³ Listen to me, house of Jacob, and all the remnant of the house of Israel, that have been borne [by me] from their birth, that have been carried from the womb;

³¹ and in the wilderness, where you have seen how that Yahweh your God bore you, as a man does bear his son, in all the way that you went, until you came to this place.

²² For though your people, Israel, be as the sand of the sea, [only] a remnant of them shall return: a destruction [is] determined, overflowing with righteousness.

⁶ I have relied on you from the womb. You are he who took me out of my mother's womb. I will always praise you.

⁹ But you brought me out of the womb. You made me trust at my mother's breasts.

¹⁰ I was thrown on you from my mother's womb. You are my God since my mother bore me.

⁹ Unless Yahweh of hosts had left to us a very small remnant, We would have been as Sodom; We would have been like Gomorrah.

⁶ When I passed by you, and saw you weltering in your blood, I said to you, [Though you are] in your blood, live; yes, I said to you, [Though you are] in your blood, live.

⁷ I caused you to multiply as that which grows in the field, and you increased and grew great, and you attained to excellent ornament; your breasts were fashioned, and your hair was grown; yet you were naked and bare.

⁸ Now when I passed by you, and looked at you, behold, your time was the time of love; and I spread my skirt over you, and covered your nakedness: yes, I swore to you, and entered into a covenant with you, says the Lord Yahweh, and you became mine.

⁹ Then washed I you with water; yes, I thoroughly washed away your blood from you, and I anointed you with oil.

¹⁰ I clothed you also with embroidered work, and shod you with sealskin, and I girded you about with fine linen, and covered you with silk.

¹¹ I decked you with ornaments, and I put bracelets on your hands, and a chain on your neck.

¹² I put a ring on your nose, and ear-rings in your ears, and a beautiful crown on your head.

¹³ Thus was you decked with gold and silver; and your clothing was of fine linen, and silk, and embroidered work; you ate fine flour, and honey, and oil; and you were exceeding beautiful, and you did prosper to royal estate.

¹⁴ Your renown went forth among the nations for your beauty; for it was perfect, through my majesty which I had put on you, says the Lord Yahweh.

¹⁵ But you did trust in your beauty, and played the prostitute because of your renown, and poured out your prostitution on everyone who passed by; his it was.

¹⁶ You took of your garments, and made for yourselves high places decked with various colors, and played the prostitute on them: [the like things] shall not come, neither shall it be [so].

⁹ In all their affliction he was afflicted, and the angel of his presence saved them: in his love and in his pity he redeemed them; and he bore them, and carried them all the days of old.

⁷ Listen to me, you who know righteousness, the people in whose heart is my law; don't you fear the reproach of men, neither be you dismayed at their insults.

¹ Listen to me, you who follow after righteousness, you who seek Yahweh: look to the rock whence you were hewn, and to the hold of the pit whence you were dug.

¹ Listen, isles, to me; and listen, you peoples, from far: Yahweh has called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother has he made mention of my name:

² and he has made my mouth like a sharp sword; in the shadow of his hand has he hid me: and he has made me a polished shaft; in his quiver has he kept me close:

¹⁷ Thus says Yahweh, your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel: I am Yahweh your God, who teaches you to profit, who leads you by the way that you should go.

¹⁸ Oh that you had listened to my commandments! then had your peace been as a river, and your righteousness as the waves of the sea:

⁴ 'You have seen what I did to the Egyptians, and how I bore you on eagles' wings, and brought you to myself.

⁸ "Hear, my people, and I will testify to you, Israel, if you would listen to me!

⁹ There shall be no strange god in you, Neither shall you worship any foreign god.

¹⁰ I am Yahweh, your God, Who brought you up out of the land of Egypt. Open your mouth wide, and I will fill it.

¹¹ But my people didn't listen to my voice. Israel desired none of me.

¹² So I let them go after the stubbornness of their hearts, That they might walk in their own counsels.

¹³ Oh that my people would listen to me, That Israel would walk in my ways!

¹¹ It shall happen in that day, that the Lord will set his hand again the second time to recover the remnant of his people, who shall remain, from Assyria, and from Egypt, and from Pathros, and from Cush, and from Elam, and from Shinar, and from Hamath, and from the islands of the sea.

⁴ It may be Yahweh your God will hear the words of Rabshakeh, whom the king of Assyria his master has sent to defy the living God, and will rebuke the words which Yahweh your God has heard. Therefore lift up your prayer for the remnant that is left.

¹ Yet now hear, Jacob my servant, and Israel, who I have chosen:

² Thus says Yahweh who made you, and formed you from the womb, who will help you: Don't be afraid, Jacob my servant; and you, Jeshurun, whom I have chosen.

²¹ Remember these things, Jacob, and Israel; for you are my servant: I have formed you; you are my servant: Israel, you shall not be forgotten by me.

¹² Listen to me, you stout-hearted, who are far from righteousness:

¹ Hear you this, house of Jacob, who are called by the name of Israel, and are come forth out of the waters of Judah; who swear by the name of Yahweh, and make mention of the God of Israel, but not in truth, nor in righteousness

¹¹ As an eagle that stirs up her nest, That flutters over her young, He spread abroad his wings, he took them, He bore them on his feathers.

¹² Yahweh alone did lead him, There was no foreign god with him.
