Isaiah 46:1-13 Their Idols Couldn't Save Them From Captivity

 

Their Idols Couldn't Save Them From Captivity

Isaiah 46:1-13                                The Book of Isaiah [in Smaller Chunks]

Their idols were upon the [animals] & upon the cattle. Bel bows down & Nebo stoops [over.] Your carriages were [loaded heavily.] They [were] a burden to the [tired animals.] They stoop  & they bow down together.

They couldn't deliver the burden, but [they have] gone into captivity. [Pay attention] to Me, O house of Jacob & all [those remaining] of the house of Israel, [who] are [carried] from the womb & are borne by Me from the [stomach.]

[Jeremiah 1:5 Before I formed you in the [stomach,] I knew you. And before you came forth out of the womb, I sanctified you & I [appointed] you, [as] a prophet to the nations.]

And even [until] your old age, I Am He, even [until you have gray] hair, I will carry you. I have made [you,] & I will bear [you] & I will even carry & deliver you. To whom will you [make] Me [similar] & make Me equal & compare Me, that we may be [alike?]

They lavish gold out of the bag & weigh silver in the balance & hire a goldsmith & he makes it a god. [Yes,] they fall down & worship [it.] They [put] him upon [their] shoulders & carry him & put him in his place, [so he's] not [removed.]

And [it] stands from [its] place & [someone] shall cry [out] to him, [but] he can't answer, nor save [himself] out of his trouble. Remember this & [show] yourselves [to be] men.  O you [sinners,] bring it to mind again. Remember the [previous] things of old: for I Am God & there is none else.

I Am God & there [are] none like Me, declaring the end, from the beginning & the things that [haven't happened] yet, from ancient times, saying, My [advice] shall stand & I will do all My pleasure.

Calling the man from a [distant] country, a ravenous bird from the east, [who carries out] My [advice.] [Yes,] I have spoken it & I will also [make it happen.] I have [intended] it & I will also do it. [Pay attention] to Me, you stouthearted, [who] are far from righteousness.

[Zechariah 7:11-12 But they refused to [pay attention] & pulled away [their shoulders] & stopped their ears, [so] that they [couldn't] hear. [Yes,] they made their hearts as [hard as] stone, lest they should hear the Law & the Words, [that] the Lord of Hosts has sent, [through] His Spirit by the former prophets. Therefore, great wrath [comes] from the Lord of Hosts.]

I bring My righteousness near. It shall not be far [away] & My Salvation shall not [delay.] And I will place Salvation in Zion for Israel, My glory. [2 Peter 3:9-10 The Lord isn't slack [about] His promise, [like] some men [consider] slackness; but is [patient] to us, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.

*But the day of the Lord will come [like] a thief in the night; in which the heavens shall pass away with great noise & the elements shall melt with fervent heat & also the earth & the [things made] that are [in there,] shall be burned up.]

Isaiah 45:1-25 The Lord God Tells King Cyrus, He Will Be with Him

 

The Lord God Tells King Cyrus, He Will Be with Him

Isaiah 45:1-25                                The Book of Isaiah [in Smaller Chunks]

The Lord says [this,] to Cyrus, His anointed, whose right hand I have [held,] to [bring] nations [under his control] before him. And I will [loosen the belt] of kings & to open before [Cyrus,] the 2 [hinged] gates & the gates shall not be shut. I will go before you & make the crooked places straight.

I will break [into] pieces the brass gates & cut in [pieces] the iron bars. And I will give you the treasures of darkness & hidden riches [from] secret places, [so] that you may know that I, the Lord, [Who] calls you by your name, Am the God of Israel. For Jacob, My servant's sake & Israel, [My chosen,] I have even called you by your name.

I have surnamed you, [although] you haven't known Me. I Am the Lord & there is [no other.] There is no God [besides] Me. I [clothed] you, [although] you haven't known me. [So,] that from the [sunrise] & from the west, they may know that there is none [besides] Me.

I Am the Lord & there is none else. I [formed] the light & [created] darkness. [Genesis 1:2-5 And the earth was without form & void. And darkness was upon the [surface] of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the [surface] of the waters. And God said, Let there be light & there was light.

