ISA-40:1 Comfort ye, comfort ye my people, saith your God.
ISA-40:2 Speak ye comfortably to Jerusalem, and cry unto her,
that her warfare is accomplished, that her iniquity is pardoned:
for she hath received of the LORD's hand double for all her sins.
ISA-40:3 The voice of him that crieth in the wilderness, Prepare
ye the way of the LORD, make straight in the desert a highway
for our God.
ISA-40:4 Every valley shall be exalted, and every mountain and
hill shall be made low: and the crooked shall be made straight,
and the rough places plain:
ISA-40:5 And the glory of the LORD shall be revealed, and all
flesh shall see [it] together: for the mouth of the LORD hath
spoken [it].
ISA-40:6 The voice said, Cry. And he said, What shall I cry? All
flesh [is] grass, and all the goodliness thereof [is] as the
flower of the field:
ISA-40:7 The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: because the
spirit of the LORD bloweth upon it: surely the people [is] grass.
ISA-40:8 The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: but the word of
our God shall stand for ever.
ISA-40:9 O Zion, that bringest good tidings, get thee up into
the high mountain; O Jerusalem, that bringest good tidings, lift
up thy voice with strength; lift [it] up, be not afraid; say
unto the cities of Judah, Behold your God!
ISA-40:10 Behold, the Lord GOD will come with strong [hand], and
his arm shall rule for him: behold, his reward [is] with him,
and his work before him.
ISA-40:11 He shall feed his flock like a shepherd: he shall
gather the lambs with his arm, and carry [them] in his bosom,
[and] shall gently lead those that are with young.
ISA-40:12 Who hath measured the waters in the hollow of his hand,
and meted out heaven with the span, and comprehended the dust
of the earth in a measure, and weighed the mountains in scales,
and the hills in a balance?
ISA-40:13 Who hath directed the Spirit of the LORD, or [being]
his counsellor hath taught him?
ISA-40:14 With whom took he counsel, and [who] instructed him,
and taught him in the path of judgment, and taught him knowledge,
and showed to him the way of understanding?
ISA-40:15 Behold, the nations [are] as a drop of a bucket, and
are counted as the small dust of the balance: behold, he taketh
up the isles as a very little thing.
ISA-40:16 And Lebanon [is] not sufficient to burn, nor the
beasts thereof sufficient for a burnt offering.
ISA-40:17 All nations before him [are] as nothing; and they are
counted to him less than nothing, and vanity.
ISA-40:18 To whom then will ye liken God? or what likeness will
ye compare unto him?
ISA-40:19 The workman melteth a graven image, and the goldsmith
spreadeth it over with gold, and casteth silver chains.
ISA-40:20 He that [is] so impoverished that he hath no oblation
chooseth a tree [that] will not rot; he seeketh unto him a
cunning workman to prepare a graven image, [that] shall not be
moved.
ISA-40:21 Have ye not known? have ye not heard? hath it not been
told you from the beginning? have ye not understood from the
foundations of the earth?
ISA-40:22 [It is] he that sitteth upon the circle of the earth,
and the inhabitants thereof [are] as grasshoppers; that
stretcheth out the heavens as a curtain, and spreadeth them out
as a tent to dwell in:
ISA-40:23 That bringeth the princes to nothing; he maketh the
judges of the earth as vanity.
ISA-40:24 Yea, they shall not be planted; yea, they shall not be
sown: yea, their stock shall not take root in the earth: and he
shall also blow upon them, and they shall wither, and the
whirlwind shall take them away as stubble.
ISA-40:25 To whom then will ye liken me, or shall I be equal?
saith the Holy One.
ISA-40:26 Lift up your eyes on high, and behold who hath created
these [things], that bringeth out their host by number: he
calleth them all by names by the greatness of his might, for
that [he is] strong in power; not one faileth.
ISA-40:27 Why sayest thou, O Jacob, and speakest, O Israel, My
way is hid from the LORD, and my judgment is passed over from my
God?
ISA-40:28 Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard, [that] the
everlasting God, the LORD, the Creator of the ends of the earth,
fainteth not, neither is weary? [there is] no searching of his
understanding.
ISA-40:29 He giveth power to the faint; and to [them that have]
no might he increaseth strength.
ISA-40:30 Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the
young men shall utterly fall:
ISA-40:31 But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew [their]
strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall
run, and not be weary; [and] they shall walk, and not faint.
