Isaiah - douay rheims

Chapter 48

¹ HEAR ye these things, O house of Jacob, you that are called by the name of Israel, and are come forth out of the waters of Juda, you who swear by the name of the Lord, and make mention of the God of Israel, but not in truth, nor in justice.
² For they are called of the holy city, and are established upon the God of Israel: the Lord of hosts is his name.
³ The former things of old I have declared, and they went forth out of my mouth, and I have made them to be heard: I did them suddenly and they came to pass.
⁴ For I knew that thou art stubborn, and thy neck is as an iron sinew, and thy forehead as brass.
⁵ I foretold thee of old, before they came to pass I told thee, lest thou shouldst say: My idols have done these things, and my graven and molten things have commanded them.
⁶ See now all the things which thou hast heard: but have you declared them? I have shewn thee new things from that time, and things are kept which thou knowest not:
⁷ They are created now, and not of old: and before the day, when thou heardest them not, lest thou shouldst say: Behold I knew them.
⁸ Thou hast neither heard, nor known, neither was thy ear opened of old. For I know that transgressing thou wilt transgress, and I have called thee a transgressor from the womb.
⁹ For my name's sake I will remove my wrath far off: and for my praise I will bridle thee, lest thou shouldst perish.
¹⁰ Behold I have refined thee, but not as silver, I have chosen thee in the furnace of poverty.
¹¹ For my own sake, for my own sake will I do it, that I may not be blasphemed: and I will not give my glory to another.
¹² Hearken to me, O Jacob, and thou Israel whom I call: I am he, I am the first, and I am the last.
¹³ My hand also hath founded the earth, and my right hand hath measured the heavens: I shall call them, and they shall stand together.
¹⁴ Assemble yourselves together, all you, and hear: who among them hath declared these things? the Lord hath loved him, he will do his pleasure in Babylon, and his arm shall be on the Chaldeans.
¹⁵ I, even I have spoken and called him: I have brought him, and his way is made prosperous.
¹⁶ Come ye near unto me, and hear this: I have not spoken in secret from the beginning: from the time before it was done, I was there, and now the Lord God hath sent me, and his spirit.
¹⁷ Thus saith the Lord thy redeemer, the Holy One of Israel: I am the Lord thy God that teach thee profitable things, that govern thee in the way that thou walkest.
¹⁸ O that thou hadst hearkened to my commandments: thy peace had been as a river, and thy justice as the waves of the sea,
¹⁹ And thy seed had been as the sand, and the offspring of thy bowels like the gravel thereof: his name should not have perished, nor have been destroyed from before my face.
²⁰ Come forth out of Babylon, flee ye from the Chaldeans, declare it with the voice of joy: make this to be heard, and speak it out even to the ends of the earth. Say: The Lord hath redeemed his servant Jacob.
²¹ They thirsted not in the desert, when he led them out: he brought forth water out of the rock for them, and he clove the rock, and the waters gushed out.
²² There is no peace to the wicked, saith the Lord.

Chapter 48

¹ Hear ye this, O house of Jacob, who are called by the name of Israel, and have come forth out of the waters of Judah, who swear by the name of the LORD, 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 LORD of hosts is his name.
³ I have declared the former things from the beginning; and they went forth from my mouth, and I showed 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 showed it thee: lest thou shouldst say, My 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 showed ye 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 heardst them not; lest thou shouldst say, Behold, I knew them.
⁸ Yes, thou heardst not; yes, thou knewest not; yes, from that time that thy ear was not opened: for I knew that thou wouldst deal very treacherously, and wast called a transgressor from the womb.
⁹ For my name's sake will I defer my 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 my own sake, even for my own sake, will I do it: for how should my name be profaned? and I will not give my glory to another.
¹² Hearken to me, O Jacob and Israel, my called; I am he; I am the first, I also am the last.
¹³ My hand also hath laid the foundation of the earth, and my right hand hath spanned the heavens: when I call to them, they stand up together.
¹⁴ All ye, assemble yourselves and hear; who among them hath declared these things? The LORD hath loved him: he will do his pleasure on Babylon, and his arm shall be on the Chaldeans.
¹⁵ I, even I, have spoken, yes, I have called him: I have brought him, and he shall make his way prosperous.
¹⁶ Come ye near to 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 LORD, thy Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel; I am the LORD thy God, who teacheth thee to profit, who leadeth thee by the way that thou shouldst 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:
¹⁹ Thy seed also had been as the sand, and the offspring of thy bowels like its gravel; his name should not have been cut off nor destroyed from before me.
²⁰ Go ye forth from Babylon, flee ye from the Chaldeans, with a voice of singing declare ye, tell this, utter it even to the end of the earth; say ye, The LORD hath redeemed his servant Jacob.
²¹ And they thirsted not, when he led them through the deserts: he caused the waters to flow out of the rock for them: he cleaved the rock also, and the waters gushed out.
²² There is no peace, saith the LORD, to the wicked.

Chapter 48

¹ Hear ye this, house of Jacob, who are called by the name of Israel, and are come forth out of the waters of Judah, who swear by the name of Jehovah, and make mention of the God of Israel, not in truth, nor in righteousness.
² For they are named after the holy city, and stay themselves upon the God of Israel: Jehovah of hosts is his name.
³ I have declared the former things long ago; and they went forth out of my mouth, and I caused them to be heard: I wrought 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 so I have long ago declared [them] to thee; before they came to pass I caused thee to hear [them]; lest thou shouldest say, Mine idol hath done them, and my graven image, or my molten image hath commanded them.
⁶ Thou heardest, see all this; -- and ye, will not ye declare [it]? I have caused thee to hear new things from this time, and things hidden, and that thou knewest not:
⁷ they are created now, and not long ago; and before this day thou hast not heard them, lest thou shouldest say, Behold, I knew them.
⁸ Yea, thou heardest not, yea, thou knewest not, yea, from of old thine ear was not opened; for I knew that thou wouldest ever deal treacherously, and thou wast called a transgressor from the womb.
⁹ For my name's sake I will defer mine anger, and [for] my praise will I refrain as to thee, that I cut thee not off.
¹⁰ Behold, I have refined thee, but not as silver; I have chosen thee in the furnace of affliction.
¹¹ For mine own sake, for mine own sake, will I do [it]; for how should [my name] be profaned? and I will not give my glory unto another.
¹² Hearken unto me, Jacob, and [thou] Israel, my called. I [am] HE; I, the first, and I, the last.
¹³ Yea, my hand hath laid the foundation of the earth, and my right hand hath spread abroad the heavens: I call unto them, they stand up together.
¹⁴ All ye, gather yourselves together, and hear: which among them hath declared these things? He whom Jehovah hath loved shall execute 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 his way shall be prosperous.
¹⁶ Come 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 Jehovah hath sent me, and his Spirit.
¹⁷ Thus saith Jehovah, thy Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel; I [am] Jehovah thy God, who teacheth thee for [thy] profit, who leadeth thee in the way that thou shouldest go.
¹⁸ Oh that thou hadst hearkened to my commandments! Then would thy peace have been as a river, and thy righteousness as the waves of the sea;
¹⁹ and thy seed would have been as the sand, and the offspring of thy bowels like the gravel thereof: their name should not have been cut off nor destroyed from before me.
²⁰ Go ye forth from Babylon, flee from the Chaldeans, with a voice of singing; declare, cause this to be heard, utter it to the end of the earth; say ye, Jehovah hath redeemed his servant Jacob.
²¹ And they thirsted not when he led them through the deserts; he caused the waters to flow out of the rock for them; yea, he clave the rock, and the waters gushed out.
²² There is no peace, saith Jehovah, unto the wicked.

Isaiah - basic english

Chapter 48

¹ Give ear to this, O family of Jacob, you who are named by the name of Israel, and have come out of the body of Judah; who take oaths by the name of the Lord, and make use of the name of the God of Israel, but not truly and not in good faith.
² For they say that they are of the holy town, and put their faith in the God of Israel: the Lord of armies is his name.
³ I gave word in the past of the things which came about; they came from my mouth, and I made them clear: suddenly I did them, and they came about.
⁴ Because I saw that your heart was hard, and that your neck was an iron cord, and your brow brass;
⁵ For this reason I made it clear to you in the past, before it came I gave you word of it: for fear that you might say, My god did these things, and my pictured and metal images made them come about.
⁶ All this has come to your ears and you have seen it; will you not give witness to it? I am now making clear new things, even secret things, of which you had no knowledge.
⁷ They have only now been effected, and not in the past: and before this day they had not come to your ears; for fear that you might say, I had knowledge of them.
⁸ Truly you had no word of them, no knowledge of them; no news of them in the past had come to your ears; because I saw how false was your behaviour, and that your heart was turned against me from your earliest days.
⁹ Because of my name I will put away my wrath, and for my praise I will keep myself from cutting you off.
¹⁰ See, I have been testing you for myself like silver; I have put you through the fire of trouble.
¹¹ For myself, even because of my name, I will do it; for I will not let my name be shamed; and my glory I will not give to another.
¹² Give ear to me, Jacob, and Israel, my loved one; I am he, I am the first and I am the last.
¹³ Yes, by my hand was the earth placed on its base, and by my right hand the heavens were stretched out; at my word they take up their places.
¹⁴ Come together, all of you, and give ear; who among you has given news of these things? the Lord's loved one will do his pleasure with Babylon, and with the seed of the Chaldaeans.
¹⁵ I, even I, have given the word; I have sent for him: I have made him come, and have given effect to his undertakings.
¹⁶ Come near to me, and give ear to this; from the start I did not keep it secret; from the time of its coming into existence I was there: and now the Lord God has sent me, and given me his spirit.
¹⁷ The Lord who takes up your cause, the Holy One of Israel, says, I am the Lord your God, who is teaching you for your profit, guiding you by the way in which you are to go.
¹⁸ If only you had given ear to my orders, then your peace would have been like a river, and your righteousness as the waves of the sea:
¹⁹ Your seed would have been like the sand, and your offspring like the dust: your name would not be cut off or come to an end before me.
²⁰ Go out of Babylon, go in flight from the Chaldaeans; with the sound of song make it clear, give the news, let the word go out even to the end of the earth: say, The Lord has taken up the cause of his servant Jacob.
²¹ They had no need of water when he was guiding them through the waste lands: he made water come out of the rock for them: the rock was parted and the waters came flowing out.
²² There is no peace, says the Lord, for the evil-doers.