And God saw the light & that it was good. And God divided the light from the darkness. And God called the light: Day & He called the darkness: Night. And the evening & the morning were the 1st day.]

I make peace & create [calamity.] I, the Lord, do all these things. [Rain] down [drops,] you heavens from above & let the skies pour down righteousness. Let the earth open & let them bring forth Salvation & let the [righteous sprout] up together. I, the Lord, have created it.

[Distress to those who argue] with his Maker! Let the [shard of a broken clay pot argue] with the [pot shards] of the earth. Shall the clay [pot shard] say to him, [who formed] it, What [are you making?] Or [shall] your work [say,] [Hasn't it any] hands?

[Distress] to him [who says] to his father, What [do] you [father?] Or to the woman, What have you [delivered?] The Lord, the Holy One of Israel & his Maker, says [this,] Ask Me [about] things to [happen] concerning My sons & you command Me [about] the work of My hands.

I have made the earth & have created man upon it. I, even My hands, have stretched out the heavens & I have commanded all their [stars & constellations.] [Genesis 1:14-19 And God said, Let there be light in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night. And let them be for signs & seasons & for days & years. And let them be for light in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth & it was so.

And God made two great lights. The greater light to rule the day & the lesser light to rule the night & He also made the stars. And God [put] them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth & to rule over the day & over the night & to divide the light from the darkness. And God saw that it was good. And the evening & the morning were the 4th day.]

I have raised [Cyrus] up in righteousness & I will direct all his ways. He shall [rebuild] My city & he shall [release] My captives, not for price, nor reward, says the Lord of Hosts. The Lord says [this, Egypt's] labor & the merchandise of Ethiopia & the Sabeans, [tall] men shall come over to you & they shall be yours.

They shall come after you in chains & they shall fall down to you. They shall make [requests] to you, saying, Surely God is in you & there is none else, there is no [other] God. [Joel 2:27 And you shall know that I Am in the midst of Israel & that I Am the Lord your God & none else. And My people shall never be ashamed.]

[Truly, You are a God, [Who] hides Yourself, O God of Israel, the Savior. They shall be ashamed & also confused, all of them. [Those who make] idols shall [be confused] together. But Israel shall be saved [by] the Lord, with an everlasting Salvation. You shall not be ashamed, nor [confused,] world without end.

For the Lord, [Who] created the heavens, says [this;] God, [Who] Himself formed the earth & made it. He has established it. He [didn't] create it in vain. He formed it to be inhabited. I Am the Lord & there is none else. I haven't spoken in secret, dark, [hidden] places of the earth.

I [didn't] say to the [descendants] of Jacob, Seek Me in vain. I, the Lord, speak in righteousness. I declare things that are [correct.] Assemble yourselves, come & draw near together, you, [who] have escaped [from] the nations.

[Those who put] up the wood of their [carved] image have no knowledge & pray to a god that can't save. You tell [them] & bring them near. [Yes,] let them [consult] together. Who has declared this from ancient [times?] Who has told it from that time? Haven't I, the Lord? And there isn't [any other] God, [besides] Me. A [fair] God & a Savior. There is none [besides] Me.

Look to Me & you be saved, all the ends of the earth. [Romans 10:9-12 That if you shall confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus & shall believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you shall be saved. For with the heart, man believes, [which leads to] righteousness & with the mouth, confession is made, [which leads to] Salvation.

For the scripture says, [Whoever] believes [in] Him, shall not be ashamed. For there is no difference between the Jew & the Greek, [a.k.a. Gentile, or heathen, or previous non-believers,] for the same Lord over all is rich unto all, [who] call upon Him.]

For I Am God & there is none else. *I have sworn by Myself, the Word [has] gone out of My mouth in righteousness & shall not return. [So] that every knee shall bow [down] & every tongue shall swear to Me.

