nations,And in their splendour shall ye revel.7For your shame which was double,And for that they rejoiced: 'Confusion is their portion';Therefore in their land they shall possess double,Everlasting joy shall be unto them. 8For I the Lord love justice,I hate robbery with iniquity;And I will give them their recompense in truth,And I will make an everlasting covenant with them.9And their seed shall be known among the nations,And their offspring among the peoples;All that see them shall acknowledge them,That they are the seed which the Lord hath blessed. 10I will greatly rejoice in the Lord,My soul shall be joyful in my God;For He hath clothed me with the garments of salvation,He hath covered me with the robe of victory,As a bridegroom putteth on a priestly diadem,And as a bride adorneth herself with her jewels.11For as the earth bringeth forth her growth,And as the garden causeth the things that are sown in it to spring forth;So the Lord God will cause victory and gloryTo spring forth before all the nations. 62For Zion's sake will I not hold My peace,And for Jerusalem's sake I will not rest,Until her triumph go forth as brightness,And her salvation as a torch that burneth.2And the nations shall see thy triumph,And all kings thy glory;And thou shalt be called by a new name,Which the mouth of the Lord shall mark out.3Thou shalt also be a crown of beauty in the hand of the Lord,And a royal diadem in the open hand of thy God.4Thou shalt no more be termed Forsaken,Neither shall thy land any more be termed Desolate;But thou shalt be called, My delight is in her,And thy land, Espoused;For the Lord delighteth in thee,And thy land shall be espoused.5For as a young man espouseth a virgin,So shall thy sons espouse thee;And as the bridegroom rejoiceth over the bride,So shall thy God rejoice over thee. 6I have set watchmenUpon thy walls, O Jerusalem,They shall never hold their peaceDay nor night:'Ye that are the Lord's remembrancers,Take ye no rest,7And give Him no rest,Till He establish,And till He make JerusalemA praise in the earth.'8The Lord hath sworn by His right hand,And by the arm of His strength:Surely I will no more give thy cornTo be food for thine enemies;And strangers shall not drink thy wine,For which thou hast laboured;9But they that have garnered it shall eat it,And praise the Lord,And they that have gathered it shall drink itIn the courts of My sanctuary. 10Go through, go through the gates,Clear ye the way of the people;Cast up, cast up the highway,Gather out the stones;Lift up an ensign over the peoples.11Behold, the Lord hath proclaimedUnto the end of the earth:Say ye to the daughter of Zion:'Behold, thy salvation cometh;Behold, His reward is with Him,And His recompense before Him.'12And they shall call them The holy people,The redeemed of the Lord;And thou shalt be called Sought out,A city not forsaken. 63'Who is this that cometh from Edom,With crimsoned garments from Bozrah?This that is glorious in his apparel,Stately in the greatness of his strength?'—'I that speak in victory, mighty to save.'—2'Wherefore is Thine apparel red,And Thy garments like his that treadeth in the winevat?'—3'I have trodden the winepress alone,And of the peoples there was no man with Me;Yea, I trod them in Mine anger,And trampled them in My fury;And their lifeblood is dashed against My garments,And I have stained all My raiment.4For the day of vengeance that was in My heart,And My year of redemption are come.5And I looked, and there was none to help,And I beheld in astonishment, and there was none to uphold;Therefore Mine own arm brought salvation unto Me,And My fury, it upheld Me.6And I trod down the peoples in Mine anger,And made them drunk with My fury,And I poured out their lifeblood on the earth.' 7I will make mention of the mercies of the Lord,And the praises of the Lord,According to all that the Lord hath bestowed on us;And the great goodness toward the house of Israel,Which He hath bestowed on them according to His compassions,And according to the multitude of His mercies.8For He said: 'Surely, they are My people,Children that will not deal falsely';So He was their Saviour.9In all their affliction He was afflicted,And the angel of His presence saved them;In His love and in His pity He redeemed them;And He bore them, and carried them all the days of old.10But they rebelled, and grieved His holy spirit;Therefore He was turned to be their enemy,Himself fought against them.11Then His people remembered the days of old, the days of Moses:'Where is He that brought them up out of the seaWith the shepherds of His flock?Where is He that put His holy spiritIn the midst of them?12That caused His glorious arm to go at the