come upon thee.
14
Behold, they shall be as stubble; the fire shall burn them; they shall not deliver
themselves from the power of the flame:
there shall
not
be
a coal to warm at,
nor
fire to sit before
it.
15
Thus shall they be unto thee with whom thou hast laboured,
even
thy merchants, from thy
youth: they shall wander every one to his quarter; none shall save thee.
CHAPTER 48
Hear ye this, O house of Jacob, which are called by the name of Israel, and are come forth out of
the waters of Judah, which swear by the name of the L
ORD
, and make mention of the God of Israel,
but
not in truth, nor in righteousness.
2
For they call themselves of the holy city, and stay themselves
upon the God of Israel; The L
ORD
of hosts
is
his name.
3
I have declared the former things from the
beginning; and they went forth out of my mouth, and I shewed them; I did
them
suddenly, and they
came to pass.
4
Because I knew that thou
art
obstinate, and thy neck
is
an iron sinew, and thy brow
brass;
5
I have even from the beginning declared
it
to thee; before it came to pass I shewed
it
thee:
lest thou shouldest say, Mine idol hath done them, and my graven image, and my molten image,
hath commanded them.
6
Thou hast heard, see all this; and will not ye declare
it?
I have shewed
thee new things from this time, even hidden things, and thou didst not know them.
7
They are created
now, and not from the beginning; even before the day when thou heardest them not; lest thou
shouldest say, Behold, I knew them.
8
Yea, thou heardest not; yea, thou knewest not; yea, from that
time
that
thine ear was not opened: for I knew that thou wouldest deal very treacherously, and wast
called a transgressor from the womb.
9
For my name’s sake will I defer mine anger, and for my praise will I refrain for thee, that I cut
thee not off.
10
Behold, I have refined thee, but not with silver; I have chosen thee in the furnace
of affliction.
11
For mine own sake,
even
for mine own sake, will I do
it:
for how should
my name
be polluted? and I will not give my glory unto another.
12
Hearken unto me, O Jacob and Israel, my called; I
am
he; I
am
the first, I also
am
the last.
13
Mine hand also hath laid the foundation of the earth, and my right hand hath spanned the heavens:
when
I call unto them, they stand up together.
14
All ye, assemble yourselves, and hear; which
among them hath declared these
things?
The L
ORD
hath loved him: he will do his pleasure on
Babylon, and his arm
shall be on
the Chaldeans.
15
I,
even
I, have spoken; yea, I have called him:
I have brought him, and he shall make his way prosperous.
16
Come ye near unto me, hear ye this; I have not spoken in secret from the beginning; from the
time that it was, there
am
I: and now the Lord GOD, and his Spirit, hath sent me.
17
Thus saith the
L
ORD
, thy Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel; I
am
the L
ORD
thy God which teacheth thee to profit,
which leadeth thee by the way
that
thou shouldest go.
18
O that thou hadst hearkened to my
commandments! then had thy peace been as a river, and thy righteousness as the waves of the sea:
