44:1 Yet
now
heare,
O
Iacob
my
seruant,
and
Israel
whom
I
haue
chosen.
44:2 Thus
sayeth
the
Lord
that
made
thee,
and
formed
thee
from
the
wombe,
which
wil
helpe
thee:
Feare
not,
O
Iacob,
my
seruant,
and
thou
Iesurun,
whom
I
haue
chosen.
44:3 For
I
will
powre
water
vpon
him
that
is
thirstie,
and
floods
vpon
the
dry
ground:
I
will
powre
my
spirit
vpon
thy
seede,
and
my
blessing
vpon
thine
offspring:
44:4 And
they
shall
spring
vp
as
among
the
grasse,
as
willowes
by
the
water
courses.
44:5 One
shall
say,
I
am
the
Lords:
and
another
shall
call
himselfe
by
the
name
of
Iacob:
and
another
shall
subscribe
with
his
hand
vnto
the
Lord,
and
surname
himselfe
by
the
name
of
Israel.
44:6 Thus
saith
the
Lord
the
king
of
Israel
and
his
redeemer
the
Lord
of
hostes,
I
am
the
first,
and
I
am
the
last,
and
besides
me
there
is
no
God.
44:7 And
who,
as
I,
shall
call,
and
shall
declare
it,
and
set
it
in
order
for
me,
since
I
appointed
the
ancient
people
and
the
things
that
are
comming,
and
shall
come
let
them
shew
vnto
them.
44:8 Feare
yee
not,
neither
be
afraid:
haue
not
I
told
thee
from
that
time,
and
haue
declared
it
yee
are
euen
my
witnesses.
Is
there
a
God
besides
me
yea
there
is
no
God,
I
know
not
any.
44:9 They
that
make
a
grauen
image
are
all
of
them
vanitie,
and
their
delectable
things
shall
not
profit,
and
they
are
their
owne
witnesses,
they
see
not,
nor
know;
that
they
may
be
ashamed.
44:10 Who
hath
formed
a
God,
or
moulten
a
grauen
image
that
is
profitable
for
nothing
44:11 Behold,
all
his
fellowes
shall
be
ashamed:
and
the
workemen,
they
are
of
men:
let
them
all
be
gathered
together,
let
them
stand
vp;
yet
they
shal
feare,
and
they
shalbe
ashamed
together.
44:12 The
smith
with
the
tonges
both
worketh
in
the
coales,
and
fashioneth
it
with
hammers,
and
worketh
it
with
the
strength
of
his
armes:
yea
he
is
hungrie,
and
his
strength
faileth;
hee
drinketh
no
water,
and
is
faint.
44:13 The
carpenter
stretcheth
out
his
rule:
he
maketh
it
out
with
the
line:
he
fitteth
it
with
planes,
and
he
marketh
it
out
with
the
compasse,
and
maketh
it
after
the
figure
of
a
man,
according
to
the
beautie
of
a
man;
that
it
may
remaine
in
the
house.
44:14 He
heweth
him
downe
cedars,
and
taketh
the
Cypresse
and
the
Oke,
which
he
strengthneth
for
himselfe
among
the
trees
of
the
forrest:
he
planteth
an
Ashe,
and
the
raine
doth
nourish
it.
44:15 Then
shall
it
bee
for
a
man
to
burne:
for
hee
will
take
thereof
and
warme
himselfe;
yea
he
kindleth
it
and
baketh
bread;
yea
he
maketh
a
God,
and
worshippeth
it:
he
maketh
it
a
grauen
image,
and
falleth
downe
thereto.
44:16 He
burneth
part
thereof
in
the
fire:
with
part
thereof
he
eateth
flesh:
he
rosteth
rost,
and
is
satisfied:
yea
hee
warmeth
himselfe,
and
saith;
Aha,
I
am
warme,
I
haue
seene
the
fire.
44:17 And
the
residue
thereof
he
maketh
a
God,
euen
his
grauen
image:
hee
falleth
downe
vnto
it,
and
worshippeth
it,
and
prayeth
vnto
it,
and
saith;
deliuer
me,
for
thou
art
my
God.
44:18 They
haue
not
knowen,
nor
vnderstood:
for
he
hath
shut
their
eyes,
that
they
cannot
see;
and
their
hearts,
that
they
cannot
vnderstand.
44:19 And
none
considereth
in
his
heart,
neither
is
there
knowledge
nor
vnderstanding
to
say;
I
haue
burnt
part
of
it
in
the
fire,
yea
also
I
haue
baked
bread
vpon
the
coales
thereof:
I
haue
rosted
flesh
and
eaten
it;
and
shall
I
make
the
residue
thereof
an
abomination
shall
I
fall
downe
to
the
stocke
of
a
tree
44:20 He
feedeth
of
ashes:
a
deceiued
heart
hath
turned
him
aside,
that
he
cannot
deliuer
his
soule,
nor
say;
Is
there
not
a
lie
in
my
right
hand
44:21 Remember
these
(O
Iacob
and
Israel)
for
thou
art
my
seruant:
I
haue
formed
thee:
thou
art
my
seruant,
O
Israel;
thou
shalt
not
be
forgotten
of
me.
44:22 I
haue
blotted
out,
as
a
thicke
cloude,
thy
transgressions,
and
as
a
a
cloud,
thy
sinnes:
returne
vnto
me,
for
I
haue
redeemed
thee.
44:23 Sing,
O
yee
heauens;
for
the
Lord
hath
done
it:
shout
yee
lower
parts
of
the
earth:
breake
forth
into
singing
yee
mountaines,
O
forrest
and
euery
tree
therein:
for
the
Lord
hath
redeemed
Iacob,
and
glorified
himselfe
in
Israel.
44:24 Thus
saith
the
Lord
thy
redeemer,
and
he
that
formed
thee
from
the
wombe;
I
am
the
Lord
that
maketh
all
things,
that
stretcheth
forth
the
heauens
alone,
that
spreadeth
abroad
the
earth
by
my
selfe:
44:25 That
frustrateth
the
tokens
of
the
lyers,
and
maketh
diuiners
mad,
that
turneth
wisemen
backward,
and
maketh
their
knowledge
foolish:
44:26 That
confirmeth
the
word
of
his
seruant,
and
performeth
the
counsell
of
his
messengers,
that
saith
to
Ierusalem,
Thou
shalt
be
inhabited;
and
to
the
cities
of
Iudah,
Yee
shall
be
built,
and
I
will
raise
vp
the
decayed
places
thereof.
44:27 That
saith
to
the
deepe;
Be
dry,
and
I
will
drie
vp
thy
riuers.
44:28 That
saith
of
Cyrus,
Hee
is
my
shepheard,
and
shall
performe
all
my
pleasure,
euen
saying
to
Ierusalem,
Thou
shalt
be
built,
and
to
the
Temple,
Thy
foundation
shalbe
laid.
