2Thus says LORD JEHOVAH who made you, and he formed you in the womb, and he helped you: “Do not be afraid, my Servant, Yaqob, and Israel, whom I have chosen

3Because I shall give waters in the thirsty place and a streams in the dry land. I shall pour out my Spirit on your seed and my blessing on your children

4And they shall sprout up from among the grass as willows that are by streams of waters

5This one will say, “I am of LORD JEHOVAH”, and this one will call on the name of Yaqob, and this one the hand LORD JEHOVAH will write, and in the name of Israel he will be named

6Thus says LORD JEHOVAH, the King of Israel, and his Savior, LORD JEHOVAH of Hosts his Name: “I AM The First and I AM The Last, and there is no god outside of me

7And who is like me? He should call and he should prepare himself and he will show what I have ordained the people for eternity, and let them show the signs that are coming

8You shall not be afraid and you shall not be terrified. Have I not made heard to you from former time and shown you, and you are my witnesses? There is no God outside of me, and there is none who is mighty whom I do not know

9All of the Craftsman who make images are worthless, and there is no gain by their works which they lusted to make, and Craftsman testified they had made them, that they do not see, and they do not hear and they do not know 10Because of this, those who are making gods and are forming molten images shall be ashamed, because there is no profit in them 11Behold all their Craftsmen are deaf. All of them shall be gathered from the children of men, and let them stand and they shall be ashamed, and they shall be put to shame together

12The carpenter who sharpens iron and hews it with an ax and carves it with an auger, and he makes it with the power of his arm, also he is hungry and he is thirsty and drinks no water and he is exhausted 13The carpenter chooses wood and he measures it, and he fastens it with glue, and he carves it and he makes it in the likeness of a man, according to the beauty of a son of man 14And he sets it up in the house, a tree that was cut down from the forest that was grown in the rain 15That would be for a person for burning, and they took some of it and they got heat, and they baked bread, also they made a god, and they worshiped it. They made a carved image and they bowed to it 16Half of it they burned in the fire and they roasted meat on its coals, and they ate and were satisfied, also they were warm and they said: “Ah! I am warm, and I watched the fire” 17And the rest they made a god, a carved image, and they bowed to it and they prayed to it, and they said: “Deliver us, because you are our god!”

18And they have not known, and they were not wise, for the sight of their eyes and the understanding of their heart is obstructed 19And they have not brought upon their heart and they have not known and they have not considered and said that half of it they burned in fire, and upon its coals they baked bread, and they roasted meat and they ate, and its remainder they made an idol of wood for themselves and they bowed to it 20Their heart is feeding on ashes and straying, it is going astray, and they are not saving their soul and they are not saying: "Our right hand has wrought falsehood!"

21Remember these things, Yaqob and Israel, that you are my Servant. I have formed you a Servant for myself, therefore, Israel, you shall not forget me.

22I have put away your evil as thick darkness and your sins as a cloud. Turn to me, for I have redeemed you!

23Sing, Heavens, because LORD JEHOVAH has worked! Blow the trumpets, foundations of the Earth! Celebrate in praise, mountains, and forest and all trees in it, for LORD JEHOVAH has redeemed Yaqob and in Israel he is glorified!

24Thus says LORD JEHOVAH, who redeemed you, and he formed you in the womb, and he helped you: “I AM LORD JEHOVAH, for I have made all things. I stretched out Heaven, I alone, and I spread out the Earth from myself and for myself

25He brings to nothing the signs of mediums, and their omens I despise, turning back wise men on their backside, and I cause their knowledge to fall

26Establishing the word of his Servant, and bringing to perfection the mind of his Messengers; who said to Jerusalem: "You shall be inhabited”, also to the villages of Judea, that they shall be built, and I shall raise up its neighbors

27Who said to the deep: “Be empty”, and your rivers, “Dry up"

28Who said to Cyrus, my Shepherd, that he shall perform all my will; saying to Jerusalem: "You shall be built, and the Temple shall be finished"