Surely [someone] shall say, I have righteousness & strength in the Lord. Even men shall come to Him & all [who] are [enraged] against Him, shall be ashamed. All the [descendants] of Israel shall [glorify] & be justified in the Lord

Isaiah 44:1-28 Those Who Make & Worship Engraved Images

 

Those Who Make & Worship Engraved Images

Isaiah 44:1-28                               The Book of Isaiah [in Smaller Chunks]

[Still] hear now, O Jacob My servant & Israel, whom I've chosen, the Lord, [Who] made you & formed you from the womb & Who will help you, says [this, Don't be afraid,] O Jacob, My servant & you, Jeshurun, [a.k.a. Israel,] whom I have chosen.

For I will pour water upon him, [who] is thirsty & floods upon the dry ground. I will pour [out] My Spirit upon your [descendants] & My Blessing upon your offspring. And they shall [sprout] up [like] among the grass, [like] willows by the water [ways.]

[Someone] shall say, I am the Lord's & another shall call himself by the name of Jacob. And another shall with his hand [pledge] to the Lord & [give] himself the [family] name of Israel.

The Lord, the King of Israel & his Redeemer, the Lord of Hosts says [this;] I Am the First & I Am the Last & beside Me, there is no God. [Revelation 1:17-18 And when I saw Him, I fell at His feet [like] dead. And He laid His right hand upon me, saying to me, [Don't] fear, I Am the First & the Last. I Am He, [Who] lives & was dead. And [look,] I Am alive forevermore. Amen. And [I] have the keys of hell & of death.]

Since I [established] the ancient people & the things that are coming & shall [happen,] who, shall call [out,] declare it & [put] it in order for Me, [like] I [can?] Let them [declare] the things that are coming & shall [happen] to them. [Isaiah 41:4 Who has [brought about] & done it, calling the generations from the beginning? I, the Lord, the First & the Last. I Am He.]

[Don’t] fear & neither be afraid. Haven't I told you from that time & have declared it? You are even My witnesses. Is there a God [besides] Me? There is no God. I know not any. [Those who] make a [carved] image are all of them [just] vanity & their [delicacies are] not [beneficial.]

And they are their own witnesses, [but] they [don't] see, nor [do] they know, [so] that they may be ashamed. Who has formed a god, or [molded] a [carved] image that is [beneficial] for nothing? [Look,] all his [friends] shall be ashamed & the workmen are [only] men.

Let them all be gathered together. Let them stand up. [Yet,] they shall fear & shall be ashamed together. [Psalm 97:7 All [those who] serve [carved] images & boast themselves of idols [are] confused. Worship [the Lord,] all you gods.]

The [blacksmith] with the tongs, both works in the coals, fashions it with hammers & works it with the strength of his arms. [Yes,] he is hungry & his strength fails. He [hasn't drunk any] water & is faint.

The carpenter stretches out his [ruler] & he marks it out with a line & he [levels] it with planes. And he marks it out with the compass & makes it [like] the [image] of a man, according to the beauty of a man, [so] that it may remain in the house.

He [cuts himself] down cedars & takes cypress & oak, which he [gets] for [himself] among the trees of the forest. He plants an ash & the rain [nourishes] it. Then, it shall be for a man to burn. For he will take [some] of it & warm himself. [Yes,] he kindles it & bakes bread. [Yet,] he makes a god & worships it.

He makes it a [carved] image & falls down [to it there.] He burns part [of it] in the fire. With part [of it,] he eats [meat] & he roasts [a] roast & is satisfied. [Yet,] he warms himself & says, Aha, I've seen the fire & I am warm. And the [remainder of it,] he makes a god, even his [carved] image.

He falls down to it & worships it & prays to it & says, Deliver me; for you are my god. They haven't known, or understood: for He has [closed] their eyes & hearts [so] that they can't see & understand. [Jeremiah 10:14 Every man is [ignorant] in his knowledge. Every [blacksmith] is [confused] by the [carved] image & for his [molded images are a] falsehood & there is no breath in them.]

And [no one] considers in his heart & neither is there knowledge, nor understanding to say, I have burned part of it in the fire; [yes,] I have also baked bread upon [its] coals. I have roasted [meat] & eaten it & shall I make the [rest of it] an abomination? Shall I fall down to [worship] the [stump] of a tree?

