Chap. XLI.
note
God pleading against idolaters, sheweth his powre and goodnes by his benefites
bestowed vpon the Iewes; 17. with promise of perpetual protection.
21. wheras their vaine idols can no way profite them.
1 Let note the ilands hold their peace before me, and the
Gentiles change their strength: let them come neere,
and then speake, let vs approche to iudgement together.
2 Who hath raysed the iust from the East, hath called him
that he should folow him? he shal geue the Gentiles in his
sight, and he shal obteyne kinges: he shal geue them as it
were dust to his sword, as stubble taken violently with with
the winde, to his bow.
3 He shal pursew them, he shal
-- --
passe in peace, there shal no path appeare after his feete.
4 Who hath wrought and done these thinges, calling the
generations from the begynning? I the Lord, the first and the
last I am.
5 The ilands haue seene, and haue bene afrayd,
the ends of the earth haue beene astonied, they haue approched,
and come neere.
6 Euerie one shal helpe his neighbour,
and shal say to his brother: Be strong.
7 The coppersmith striking
with the hammer encouraged him that forged at that
time, saying: It is good for sodering: and he strengthened it
with nailes, that it should not be moued.
8 And thou Israel
my seruant, Iocob whom I haue chosen, the seede of Abraham
my frend:
9 in whom I haue taken thee from the ends
of the earth, and from the far parts therof haue called thee,
and sayd to thee; Thou art my seruant, I haue chosen thee, and
haue not cast thee away.
10 Feare not, because I am with thee:
decline not, because I am thy God: I haue strengthened thee,
and haue holpen thee, and the right hand of my iust one hath
susteyned thee.
11 Behold al that fight against thee shal be confounded
and ashamed, they shal be as if they were not, and
the men shal perish that gaynesay thee.
12 Thou shalt seeke
them, and shalt not find, the men thy rebelles: they shal be as
if they were not: and as consumption the men that warre
agaynst thee.
13 Because I am the Lord thy God taking thy
hand, and saying to thee: Feare not, I haue holpen thee.
14 Feare not thou note worme of Iacob, ye that are dead of Israel:
I haue holpen thee, sayth our Lord: and thy redemer the
holie one of Israel.
15 I haue made thee as a new threshing
wayne, hauing teeth like a saw: thou shalt thresh the mountaynes,
and breake them in peeces: and shalt make the litle
hilles as dust.
16 Thou shalt fanne them, and the wind shal take
them away, and the whirlewind shal disperse them: and thou
shal reioyce in the Lord, in the holie one of Israel thou shalt
be ioyful.
17 The needie and the poore seeke for waters, and
there are none: their tongue hath bene drie with thirst. I the
Lord wil heare them, I the God of Israel wil not forsake them.
18 I wil open riuers in the high hilles, and fountaynes in the
middes of plaine fildes: I wil make the desert into pooles of
waters, and the land not passable into riuers of waters.
19 I wil
geue into the wildernes the cedar, and the thorne, and the
myrlte and the oliue tree: I wil set in the desert the firretree,
the elme, and the box tree together.
20 That they may see, and
-- --
know, and recount, and vnderstand together that the hand of
the Lord hath done this, and the holie one of Israel hath created
it.
21 Make your iudgement approche, sayth the Lord:
bring hither, if perhaps you haue any thing, sayd the king of
Iacob.
22 noteLet them come, and tel vs what thinges so euer are
to come: tel the former thinges what they haue bene: and
we wil set our hart, and shal know the later ends of them, and
tel vs the thinges that are to come.
23 Shew what thinges are to
come hereafter, and we shal know that ye are goddes. Doe
ye also good or euil, if you can: and let vs speake, and see together.
24 Behold, you are of nothing, and your worke of that
which is not: he is abomination that hath chosen you.
25 I
haue raysed vp from the North, and he shal come from the
rising of the sunne: he shal cal vpon my name, and shal bring
the magistrates as myre, and as the plasterer treading claie.
26 Who hath shewed from the beginning, that we may know:
and from the beginning that we may say: Art thou iust? There
is neyther that sheweth, nor telleth before, nor heareth your
wordes.
27 The first shal say to Sion: Loe I am present, and to
Ierusalem I wil geue an euangelist.
28 And I saw, and neither
of these was there any that would consult, and being asked
would answer a word.
29 Behold al are vniust, and their
workes vayne: their idols are wind and vanitie.
