Isaias

Hebrew Bible

Hebrew Bible, Isaias, Ottley, Cambridge, 1904

24 Thou hast not bought me sweet cane with silver, neither hast thou steeped me with the fat of thy sacrifices: only thou hast caused me to serve with thy sins, thou hast wearied me with a thine iniquities.

25 I, I am he that blotteth out thy rebellions for mine own sake, and I will not remember thy sins.

26 Put me in remembrance; let us plead together: do thou recount, that thou mayest appear righteous.

27 Thy first father sinned, and thine interpreters rebelled ” against me.

28 And I will profane princes of holiness, and will give up Jacob to the ban, and Israel to reproaches.

[*](22. Some render, ‘much less hast thou wearied’thyself with me.’)[*](26. ‘let us plead together,’ or, ‘judge one another’: possibly, ‘ be judged.’)[*](28. Or past tenses, altering the points: ‘ princes of holiness’: or, ‘of the sanctuary’ (?) or, ‘consecrated princes.’)

XLIV. 1 And now hear, O Jacob my servant; and Israel, whom I have chosen;

2 Thus saith the Lord that made thee, and formed thee from the womb, that will help thee: Fear not, O Jacob my servant, and (thou) Jeshurun, whom I have chosen.

3 For I will pour water upon him that is thirsty, and flowing streams upon the dry ground; I will pour my Spirit upon thy seed, and my blessing upon them that go forth of thee.
