Isaiah 44

1 God comforteth the Church with his promises. 7 The vanity of idols, 9 and folly of idol makers. 21 He exhorteth to praise God for his redemption and omnipotency.

 44:1 ¶ Yet now x6258 heare, 8085 z8798 O Iacob 3290 my seruant, 5650 and Israel 3478 whom I haue chosen. 977 z8804

 44:2 Thus x3541 sayeth 559 z8804 the LORD 3068 that made 6213 z8802 thee, and formed 3335 z8802 thee from the wombe, 990 x4480 [which] wil helpe 5826 z8799 thee: Feare 3372 z8799 not, x408 O Iacob, 3290 my seruant, 5650 and thou Iesurun, 3484 whom I haue chosen. 977 z8804

 44:3 For x3588 I will powre 3332 z8799 water 4325 vpon x5921 him that is thirstie, 6771 and floods 5140 z8802 vpon x5921 the dry ground: 3004 I will powre 3332 z8799 my spirit 7307 vpon x5921 thy seede, 2233 and my blessing 1293 vpon x5921 thine offspring: 6631

 44:4 And they shall spring vp 6779 z8804 [as] among 996 the grasse, 2682 as willowes 6155 by x5921 the water 4325 courses. 2988

 44:5 One x2088 shall say, 559 z8799 I x589 [am] the LORDS: 3068 and another x2088 shall call 7121 z8799 himselfe by the name 8034 of Iacob: 3290 and another x2088 shall subscribe 3789 z8799 [with] his hand 3027 vnto the LORD, 3068 and surname 3655 z8762 himselfe by the name 8034 of Israel. 3478

 44:6 Thus x3541 saith 559 z8804 the LORD 3068 the king 4428 of Israel 3478 and his redeemer 1350 z8802 the LORD 3068 of hostes, 6635 I x589 [am] the first, 7223 and I x589 [am] the last, 314 and besides 1107 x4480 me [there is] no x369 God. 430

 44:7 And who, x4310 as I, shall call, 7121 z8799 and shall declare 5046 z8686 it, and set it in order 6186 z8799 for me, since I appointed 7760 z8800 x4480 the ancient 5769 people? 5971 and the things that are comming, 857 z8802 and shall come? 935 z8799 let them shew 5046 z8686 vnto them.

 44:8 Feare 6342 z8799 yee not, x408 neither x408 be afraid: 7297 z8799 z8676 z8804 haue not x3808 I told 8085 z8689 thee from that time, 227 x4480 and haue declared 5046 z8689 [it]? yee x859 [are] euen my witnesses. 5707 Is there 3426 a God 433 besides 1107 x4480 me? yea [there is] no x369 God, 6697 I know 3045 z8804 not x1077 [any].

 44:9 ¶ They that make 3335 z8802 a grauen image 6459 are all x3605 of them vanitie, 8414 and their delectable things 2530 z8803 shall not x1077 profit, 3276 z8686 and they x1992 [are] their owne witnesses, 5707 they see 7200 z8799 not, x1077 nor x1077 know; 3045 z8799 that x4616 they may be ashamed. 954 z8799

 44:10 Who x4310 hath formed 3335 z8804 a God, 410 or moulten 5258 z8804 a grauen image 6459 that is profitable 3276 z8687 for nothing? 1115

 44:11 Behold, x2005 all x3605 his fellowes 2270 shall be ashamed: 954 z8799 and the workemen, 2796 they x1992 [are] of men: 120 x4480 let them all x3605 be gathered together, 6908 z8691 let them stand [vp; 5975 z8799 yet] they shal feare, 6342 z8799 [and] they shalbe ashamed 954 z8799 together. 3162

 44:12 The smith 1270 2796 with the tonges 4621 both worketh 6466 z8804 in the coales, 6352 and fashioneth 3335 z8799 it with hammers, 4717 and worketh 6466 z8799 it with the strength 3581 of his armes: 2220 yea x1571 he is hungrie, y7457 x7456 and his strength 3581 faileth; 369 hee drinketh 8354 z8804 no x3808 water, 4325 and is faint. 3286 z8799

 44:13 The carpenter 2796 6086 stretcheth out 5186 z8804 his rule: 6957 he maketh it out 8388 z8762 with the line: 8279 he fitteth 6213 z8799 it with planes, 4741 and he marketh it out 8388 z8762 with the compasse, 4230 and maketh 6213 z8799 it after the figure 8403 of a man, 376 according to the beautie 8597 of a man; 120 that it may remaine 3427 z8800 in the house. 1004

 44:14 He heweth him downe 3772 z8800 cedars, 730 and taketh 3947 z8799 the Cypresse 8645 and the Oke, 437 which he strengthneth 553 z8762 for himselfe among the trees 6086 of the forrest: 3293 he planteth 5193 z8804 an Ashe, 766 and the raine 1653 doth nourish 1431 z8762 it.

 44:15 Then shall it bee x1961 for a man 120 to burne: 1197 z8763 for hee will take 3947 z8799 thereof x4480 and warme 2552 z8799 himselfe; yea x637 he kindleth 5400 z8686 [it] and baketh 644 z8804 bread; 3899 yea x637 he maketh 6466 z8799 a God, 410 and worshippeth 7812 z8691 it: he maketh 6213 z8804 it a grauen image, 6459 and falleth downe 5456 z8799 thereto.

