to the ends of the earth."'

Isa.49.6

He says, "You will do more than restore the people of Israel to me. I will make you a light to the Gentiles, and you will bring my salvation to the ends of the earth."

Isa.49.7

GOD, Redeemer of Israel, The Holy of Israel, says to the despised one, kicked around by the nations, slave labor to the ruling class: "Kings will see, get to their feet--the princes, too--and then fall on their faces in homage Because of GOD, who has faithfully kept his word, The Holy of Israel, who has chosen you."

Isa.49.7

This is what the LORD says- the Redeemer and Holy One of Israel- to him who was despised and abhorred by the nation, to the servant of rulers: "Kings will see you and rise up, princes will see and bow down, because of the LORD, who is faithful, the Holy One of Israel, who has chosen you."

Isa.49.7

Thus says the LORD, The Redeemer of Israel, their Holy One, To Him whom man despises, To Him whom the nation abhors, To the Servant of rulers: "Kings shall see and arise, Princes also shall worship, Because of the LORD who is faithful, The Holy One of Israel; And He has chosen You."

Isa.49.7

The LORD, the Redeemer and Holy One of Israel, says to the one who is despised and rejected by a nation, to the one who is the servant of rulers: "Kings will stand at attention when you pass by. Princes will bow low because the LORD has chosen you. He, the faithful LORD, the Holy One of Israel, chooses you."