He [devours] ashes & a deceived heart has turned him [astray, so] that he can't deliver his [life,] nor say, Isn't there a lie in my right hand? [Romans 1:21-23 Because, when they knew God, they [didn't] glorify Him, as God. Neither were they thankful; but became vain in their imaginations & their foolish heart was darkened.

[Declaring] themselves to be wise, they became fools & changed the glory of the [incorruptible] God, into an image made [similar] to corruptible man, birds, four-footed [animals] & creeping things.] O Jacob & Israel, remember these, for you are My [servants.] I have formed you & you are My servant & you [won't] be forgotten [by] Me.

[Like] a thick cloud, I have blotted out your transgressions & [like] a cloud your sins [are covered.] Return to Me, for I have Redeemed you. [Isaiah 43:25 I, even I, Am He, [Who] blots out your transgressions for [My] Own sake & will not remember your sins.]

O you heavens, sing for the Lord has [accomplished] it. Shout, you lower parts of the earth & break [out] into singing, you mountains. The Lord has Redeemed Jacob & glorified Himself in Israel, O Forest & every tree [in it.]

The Lord your Redeemer, He, [Who] formed you from the womb, says [this,] I Am the Lord, [Who creates] all things. [Who] stretches [out] the heavens alone & spreads [out] the earth by Myself. [Who defeats] the [symbols] of the liars & makes diviners [insane.]

[Who] turns wise men backward & makes their knowledge foolish. [Who] confirms the word of His servant & [accomplishes] the counsel of His messengers. [Who] says to Jerusalem, You shall be inhabited & to the cities of Judah, You shall be [rebuilt] & I will raise up [its] decayed places.

[Who] says to the deep, Be dry & I will dry up your rivers. [Who] says of Cyrus, He is My shepherd & shall [do] all My pleasure. [He] even [says] to Jerusalem, You shall be [rebuilt] & to the temple, Your foundation shall be [relaid.]

[2 Chronicles 36:22-23 Now, in the 1st year of Cyrus, [Persia's] king, the Lord stirred up the spirit of Cyrus, [so] that he made a proclamation throughout all his kingdom & also put it in writing saying, Cyrus, [Persia's] king, says [this,] The Lord God of heaven has given me all the kingdoms of the earth.

And He has [given me the responsibility] to [rebuild] Him a house in Jerusalem, [that] is in Judah, [so] the Word of the Lord, spoken by the mouth of Jeremiah, might be accomplished.]

Isaiah 43:1-28 The Lord God Called Them by Name

 

The Lord God Called Them by Name

Isaiah 43:1-28                                The Book of Isaiah [in Smaller Chunks]

But now, the Lord, [Who] created you & He, [Who] formed you says [this,] O Jacob & O Israel, [Don't] fear: for I have Redeemed you. I have called you by your name & you are Mine. When you [pass] through the waters & the rivers, I will be with you. They shall not [flood over] you.

When you walk through the fire, you shall not be burned & neither shall the flames [grow] upon you. [Daniel 3:24-25 Then, king Nebuchadnezzar was [astonished] & rose up in [a hurry, spoke] & said to his counselors, Didn't we [throw] 3 [tied up] men into the fire?

They answered & said to the king, True, O king. He answered & said, [Look,] I see 4 men loose, walking in the [middle] of the fire & they have no [harm] & the form of the 4th is like the Son of God.]

For I Am the Lord your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior. I gave Egypt for your ransom & Ethiopia & Seba, [in place of] you. Since you [were] precious in My sight, you have been honorable & I have loved you. Therefore, I will give men for you & people for your life.

[Isaiah 63:8-9 For He said, Surely they are My people, children that will not lie, so He was their Savior. In all their [suffering,] He was afflicted & [in] His presence, the Angel saved them. In His love & in His pity, He redeemed them & carried them all the days of old.]

[Don't] fear, for I am with you. I will bring your [descendants] from the East & gather you from the West. I will say to the North, Give up & to the South, [Don't withhold.] Bring My sons from far & My daughters from the ends of the earth.

Even, everyone, [who] is called by My Name, for I have created him for My glory & I have formed him. [Yes,] I have made him. Bring [out] the blind people, [who] have eyes & the deaf people, [who] have ears. Let all the nations be gathered together & let the people be assembled.

