Red-Letter King James Bible 1769 Edition (KJV)

Isaiah 51

1 An exhortation, after the pattern of Abraham, to trust in Christ, 3 by reason of his comfortable promises, 4 of his righteous salvation, 7 and man's mortality. 9 Christ by his sanctified arm defendeth his from the fear of man. 17 He bewaileth the afflictions of Jerusalem, 21 and promiseth deliverance.

 51:1 ¶ Hearken 8085 z8798 to x413 me, ye that follow after 7291 z8802 righteousness, 6664 ye that seek 1245 z8764 the LORD: 3068 look 5027 z8685 unto x413 the rock 6697 [whence] ye are hewn, 2672 z8795 and to x413 the hole 4718 of the pit 953 [whence] ye are digged. 5365 z8795

 51:2 Look 5027 z8685 unto x413 Abraham 85 your father, 1 and unto x413 Sarah 8283 [that] bare 2342 z8787 you: for x3588 I called 7121 z8804 him alone, 259 and blessed 1288 z8762 him, and increased 7235 z8686 him.

 51:3 For x3588 the LORD 3068 shall comfort 5162 z8765 Zion: 6726 he will comfort 5162 z8765 all x3605 her waste places; 2723 and he will make 7760 z8799 her wilderness 4057 like Eden, 5731 and her desert 6160 like the garden 1588 of the LORD; 3068 joy 8342 and gladness 8057 shall be found 4672 z8735 therein, thanksgiving, 8426 and the voice 6963 of melody. 2172

 51:4 ¶ Hearken 7181 z8685 unto x413 me, my people; 5971 and give ear 238 z8685 unto x413 me, O my nation: 3816 for x3588 a law 8451 shall proceed 3318 z8799 from x4480 x854 me, and I will make my judgment 4941 to rest 7280 z8686 for a light 216 of the people. 5971

 51:5 My righteousness 6664 [is] near; 7138 my salvation 3468 is gone forth, 3318 z8804 and mine arms 2220 shall judge 8199 z8799 the people; 5971 the isles 339 shall wait 6960 z8762 upon x413 me, and on x413 mine arm 2220 shall they trust. 3176 z8762

 51:6 Lift up 5375 z8798 your eyes 5869 to the heavens, 8064 and look 5027 z8685 upon x413 the earth 776 beneath: x4480 x8478 for x3588 the heavens 8064 shall vanish away 4414 z8738 like smoke, 6227 and the earth 776 shall wax old 1086 z8799 like a garment, 899 and they that dwell 3427 z8802 therein shall die 4191 z8799 in like y3644 manner: y3654 x3644 x3651 but my salvation 3444 shall be x1961 for ever, 5769 and my righteousness 6666 shall not x3808 be abolished. 2865 z8735

 51:7 ¶ Hearken 8085 z8798 unto x413 me, ye that know 3045 z8802 righteousness, 6664 the people 5971 in whose heart 3820 [is] my law; 8451 fear 3372 z8799 ye not x408 the reproach 2781 of men, 582 neither x408 be ye afraid 2865 z8735 of their revilings. 1421 x4480

 51:8 For x3588 the moth 6211 shall eat them up 398 z8799 like a garment, 899 and the worm 5580 shall eat 398 z8799 them like wool: 6785 but my righteousness 6666 shall be x1961 for ever, 5769 and my salvation 3444 from generation 1755 to generation. 1755

 51:9 ¶ Awake, 5782 z8798 awake, 5782 z8798 put on 3847 z8798 strength, 5797 O arm 2220 of the LORD; 3068 awake, 5782 z8798 as in the ancient 6924 days, 3117 in the generations 1755 of old. 5769 [Art] thou x859 not x3808 it x1931 that hath cut 2672 z8688 Rahab, y7294 x7293 [and] wounded 2490 z8781 the dragon? 8577

 51:10 [Art] thou x859 not x3808 it x1931 which hath dried 2717 z8688 the sea, 3220 the waters 4325 of the great 7227 deep; 8415 that hath made 7760 z8804 the depths 4615 of the sea 3220 a way 1870 for the ransomed 1350 z8803 to pass over? 5674 z8800

 51:11 Therefore the redeemed 6299 z8803 of the LORD 3068 shall return, 7725 z8799 and come 935 z8804 with singing 7440 unto Zion; 6726 and everlasting 5769 joy 8057 [shall be] upon x5921 their head: 7218 they shall obtain 5381 z8686 gladness 8342 and joy; 8057 [and] sorrow 3015 and mourning 585 shall flee away. 5127 z8804