right hand of Moses?That divided the water before them,To make Himself an everlasting name?13That led them through the deep,As a horse in the wilderness, without stumbling?14As the cattle that go down into the valley,The spirit of the Lord caused them to rest;So didst Thou lead Thy people,To make Thyself a glorious name.' 15Look down from heaven, and see,Even from Thy holy and glorious habitation;Where is Thy zeal and Thy mighty acts,The yearning of Thy heart and Thy compassions,Now restrained toward me?16For Thou art our Father;For Abraham knoweth us not,And Israel doth not acknowledge us;Thou, O Lord, art our Father,Our Redeemer from everlasting is Thy name.17O Lord, why dost Thou make us to err from Thy ways,And hardenest our heart from Thy fear?Return for Thy servants'sake,The tribes of Thine inheritance.18Thy holy people they have well nigh driven out,Our adversaries have trodden down Thy sanctuary.19We are become as they over whom Thou never borest rule,As they that were not called by Thy name. Oh, that Thou wouldest rend the heavens, that Thou wouldest come down,That the mountains might quake at Thy presence,64As when fire kindleth the brush-wood,And the fire causeth the waters to boil;To make Thy name known to Thine adversaries,That the nations might tremble at Thy presence,2When Thou didst tremendous thingsWhich we looked not for—Oh that Thou wouldest come down, that the mountains might quake at Thy presence!—3And whereof from of old men have not heard, nor perceived by the ear,Neither hath the eye seen a God beside Thee,Who worketh for him that waiteth for Him. 4Thou didst take away him that joyfully worked righteousness,Those that remembered Thee in Thy ways—Behold, Thou wast wroth, and we sinned—Upon them have we stayed of old, that we might be saved.5And we are all become as one that is unclean,And all our righteousnesses are as a polluted garment;And we all do fade as a leaf,And our iniquities, like the wind, take us away.6And there is none that calleth upon Thy name,That stirreth up himself to take hold of Thee;For Thou hast hid Thy face from us,And hast consumed us by means of our iniquities. 7But now, O Lord, Thou art our Father;We are the clay, and Thou our potter,And we all are the work of Thy hand.8Be not wroth very sore, O Lord,Neither remember iniquity for ever;Behold, look, we beseech Thee, we are all Thy people.9Thy holy cities are become a wilderness,Zion is become a wilderness,Jerusalem a desolation.10Our holy and our beautiful house,Where our fathers praised Thee,Is burned with fire;And all our pleasant things are laid waste.11Wilt Thou refrain Thyself for these things, O Lord?Wilt Thou hold Thy peace, and afflict us very sore? 65I gave access to them that asked not for Me,I was at hand to them that sought Me not;I said: 'Behold Me, behold Me',Unto a nation that was not called by My name.2I have spread out My hands all the dayUnto a rebellious people,That walk in a way that is not good,After their own thoughts;3A people that provoke MeTo My face continually,That sacrifice in gardens,And burn incense upon bricks;4That sit among the graves,And lodge in the vaults;That eat swine's flesh,And broth of abominable things is in their vessels;5That say: 'Stand by thyself,Come not near to me, for I am holier than thou';These are a smoke in My nose,A fire that burneth all the day.6Behold, it is written before Me;I will not keep silence, except I have requited,Yea, I will requite into their bosom,7Your own iniquities, and the iniquities of your fathers together,Saith the Lord, that have offered upon the mountains,And blasphemed Me upon the hills;Therefore will I first measure their wage into their bosom. 8Thus saith the Lord:As, when wine is found in the cluster,One saith: 'Destroy it not,For a blessing is in it';So will I do for My servants' sakes,That I may not destroy all.9And I will bring forth a seed out of Jacob,And out of Judah an inheritor of My mountains;And Mine elect shall inherit it,And My servants shall dwell there.10And Sharon shall be a fold of flocks,And the valley of Achor a place for herds to lie down in,For My people that have sought Me.11But ye that forsake the Lord,That forget My holy mountain,That prepare a table for Fortune,And that offer mingled wine in full measure unto Destiny,12I will destine you to the sword,And ye shall all bow down to the slaughter;Because when I called, ye did not answer,When I spoke, ye did not hear;But ye did that which was evil in Mine eyes,And chose that wherein I delighted not. 13Therefore thus saith the Lord God:Behold, My servants shall eat,But ye shall be hungry;Behold, My servants shall drink,But ye shall be thirsty;Behold,
