Isaiah - Chapter: 40

>
40:1Comfort ye, comfort ye my people, saith your God.
40:2Speak 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.
40:3The 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.
40:4Every 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:
40:5And the glory of the LORD shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together: for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken it.
40:6The 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:
40:7The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: because the spirit of the LORD bloweth upon it: surely the people is grass.
40:8The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: but the word of our God shall stand for ever.
40:9O 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!
40:10Behold, 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.
40:11He 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.
40:12Who 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?
40:13Who hath directed the Spirit of the LORD, or being his counsellor hath taught him?
40:14With whom took he counsel, and who instructed him, and taught him in the path of judgment, and taught him knowledge, and shewed to him the way of understanding?
40:15Behold, 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.
40:16And Lebanon is not sufficient to burn, nor the beasts thereof sufficient for a burnt offering.
40:17All nations before him are as nothing; and they are counted to him less than nothing, and vanity.
40:18To whom then will ye liken God? or what likeness will ye compare unto him?
40:19The workman melteth a graven image, and the goldsmith spreadeth it over with gold, and casteth silver chains.
40:20He 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.
40:21Have 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?
40:22It 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:
40:23That bringeth the princes to nothing; he maketh the judges of the earth as vanity.
40:24Yea, 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.
40:25To whom then will ye liken me, or shall I be equal? saith the Holy One.
40:26Lift 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.
40:27Why sayest thou, O Jacob, and speakest, O Israel, My way is hid from the LORD, and my judgment is passed over from my God?
40:28Hast 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.
40:29He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increaseth strength.
40:30Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall:
40:31But 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.

 

40:1נחמו נחמו עמי יאמר אלהיכם׃
40:2דברו על לב ירושׁלם וקראו אליה כי מלאה צבאה כי נרצה עונה כי לקחה מיד יהוה כפלים בכל חטאתיה׃

40:10הנה אדני יהוה בחזק יבוא וזרעו משׁלה לו הנה שׂכרו אתו ופעלתו לפניו׃

40:21הלוא תדעו הלוא תשׁמעו הלוא הגד מראשׁ לכם הלוא הבינתם מוסדות הארץ׃
40:22הישׁב על חוג הארץ וישׁביה כחגבים הנוטה כדק שׁמים וימתחם כאהל לשׁבת׃
40:23הנותן רוזנים לאין שׁפטי ארץ כתהו עשׂה׃
40:24אף בל נטעו אף בל זרעו אף בל שׁרשׁ בארץ גזעם וגם נשׁף בהם ויבשׁו וסערה כקשׁ תשׂאם׃
40:25ואל מי תדמיוני ואשׁוה יאמר קדושׁ׃
40:26שׂאו מרום עיניכם וראו מי ברא אלה המוציא במספר צבאם לכלם בשׁם יקרא מרב אונים ואמיץ כח אישׁ לא נעדר׃
40:27למה תאמר יעקב ותדבר ישׂראל נסתרה דרכי מיהוה ומאלהי משׁפטי יעבור׃
40:28הלוא ידעת אם לא שׁמעת אלהי עולם יהוה בורא קצות הארץ לא ייעף ולא ייגע אין חקר לתבונתו׃
40:29נתן ליעף כח ולאין אונים עצמה ירבה׃
40:30ויעפו נערים ויגעו ובחורים כשׁול יכשׁלו׃
40:31וקוי יהוה יחליפו כח יעלו אבר כנשׁרים ירוצו ולא ייגעו ילכו ולא ייעפו׃

 

40:1Comfort ye, comfort ye, My people, saith your God.
40:2Speak to the heart of Jerusalem, and call to her, That her warfare hath been completed, That accepted hath been her punishment, That she hath received from the hand of Jehovah Double for all her sins.
40:3A voice is crying -- in a wilderness -- Prepare ye the way of Jehovah, Make straight in a desert a highway to our God.
40:4Every valley is raised up, And every mountain and hill become low, And the crooked place hath become a plain, And the entangled places a valley.
40:5And revealed hath been the honour of Jehovah, And seen `it' have all flesh together, For the mouth of Jehovah hath spoken.
40:6A voice is saying, `Call,' And he said, `What do I call?' All flesh `is' grass, and all its goodliness `is' As a flower of the field:
40:7Withered hath grass, faded the flower, For the Spirit of Jehovah blew upon it, Surely the people `is' grass;
40:8Withered hath grass, faded the flower, But a word of our God riseth for ever.
40:9On a high mountain get thee up, O Zion, Proclaiming tidings, Lift up with power thy voice, O Jerusalem, proclaiming tidings, Lift up, fear not, say to cities of Judah, `Lo, your God.'
40:10Lo, the Lord Jehovah with strength cometh, And His arm is ruling for Him, Lo, His hire `is' with Him, and His wage before Him.
40:11As a shepherd His flock He feedeth, With His arm He gathereth lambs, And in His bosom He carrieth `them': Suckling ones He leadeth.
40:12Who hath measured in the hollow of his hand the waters? And the heavens by a span hath meted out, And comprehended in a measure the dust of the earth, And hath weighed in scales the mountains, And the hills in a balance?
40:13Who hath meted out the Spirit of Jehovah, And, `being' His counsellor, doth teach Him!
40:14With whom consulted He, That he causeth Him to understand? And teacheth Him in the path of judgment, And teacheth Him knowledge? And the way of understanding causeth Him to know?
40:15Lo, nations as a drop from a bucket, And as small dust of the balance, have been reckoned, Lo, isles as a small thing He taketh up.
40:16And Lebanon is not sufficient to burn, Nor its beasts sufficient for a burnt-offering.
40:17All the nations `are' as nothing before Him, Less than nothing and emptiness, They have been reckoned to Him.
40:18And unto whom do ye liken God, And what likeness do ye compare to Him?
40:19The graven image poured out hath a artizan, And a refiner with gold spreadeth it over, And chains of silver he is refining.
40:20He who is poor `by' heave-offerings, A tree not rotten doth choose, A skilful artizan he seeketh for it, To establish a graven image -- not moved.
40:21Do ye not know -- do ye not hear? Hath it not been declared from the first to you? Have ye not understood `From' the foundations of the earth?
40:22He who is sitting on the circle of the earth, And its inhabitants `are' as grasshoppers, He who is stretching out as a thin thing the heavens, And spreadeth them as a tent to dwell in.
40:23He who is making princes become nothing, Judges of earth as emptiness hath made;
40:24Yea, they have not been planted, Yea, they have not been sown, Yea, not taking root in the earth is their stock, And also He hath blown upon them, and they wither, And a whirlwind as stubble taketh them away.
40:25And unto whom do ye liken Me, And `am' I equal? saith the Holy One.
40:26Lift up on high your eyes, And see -- who hath prepared these? He who is bringing out by number their host, To all of them by name He calleth, By abundance of strength (And `he is' strong in power) not one is lacking.
40:27Why sayest thou, O Jacob? and speakest thou, O Israel? `My way hath been hid from Jehovah, And from my God my judgment passeth over.'
40:28Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard? The God of the age -- Jehovah, Preparer of the ends of the earth, Is not wearied nor fatigued, There is no searching of His understanding.
40:29He is giving power to the weary, And to those not strong He increaseth might.
40:30Even youths are wearied and fatigued, And young men utterly stumble,
40:31But those expecting Jehovah pass `to' power, They raise up the pinion as eagles, They run and are not fatigued, They go on and do not faint!
