Chap. LI.
note
God encoregeth Sion to trust in his promised comforte, by example of Abraham.
3. For the spiritual Sion, the Church of Christ, shal receiue
much grace by his Euangelical law: 12. and her children shal not feare
persecution, nor be ouercome; 23. but her enemies shal faile.
-- --
1 Heare me ye that folow that which is iust, and that
seeke our Lord: attend to note the rocke whence you are
hewen out, & to the caue of the lake from the which you are
cut out.
2 Attend to Abraham your father, and to Sara that
bare you: because I called him alone, and blessed him, & multiplied
him.
3 Our Lord therfore wil comfort Sion, and wil
comfort al the ruines therof: and he wil make her desert as
delicacies, and her wildernes as the garden of our Lord. Ioy
and gladnes shal be found in it, geuing of thankes, and voice
of prayse.
4 Attend vnto me ô my people, and my tribe heare
ye me: because a law shal proceede from me, and my iudgement
shal rest to be a light of the peoples.
5 My iust one is
nigh at hand, my sauiour is gone forth, and mine armes shal
iudge peoples: the ilands shal expect me, and shal patiently
wayte for mine arme.
6 Lift vp your eies into heauen, and
looke downe to the earth beneath: because the heauens shal
melt as smoke, and the earth shal be worne away as a garment,
and like to these thinges shal the inhabitants therof perish:
but my saluation shal be for euer, and my iustice shal not faile.
7 Heare me ye that know that which is iust, my people which
haue my law in their hart: feare ye not the reproch of men,
and be not afrayd of their blasphemies.
8 For as a garment,
so shal the worme eate them: and as wool, so shal the moth
deuoure them, but my saluation shal be for euer, and my iustice
vnto generations of generations.
9 Arise, arise, put on
strength ô arme of our Lord: arise as in the old dayes, in the
generations of worldes. noteHast not thou striken the proude,
wounded the dragon?
10 Hast not thou dried the sea, the water
of the vehement, which madest the depth of the sea a way,
that the deliuered might passe.
11 And now they that are redemed
of our Lord, shal returne, and shal come into Sion
praysing, and ioy euerlasting vpon their heades, they shal possesse
ioy and gladnes, sorrow and mourning shal flee away.
12 I, euen I my self wil comfort you: who art thou that thou
shouldest be afrayd of a mortal man, and of the sonne of man,
which as grasse so shal wither?
13 And thou hast forgotten our
Lord thy maker, which stretched out the heauens, and founded
the earth: and thou hast bene afrayd continually al the
day at the face of his furie, which afflicted thee, and had prepared
to destroy: where is now the furie of the affliction?
14 He shal quickly come going to open, and he shal not kil
-- --
vnto vtter destruction, neither shal his bread faile.
15 But I
am the Lord thy God which truble the sea, and the waues
therof doe swel, the Lord of hostes is my name.
16 I haue put
my wordes in thy mouth, and in the shadow of my hand I
haue protected thee, that thou mightest plant the heauens, and
found the earth: & mightest say to Sion: Thou art my people.
17 Be lifted vp, be lifted vp, arise Ierusalem, which hast drunken
of the hand of our Lord the cuppe of his wrath: euen to
the botome of the cuppe of drousines hast thou drunke, euen
to the dregges.
18 There is none that can vphold her of al the
children, that she hath borne: and there is none that taketh
her by the hand of al the children, that she hath brought vp.
19 There are two thinges which haue happened to thee: who
shal be sorie for thee? noteSpoile, and destruction, and famine,
and the sword, who shal comfort thee?
20 Thy children are
throwen forth, they haue slept in the head of al wayes, as the
orix that is snared: ful of the indignation of our Lord, of the
rebuke of thy God.
21 Therefore heare this poore little one,
and drunken not of wine.
22 Thus sayth thy dominatour our
Lord, and thy God, who hath fought for his people: Behold
I haue taken out of thy hand the cuppe of drousines, the botome
of the cuppe of mine indignation, thou shalt not adde
to drinke it any more.
23 And I wil put it in their hand, that
haue humbled thee, and haue sayd to thy soule: Bow downe,
that we may passe ouer: and thou hast layd thy bodie as the
gronnd, and as a way to them that passe ouer?
