Isaias

Hebrew Bible, Isaias, Ottley, Cambridge, 1904

25 To whom then will ye liken me, and I shall be equal to him? saith the Holy One.

26 Lift up your eyes on high, and see: who hath created these? he who bringeth out their host by number; he calleth them all by name, from the greatness of his might, and being strong in power: not one is missing.

[*](15. ‘isles’: or, ‘coast-lands’; or, ‘countries’; and so xli. 1, c)[*](17. Or, ‘as less than nought.)[*](21. Or, ‘Will ye not know? will ye not ’ Or, ‘have ye not discerned the ‘ (against accents).)[*](26. Lit. ‘not a man is missing.)

27 Why sayest thou, O Jacob, and speakest, O Israel, My way is hid from the LORD, and my judgment will pass away from my God?

28 Hast thou not known, hast thou not heard? an everlasting God is the LORD, the Creator of the ends of the earth; he fainteth not, neither is—there is no searching of his—

29 Giving power to the weary; and to the powerless he in- ’ creaseth strength. ’

30 And youths faint and are weary, and young men stumble:

31 But they that wait for the LORD shall renew strength; they ’shall lift up wings like the eagles: they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint.

XLI. 1 Keep silence before me, O isles; and the peoples shall renew strength; let them come near, then let them speak; let us draw near together to judgment.
