Chapter 44.

00:02.400 --> 00:06.840
Yet now hear, O Jacob my servant,
and Israel, whom I have chosen.

00:07.740 --> 00:11.440
Thus saith the Lord that made thee,
and formed thee from the womb,

00:11.980 --> 00:13.120
which will help thee.

00:14.180 --> 00:18.580
Fear not, O Jacob my servant, and thou,
Jezeron, whom I have chosen.

00:18.920 --> 00:23.620
For I will pour water upon him that is
thirsty, and floods upon the dry ground.

00:24.100 --> 00:28.200
I will pour my spirit upon thy seed,
and my blessing upon thine offspring.

00:28.200 --> 00:32.920
And they shall spring up as among the
grass, as willows by the watercourses.

00:33.780 --> 00:36.160
One shall say, I am the Lord's.

00:36.520 --> 00:38.700
And another shall call himself by the name
of Jacob.

00:39.280 --> 00:44.800
And another shall subscribe with his hand
unto the Lord, and surname himself by the

00:44.800 --> 00:45.480
name of Israel.

00:46.520 --> 00:50.700
Thus saith the Lord, the King of Israel,
and his Redeemer, the Lord of hosts.

00:51.340 --> 00:56.620
I am the first, and I am the last,
and beside me there is no God.

00:56.620 --> 01:01.700
And who is I shall call, and shall declare
it, and set it in order for me,

01:01.940 --> 01:03.680
since I appointed the ancient people.

01:04.080 --> 01:08.160
And the things that are coming,
and shall come, let them show unto them.

01:09.180 --> 01:11.080
Fear ye not, neither be afraid.

01:11.660 --> 01:14.880
Have not I told thee from that time,
and have declared it?

01:15.600 --> 01:18.840
Ye are even my witnesses, is there a God
beside me?

01:19.660 --> 01:22.120
Yea, there is no God, I know not any.

01:22.880 --> 01:27.800
They that make a graven image are all of
them vanity, and their delectable things

01:27.800 --> 01:28.580
shall not profit.

01:29.180 --> 01:34.060
And they are their own witnesses,
they see not, nor know, that they may be

01:34.060 --> 01:34.480
ashamed.

01:35.080 --> 01:39.540
Who hath formed a God, or molten a graven
image, that is profitable for nothing?

01:40.200 --> 01:45.260
Behold, all his fellows shall be ashamed,
and the workmen, they are of men.

01:45.820 --> 01:50.640
Let them all be gathered together,
let them stand up, yet they shall fear,

01:50.900 --> 01:52.340
and they shall be ashamed together.

01:52.940 --> 01:57.820
The smith with the tongs both worketh in
the coals, and fashioneth it with hammers,

01:58.080 --> 02:00.080
and worketh it with the strength of his
arms.

02:00.640 --> 02:05.120
Yea, he is hungry, and his strength
faileth, he drinketh no water,

02:05.320 --> 02:05.980
and is faint.

02:06.640 --> 02:10.980
The carpenter stretcheth out his rule,
he marketh it out with a line,

02:11.540 --> 02:15.940
he fitteth it with planes, and he marketh
it out with the compass, and maketh it

02:15.940 --> 02:20.680
after the figure of a man, according to
the beauty of a man, that it may remain in

02:20.680 --> 02:21.180
the house.

02:21.740 --> 02:26.600
He heweth him down cedars, and taketh the
cypress, and the oak, which he

02:26.600 --> 02:30.000
strengtheneth for himself among the trees
of the forest.

02:30.000 --> 02:33.560
He planteth an ash, and the rain doth
nourish it.

02:34.320 --> 02:38.200
Then shall it be for a man to burn,
for he will take thereof, and warm

02:38.200 --> 02:38.680
himself.

02:39.200 --> 02:44.300
Yea, he kindleth it, and baketh bread,
yea, he maketh a god, and worshipeth it,

02:44.580 --> 02:48.000
he maketh it a graven image, and falleth
down thereto.

02:48.420 --> 02:52.920
He burneth part thereof in the fire,
with part thereof he eateth flesh,

02:53.260 --> 02:55.800
he roasteth roast, and is satisfied.

02:55.800 --> 03:01.960
Yea, he warmeth himself, and saith,
Aha, I am warm, I have seen the fire,

03:02.340 --> 03:06.720
and the residue thereof he maketh a god,
even his graven image.

03:07.160 --> 03:12.600
He falleth down unto it, and worshipeth
it, and prayeth unto it, and saith,

03:12.940 --> 03:15.260
Deliver me, for thou art my god.

03:16.140 --> 03:18.720
They have not known, nor understood.

03:19.560 --> 03:24.360
For he hath shut their eyes, that they
cannot see, and their hearts, that they

03:24.360 --> 03:25.460
cannot understand.

03:26.100 --> 03:30.100
And none considereth in his heart,
neither is there knowledge, nor

03:30.100 --> 03:35.760
understanding, to say, I have burned part
of it in the fire, yea, also I have baked

03:35.760 --> 03:37.320
bread upon the coals thereof.

03:37.320 --> 03:41.660
I have roasted flesh, and eaten it,
and shall I make the residue thereof an

03:41.660 --> 03:42.200
abomination?

03:42.960 --> 03:45.200
Shall I fall down to the stalk of a tree?

03:46.600 --> 03:52.520
He feedeth on ashes, a deceived heart hath
turned him aside, that he cannot deliver

03:52.520 --> 03:57.000
his soul, nor say, Is there not a lie in
my right hand?

03:57.780 --> 04:03.060
Remember these, O Jacob and Israel,
for thou art my servant.

04:03.600 --> 04:06.740
I have formed thee, thou art my servant.

04:07.480 --> 04:10.660
O Israel, thou shalt not be forgotten of
me.

04:11.160 --> 04:16.300
I have blotted out, as a thick cloud,
thy transgressions, and as a cloud thy

04:16.300 --> 04:16.700
sins.

04:17.220 --> 04:19.980
Return unto me, for I have redeemed thee.

04:20.720 --> 04:23.880
Sing, O ye heavens, for the Lord hath done
it.

04:24.240 --> 04:26.020
Shout, ye lower parts of the earth.

04:26.400 --> 04:30.740
Break forth into singing, ye mountains,
O forest, and every tree therein.

04:31.200 --> 04:35.360
For the Lord hath redeemed Jacob,
and glorified himself in Israel.

04:36.380 --> 04:40.440
Thus saith the Lord, thy Redeemer,
and he that formed thee from the womb.

04:41.020 --> 04:46.220
I am the Lord that maketh all things,
that stretcheth forth the heavens alone,

04:46.600 --> 04:51.840
that spreadeth abroad the earth by myself,
that frustrateth the tokens of the liars,

04:52.140 --> 04:57.460
and maketh diviners mad, that turneth wise
men backward, and maketh their knowledge

04:57.460 --> 05:02.480
foolish, that confirmeth the word of his
servant, and performeth the counsel of his

05:02.480 --> 05:08.600
messengers, that saith to Jerusalem,
Thou shalt be inhabited, and to the cities

05:08.600 --> 05:13.940
of Judah ye shall be built, and I will
raise up the decayed places thereof,

05:13.940 --> 05:20.340
that saith to the deep, Be dry,
and I will dry up thy rivers, that saith

05:20.340 --> 05:25.940
of Cyrus, He is my shepherd, and shall
perform all my pleasure, even saying to

05:25.940 --> 05:31.600
Jerusalem, Thou shalt be built,
and to the temple, Thy foundation shall be

05:31.600 --> 05:31.940
laid.

05:34.100 --> 05:36.600
This concludes Disc Number 37.
