48:1 Hear
this,
O
house
of
Jacob,
who
are
called
by
the
name
of
Israel,
and
who
came
from
the
waters
of
Judah,
who
swear
by
the
name
of
the
LORD
and
confess
the
God
of
Israel,
but
not
in
truth
or
right.
48:2 For
they
call
themselves
after
the
holy
city,
and
stay
themselves
on
the
God
of
Israel;
the
LORD
of
hosts
is
his
name.
48:3 "The
former
things
I
declared
of
old;
they
went
out
from
my
mouth,
and
I
announced
them;
then
suddenly
I
did
them,
and
they
came
to
pass.
48:4 Because
I
know
that
you
are
obstinate,
and
your
neck
is
an
iron
sinew
and
your
forehead
brass,
48:5 I
declared
them
to
you
from
of
old,
before
they
came
to
pass
I
announced
them
to
you,
lest
you
should
say,
'My
idol
did
them,
my
carved
image
and
my
metal
image
commanded
them.'
48:6 "You
have
heard;
now
see
all
this;
and
will
you
not
declare
it
From
this
time
forth
I
announce
to
you
new
things,
hidden
things
that
you
have
not
known.
48:7 They
are
created
now,
not
long
ago;
before
today
you
have
never
heard
of
them,
lest
you
should
say,
'Behold,
I
knew
them.'
48:8 You
have
never
heard,
you
have
never
known,
from
of
old
your
ear
has
not
been
opened.
For
I
knew
that
you
would
surely
deal
treacherously,
and
that
from
before
birth
you
were
called
a
rebel.
48:9 "For
my
name's
sake
I
defer
my
anger,
for
the
sake
of
my
praise
I
restrain
it
for
you,
that
I
may
not
cut
you
off.
48:10 Behold,
I
have
refined
you,
but
not
as
silver;
I
have
tried
you
in
the
furnace
of
affliction.
48:11 For
my
own
sake,
for
my
own
sake,
I
do
it,
for
how
should
my
name
be
profaned
My
glory
I
will
not
give
to
another.
48:12 "Listen
to
me,
O
Jacob,
and
Israel,
whom
I
called!
I
am
he;
I
am
the
first,
and
I
am
the
last.
48:13 My
hand
laid
the
foundation
of
the
earth,
and
my
right
hand
spread
out
the
heavens;
when
I
call
to
them,
they
stand
forth
together.
48:14 "Assemble,
all
of
you,
and
listen!
Who
among
them
has
declared
these
things
The
LORD
loves
him;
he
shall
perform
his
purpose
on
Babylon,
and
his
arm
shall
be
against
the
Chaldeans.
48:15 I,
even
I,
have
spoken
and
called
him;
I
have
brought
him,
and
he
will
prosper
in
his
way.
48:16 Draw
near
to
me,
hear
this:
from
the
beginning
I
have
not
spoken
in
secret,
from
the
time
it
came
to
be
I
have
been
there."
And
now
the
Lord
GOD
has
sent
me,
and
his
Spirit.
48:17 Thus
says
the
LORD,
your
Redeemer,
the
Holy
One
of
Israel:
"I
am
the
LORD
your
God,
who
teaches
you
to
profit,
who
leads
you
in
the
way
you
should
go.
48:18 Oh
that
you
had
paid
attention
to
my
commandments!
Then
your
peace
would
have
been
like
a
river,
and
your
righteousness
like
the
waves
of
the
sea;
48:19 your
offspring
would
have
been
like
the
sand,
and
your
descendants
like
its
grains;
their
name
would
never
be
cut
off
or
destroyed
from
before
me."
48:20 Go
out
from
Babylon,
flee
from
Chaldea,
declare
this
with
a
shout
of
joy,
proclaim
it,
send
it
out
to
the
end
of
the
earth;
say,
"The
LORD
has
redeemed
his
servant
Jacob!"
48:21 They
did
not
thirst
when
he
led
them
through
the
deserts;
he
made
water
flow
for
them
from
the
rock;
he
split
the
rock
and
the
water
gushed
out.
48:22 "There
is
no
peace,"
says
the
LORD,
"for
the
wicked."