 51:12 I, x595 [even] I, x595 [am] he x1931 that comforteth 5162 z8764 you: who x4310 [art] thou, x859 that thou shouldest be afraid 3372 z8799 of a man 582 x4480 [that] shall die, 4191 z8799 and of the son 1121 x4480 of man 120 [which] shall be made 5414 z8735 [as] grass; 2682

 51:13 And forgettest 7911 z8799 the LORD 3068 thy maker, 6213 z8802 that hath stretched forth 5186 z8802 the heavens, 8064 and laid the foundations 3245 z8801 of the earth; 776 and hast feared 6342 z8762 continually 8548 every x3605 day 3117 because 6440 x4480 of the fury 2534 of the oppressor, 6693 z8688 as x834 if y834 he were ready 3559 z8790 to destroy? 7843 z8687 and where x346 [is] the fury 2534 of the oppressor? 6693 z8688

 51:14 The captive exile 6808 z8802 hasteneth 4116 z8765 that he may be loosed, 6605 z8736 and that he should not x3808 die 4191 z8799 in the pit, 7845 nor x3808 that his bread 3899 should fail. 2637 z8799

 51:15 But I x595 [am] the LORD 3068 thy God, 430 that divided 7280 z8802 the sea, 3220 whose waves 1530 roared: 1993 z8799 The LORD 3068 of hosts 6635 [is] his name. 8034

 51:16 And I have put 7760 z8799 my words 1697 in thy mouth, 6310 and I have covered 3680 z8765 thee in the shadow 6738 of mine hand, 3027 that I may plant 5193 z8800 the heavens, 8064 and lay the foundations 3245 z8800 of the earth, 776 and say 559 z8800 unto Zion, 6726 Thou x859 [art] my people. 5971

 51:17 ¶ Awake, 5782 z8708 awake, 5782 z8708 stand up, 6965 z8798 O Jerusalem, 3389 which x834 hast drunk 8354 z8804 at the hand 3027 x4480 of the LORD 3068 x853 the cup 3563 of his fury; 2534 thou hast drunken 8354 z8804 x853 the dregs 6907 of the cup 3563 of trembling, 8653 [and] wrung [them] out. 4680 z8804

 51:18 [There is] none x369 to guide 5095 z8764 her among all x4480 x3605 the sons 1121 [whom] she hath brought forth; 3205 z8804 neither x369 [is there any] that taketh 2388 z8688 her by the hand 3027 of all x4480 x3605 the sons 1121 [that] she hath brought up. 1431 z8765

 51:19 These x2007 two 8147 [things] are come 7122 z8802 unto thee; who x4310 shall be sorry 5110 z8799 for thee? desolation, 7701 and destruction, 7667 and the famine, 7458 and the sword: 2719 by whom x4310 shall I comfort 5162 z8762 thee?

 51:20 Thy sons 1121 have fainted, 5968 z8795 they lie 7901 z8804 at the head 7218 of all x3605 the streets, 2351 as a wild bull 8377 in a net: 4364 they are full 4392 of the fury 2534 of the LORD, 3068 the rebuke 1606 of thy God. 430

 51:21 ¶ Therefore x3651 hear 8085 z8798 now x4994 this, x2063 thou afflicted, 6041 and drunken, 7937 z8803 but not x3808 with wine: 3196 x4480

 51:22 Thus x3541 saith 559 z8804 thy Lord 113 the LORD, 3068 and thy God 430 [that] pleadeth y7378 z8799 the cause x7378 of his people, 5971 Behold, x2009 I have taken x3947 out y3947 z8804 of thine hand 3027 x4480 x853 the cup 3563 of trembling, 8653 [even] x853 the dregs 6907 of the cup 3563 of my fury; 2534 thou shalt no x3808 more 3254 z8686 drink x8354 it again: y8354 z8800 x5750

 51:23 But I will put 7760 z8804 it into the hand 3027 of them that afflict 3013 z8688 thee; which x834 have said 559 z8804 to thy soul, 5315 Bow down, 7812 z8798 that we may go over: 5674 z8799 and thou hast laid 7760 z8799 thy body 1460 as the ground, 776 and as the street, 2351 to them that went over. 5674 z8802
