4  Ah, sinful nation,

a people laden with iniquity,

^koffspring of evildoers,

children who deal corruptly!

They have forsaken the Lord,

they have ^ldespised ^mthe Holy One of Israel,

they are utterly ⁿestranged.

19  who say: ^v“Let him be quick,

let him speed his work

that we may see it;

let the counsel of the Holy One of Israel draw near,

and let it come, that we may know it!”

24  Therefore, ^bas the tongue of fire devours the stubble,

and as dry grass sinks down in the flame,

so ^ctheir root will be ^das rottenness,

and their blossom go up like dust;

for they have ^erejected the law of the Lord of hosts,

and have ^fdespised the word of the Holy One of Israel.

6  Shout, and sing for joy, O inhabitant of Zion,

for great ^din your¹ midst is ^ethe Holy One of Israel.”

19  ^fThe meek shall obtain fresh joy in the Lord,

and the poor among mankind shall exult in the Holy One of Israel.

11  leave the way, turn aside from the path,

let us hear no more about the Holy One of Israel.”

12  Therefore thus says the Holy One of Israel,

“Because you despise this word

and trust in ^hoppression and perverseness

and rely on them,

15  For thus said the Lord God, the Holy One of Israel,

“In ^kreturning¹ and ^lrest you shall be saved;

in quietness and in trust shall be your strength.”

But you were unwilling,

1  Woe¹ to ^vthose who go down to Egypt for help

and rely on horses,

who ^wtrust in chariots because they are many

and in horsemen because they are very strong,

but ^xdo not look to the Holy One of Israel

or consult the Lord!

23  “‘Whom have you mocked and reviled?

Against whom have you raised your voice

and lifted your eyes to the heights?

Against ^ythe Holy One of Israel!

14  Fear not, you ^gworm Jacob,

you men of Israel!

I am the one who helps you, declares the Lord;

your ^hRedeemer is the Holy One of Israel.

16  ^kyou shall winnow them, and ^lthe wind shall carry them away,

and the tempest shall scatter them.

^mAnd you shall rejoice in the Lord;

in the Holy One of Israel you shall glory.

20  that they may see and know,

may consider and understand together,

that ^sthe hand of the Lord has done this,

the Holy One of Israel has created it.

3  For ^rI am the Lord your God,

the Holy One of Israel, your Savior.

^sI give Egypt as your ransom,

Cush and ^tSeba in exchange for you.

14  Thus says the Lord,

your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel:

^e“For your sake I send to Babylon

and ^fbring them all down as fugitives,

^geven the Chaldeans, in the ships in which they rejoice.

11  Thus says ^fthe Lord,

the Holy One of Israel, and the one who formed him:

^g“Ask me of things to come;

will you command me ^hconcerning my children and ⁱthe work of my hands?¹

4  ^lOur Redeemer—the Lord of hosts is his name—

is the Holy One of Israel.

17  Thus says the Lord,

your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel:

“I am the Lord your God,

who teaches you to profit,

who leads you in the way you should go.

7  Thus says the Lord,

^wthe Redeemer of Israel and his Holy One,

^xto one deeply despised, abhorred by the nation,

the servant of rulers:

^y“Kings shall see and arise;

princes, and they shall prostrate themselves;

because of the Lord, who is faithful,

the Holy One of Israel, who has chosen you.”

5  ⁿFor your Maker is your husband,

the Lord of hosts is his name;

^oand the Holy One of Israel is your Redeemer,

^pthe God of the whole earth he is called.

5  ^kBehold, you shall call a nation that you do not know,

and ^ma nation that did not know you shall run to you,

because of the Lord your God, and of the Holy One of Israel,

ⁿfor he has glorified you.

9  For ^rthe coastlands shall hope for me,

^sthe ships of Tarshish first,

^tto bring your children from afar,

their silver and gold with them,

for the name of the Lord your God,

and for the Holy One of Israel,

because ^uhe has made you beautiful.

14  ^aThe sons of those who afflicted you

shall come bending low to you,

^band all who despised you

shall bow down at your feet;

^cthey shall call you the City of the Lord,

the Zion of the Holy One of Israel.