 44:16 He burneth 8313 z8804 part 2677 thereof in 1119 the fire: 784 with x5921 part 2677 thereof he eateth 398 z8799 flesh: 1320 he rosteth 6740 z8799 rost, 6748 and is satisfied: 7646 z8799 yea x637 hee warmeth 2552 z8799 [himselfe], and saith; 559 z8799 Aha, 1889 I am warme, 2552 z8804 I haue seene 7200 z8804 the fire. 217

 44:17 And the residue 7611 thereof he maketh 6213 z8804 a God, 410 [euen] his grauen image: 6459 hee falleth downe 5456 z8799 vnto it, and worshippeth 7812 z8691 it, and prayeth 6419 z8691 vnto x413 it, and saith; 559 z8799 deliuer 5337 z8685 me, for x3588 thou x859 [art] my God. 410

 44:18 They haue not x3808 knowen, 3045 z8804 nor x3808 vnderstood: 995 z8799 for x3588 he hath shut 2902 z8804 their eyes, 5869 that they cannot see; 7200 z8800 x4480 [and] their hearts, y3826 x3820 that they cannot vnderstand. 7919 z8687 x4480

 44:19 And none x3808 considereth 7725 z8686 in x413 his heart, 3820 neither x3808 [is there] knowledge 1847 nor x3808 vnderstanding 8394 to say; 559 z8800 I haue burnt 8313 z8804 part 2677 of it in 1119 the fire, 784 yea x637 also I haue baked 644 z8804 bread 3899 vpon x5921 the coales 1513 thereof: I haue rosted 6740 z8799 flesh 1320 and eaten 398 z8799 [it]; and shall I make 6213 z8799 the residue 3499 thereof an abomination? 8441 shall I fall downe 5456 z8799 to the stocke 944 of a tree? 6086

 44:20 He feedeth 7462 z8802 of ashes: 665 a deceiued 2048 z8795 heart 3820 hath turned him aside, 5186 z8689 that he cannot x3808 deliuer 5337 z8686 x853 his soule, 5315 nor x3808 say; 559 z8799 [Is there] not x3808 a lie 8267 in my right hand? 3225

 44:21 ¶ Remember 2142 z8798 these x428 (O Iacob 3290 and Israel) 3478 for x3588 thou x859 [art] my seruant: 5650 I haue formed 3335 z8804 thee: thou x859 [art] my seruant, 5650 O Israel; 3478 thou shalt not x3808 be forgotten 5382 z8735 of me.

 44:22 I haue blotted out, 4229 z8804 as a thicke cloude, 5645 thy transgressions, 6588 and as a a cloud, 6051 thy sinnes: 2403 returne 7725 z8798 vnto x413 me, for x3588 I haue redeemed 1350 z8804 thee.

 44:23 Sing, 7442 z8798 O yee heauens; 8064 for x3588 the LORD 3068 hath done 6213 z8804 [it]: shout 7321 z8685 yee lower parts 8482 of the earth: 776 breake forth 6476 z8798 into singing 7440 yee mountaines, 2022 O forrest 3293 and euery x3605 tree 6086 therein: for x3588 the LORD 3068 hath redeemed 1350 z8804 Iacob, 3290 and glorified y6286 z8691 himselfe x6286 in Israel. 3478

 44:24 Thus x3541 saith 559 z8804 the LORD 3068 thy redeemer, 1350 z8802 and he that formed 3335 z8802 thee from the wombe; 990 x4480 I x595 [am] the LORD 3068 that maketh 6213 z8802 all x3605 things, that stretcheth forth 5186 z8802 the heauens 8064 alone, x905 that spreadeth abroad 7554 z8802 the earth 776 by x854 my selfe:

 44:25 That frustrateth 6565 z8688 the tokens 226 of the lyers, 907 and maketh diuiners y7080 z8802 mad, 1984 z8779 x7080 that turneth 7725 z8688 wisemen 2450 backward, 268 and maketh their knowledge y1847 foolish: 5528 z8762 x1847

 44:26 That confirmeth 6965 z8688 the word 1697 of his seruant, 5650 and performeth 7999 z8686 the counsell 6098 of his messengers, 4397 that saith 559 z8802 to Ierusalem, 3389 Thou shalt be inhabited; 3427 z8714 and to the cities 5892 of Iudah, 3063 Yee shall be built, 1129 z8735 and I will raise vp 6965 z8787 the decayed places 2723 thereof.

 44:27 That saith 559 z8802 to the deepe; 6683 Be dry, 2717 z8798 and I will drie vp 3001 z8686 thy riuers. 5104

 44:28 That saith 559 z8802 of Cyrus, 3566 [Hee is] my shepheard, 7462 z8802 and shall performe 7999 z8686 all x3605 my pleasure, 2656 euen saying 559 z8800 to Ierusalem, 3389 Thou shalt be built, 1129 z8735 and to the Temple, 1964 Thy foundation shalbe laid. 3245 z8735
