I have caused thee to hear new things from this time, And things reserved that ye knew not. 7Now they have been produced and not from that time, Yea, before the day, and thou hast not heard them, Lest thou say, `Lo, I have known them.' 8Yea, thou hast not heard, Yea, thou hast not known, Yea, from that time not opened hath thine ear, For I have known thou dealest treacherously, And `Transgressor from the belly,' One is crying to thee. 9For My name's sake I defer Mine anger, And My praise I restrain for thee, So as not to cut thee off. 10Lo, I have refined thee, and not with silver, I have chosen thee in a furnace of affliction. 11For My sake, for Mine own sake, I do it , For how is it polluted? And Mine honour to another I give not. 12Hearken to me, O Jacob, and Israel, My called one, I am He, I am first, and I am last; 13Also, My hand hath founded earth, And My right hand stretched out the heavens, I am calling unto them, they stand together. 14Be gathered all of you, and hear, Who among them did declare these things? Jehovah hath loved him, He doth His pleasure on Babylon, And His arm is on the Chaldeans. 15I--I have spoken, yea, I have called him, I have brought him in, And he hath made prosperous his way. 16Come ye near unto me, hear this, Not from the beginning in secret spake I, From the time of its being, there am I, And now the Lord Jehovah hath sent me, and His Spirit. 17Thus said Jehovah, thy redeemer, The Holy One of Israel, `I am Jehovah thy God, teaching thee to profit, Causing thee to tread in the way thou goest. 18O that thou hadst attended to My commands, Then as a river is thy peace, And thy righteousness as billows of the sea, 19And as sand is thy seed, And the offspring of thy bowels as its gravel, Not cut off nor destroyed his name before Me. 20Go out from Babylon, flee from the Chaldeans, With a voice of singing declare, Cause ye this to be heard, Bring it forth unto the end of the earth, Say, Redeemed hath Jehovah His servant Jacob. 21And they have not thirsted in waste places, He hath caused them to go on, Waters from a rock he hath caused to flow to them, Yea, he cleaveth a rock, and flow do waters. 22There is no peace, said Jehovah, to the wicked! ‹Previous chapterIsaiah 47Next chapterIsaiah 49›Similar passagesBy tradition and source labelFind similarCompare selectedCompare with similarAsk Deep ThoughtSelect passages to search for parallels.VersionsIsaiah 48 across 9 versionsShow all 9WEB - World English BibleKJV - King James VersionASV - American Standard VersionDarby - Darby BibleYLT - Young's Literal TranslationWebster - Webster BibleGeneva - Geneva BibleDouay - Douay-Rheims ChallonerRV1909 - Reina-Valera 1909Tap any verse to select it, then compare selected passages or ask Deep Thought.
