00:00.680 --> 00:01.800
Chapter 51.

00:03.160 --> 00:07.560
Hearken to me, ye that follow after
righteousness, ye that seek the Lord.

00:08.240 --> 00:12.660
Look unto the rock whence ye are hewn,
and to the hole of the pit whence ye are

00:12.660 --> 00:13.100
digged.

00:13.860 --> 00:17.480
Look unto Abraham your father,
and unto Sarah that bear you.

00:18.080 --> 00:21.760
For I called him alone, and blessed him,
and increased him.

00:22.340 --> 00:26.540
For the Lord shall comfort Zion,
he will comfort all her waste places,

00:27.080 --> 00:31.500
and he will make her wilderness like Eden,
and her desert like the garden of the

00:31.500 --> 00:31.800
Lord.

00:32.460 --> 00:37.660
Joy and gladness shall be found therein,
thanksgiving, and the voice of melody.

00:39.060 --> 00:43.060
Hearken unto me, my people, and give ear
unto me, O my nation.

00:43.520 --> 00:48.300
For a law shall proceed from me,
and I will make my judgment to rest for a

00:48.300 --> 00:49.020
light of the people.

00:49.840 --> 00:55.520
My righteousness is near, my salvation is
gone forth, and mine arms shall judge the

00:55.520 --> 00:55.800
people.

00:56.400 --> 01:00.680
The isles shall wait upon me, and on mine
arms shall they trust.

01:01.620 --> 01:05.160
Lift up your eyes to the heavens,
and look upon the earth beneath.

01:05.780 --> 01:10.440
For the heavens shall vanish away like
smoke, and the earth shall wax old like a

01:10.440 --> 01:14.060
garment, and they that dwell therein shall
die in like manner.

01:14.660 --> 01:19.540
But my salvation shall be forever,
and my righteousness shall not be

01:19.540 --> 01:20.180
abolished.

01:21.180 --> 01:25.400
Hearken unto me, ye that know
righteousness, the people in whose heart

01:25.400 --> 01:30.220
is my law, fear ye not the reproach of
men, neither be ye afraid of their

01:30.220 --> 01:30.480
revilings.

01:31.360 --> 01:35.660
For the moth shall eat them up like a
garment, and the worm shall eat them like

01:35.660 --> 01:36.020
wool.

01:36.600 --> 01:41.940
But my righteousness shall be forever,
and my salvation from generation to

01:41.940 --> 01:42.440
generation.

01:43.800 --> 01:47.020
Awake, awake, put on strength,
O arm of the Lord.

01:47.300 --> 01:50.700
Awake, as in the ancient days,
in the generations of old.

01:51.360 --> 01:55.000
Art thou not it that hath cut Rahab and
wounded the dragon?

01:55.940 --> 02:00.840
Art thou not it which hath dried the sea,
the waters of the great deep, that hath

02:00.840 --> 02:03.880
made the depths of the sea away for the
ransom to pass over?

02:04.620 --> 02:09.500
Therefore the redeemed of the Lord shall
return, and come with singing unto Zion,

02:10.200 --> 02:13.080
and everlasting joy shall be upon their
head.

02:13.840 --> 02:18.840
They shall obtain gladness and joy,
and sorrow and mourning shall flee away.

02:19.500 --> 02:23.020
I, even I, am he that comforteth you.

02:23.640 --> 02:28.600
Who art thou that thou shouldest be afraid
of a man that shall die, and of the Son of

02:28.600 --> 02:30.740
Man, which shall be made as grass?

02:31.220 --> 02:35.460
And forgettest the Lord thy Maker,
that hath stretched forth the heavens,

02:35.580 --> 02:40.000
and laid the foundations of the earth,
and hast feared continually every day,

02:40.300 --> 02:43.820
because of the fury of the oppressor,
as if he were ready to destroy?

02:44.380 --> 02:47.320
And where is the fury of the oppressor?

02:47.320 --> 02:51.900
The captive exile hasteneth that he may be
loosed, and that he should not die in the

02:51.900 --> 02:53.900
pit, nor that his bread should fail.

02:54.800 --> 02:59.800
But I am the Lord thy God, that divided
the sea, whose waves roared.

03:00.240 --> 03:02.800
The Lord of hosts is his name.

03:03.540 --> 03:07.500
And I have put my words in thy mouth,
and I have covered thee in the shadow of

03:07.500 --> 03:12.240
mine hand, that I may plant the heavens,
and lay the foundations of the earth,

03:12.480 --> 03:16.100
and say unto Zion, Thou art my people.

03:18.240 --> 03:23.500
Awake, awake, stand up, O Jerusalem,
which hast drunk at the hand of the Lord

03:23.500 --> 03:24.860
the cup of his fury.

03:25.640 --> 03:29.360
Thou hast drunken the dregs of the cup of
trembling, and wrung them out.

03:30.240 --> 03:34.080
There is none to guide her among all the
sons, whom she hath brought forth.

03:34.820 --> 03:38.860
Neither is there any that taketh her by
the hand of all the sons that she hath

03:38.860 --> 03:39.500
brought up.

03:40.560 --> 03:42.480
These two things are come unto thee.

03:42.480 --> 03:44.580
Who shall be sorry for thee?

03:45.560 --> 03:50.240
Desolation and destruction, and the famine
and the sword, by whom shall I comfort

03:50.240 --> 03:50.580
thee?

03:51.320 --> 03:52.660
Thy sons have fainted.

03:53.220 --> 03:56.760
They lie at the head of all the streets,
as a wild bull in a net.

03:57.260 --> 04:01.020
They are full of the fury of the Lord,
the rebuke of thy God.

04:02.240 --> 04:07.140
Therefore, hear now this, thou afflicted
and drunken, but not with wine.

04:08.040 --> 04:12.980
Thus saith thy Lord the God, and thy God
that pleadeth the cause of his people.

04:14.020 --> 04:19.960
Behold, I have taken out of thine hand the
cup of trembling, even the dregs of the

04:19.960 --> 04:20.980
cup of my fury.

04:21.780 --> 04:26.200
Thou shalt no more drink it again,
but I will put it into the hand of them

04:26.200 --> 04:31.600
that afflict thee, which have said to thy
soul, Bow down, that we may go over.

04:32.340 --> 04:37.120
And thou hast laid thy body as the ground,
and as the street to them that went over.

04:37.120 --> 04:37.280
And thou hast laid thy body as the ground,
and as the street to them that went over.