Who among them can declare this & [show] us [previous] things? Let them bring [forward] their witnesses, [so] that they may be justified: or let them hear & say, It is [true.] You are My witnesses, says the Lord & My servant, whom I have chosen: [so] that you may know & believe Me & understand that I Am He.

Before Me, there was no God formed, neither shall there be after Me. I, even I, Am the Lord & beside Me, there is no Savior. I have declared & have saved & I have [shown,] when there was no strange god among you. Therefore, you are My witnesses, says the Lord, that I Am God.

[Yes,] before the day was, I am He & there [are] none that can deliver out of My hand. I will work & who shall [authorize] it. [Isaiah 45:19-20 I haven't spoken in secret, in a dark [hidden] place of the earth. I [didn't] say to the [descendants] of Jacob, You seek Me in vain.

I, the Lord, speak Righteousness. I declare things that are right. Assemble yourselves & come. Draw near together, you, [who] are escaped [from] the nations. [Those] have no knowledge, [who] set up the wood of their [carved] image & pray to a god that can't save.]

The Lord, your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel says [this;] I have sent to Babylon for your sake & have brought down all their nobles & the Chaldeans, whose [out] cry is [on] the ships. I Am the Lord, your Holy One, the Creator of Israel, your King.

The Lord says [this, Who] makes a [road] in the sea & a path in the mighty waters. [Who] brings [forward] the: [chariots & horses,] the army & the power. They shall lie down together & they shall nor rise. They are extinct & they are [put out like kindling] [from a campfire is put out.]

[Don't] you remember the [previous] things, [or] consider the things of old. [Look,] I will do a new thing. It shall spring up & shall you not now know it? I will even make a [road] in the wilderness & rivers in the desert.

The [animals] of the field shall honor Me & the [jackals] & owls: because I give waters in the wilderness & rivers in the desert to give drink to My people, My chosen. I have formed this people for Myself & they shall [declare] My praise.

But you haven't called upon Me, O Jacob; but you have been [tired] of Me, O Israel. You haven't brought Me the [small livestock] of your burnt offerings. Neither have you honored Me with your sacrifices. I haven't caused you to serve with an offering, nor [tired] you with incense.

[Acts 7:42-43 Then God turned & gave them up to worship the [stars & constellations] of heaven; [like] it is written in the book of the prophets, O you house of Israel, have you offered to Me, [slaughtered animals] & sacrifices [over] the space of 40 years in the wilderness?

[Yet,] you took up the tabernacle of Moloch & the star of your god, Remphan, figures [that] you made, to worship them. And I will carry you away, beyond Babylon.]

You have brought Me no sweet cane with money, neither have you filled Me with the fat of your sacrifices: but you have made Me to [deal] with your sins. You have [tired] Me with your iniquities. I, even I, Am He, [Who] blots out your transgressions for [My] Own sake & will not remember your sins.

[Remember] Me & let us plead together & you declare, [so] that you may be justified. Your 1st [forefather, a.k.a. Adam,] sinned & your teachers have transgressed against Me.

[Exodus 32:7-8 And the Lord said to Moses, Go, get [yourself] down; for your people, [that] you brought out of the land of Egypt, have corrupted themselves. They have [gone astray] quickly out of the [path that] I have commanded them.

They have made [themselves] a [molded] calf & have worshiped it & have sacrificed [to it] & said, These [are] your gods, O Israel, [that] have brought you up out of the land of Egypt.]

Therefore, I have [defiled] the princes of the sanctuary & have given Jacob to the curse & Israel to [disgrace.] [Jeremiah 24:9 And I will deliver them to be removed into all the kingdoms of the earth for their [harm,] to be a [disgrace,] a proverb, a [taunting song] & a curse, in all places [where] I shall drive them.]

Isaiah 42:1-25 Foretells of Jesus Bringing Justice to the Gentiles

 

Foretells of Jesus Bringing Justice to the Gentiles

Isaiah 42:1-25                                The Book of Isaiah [in Smaller Chunks]

*[See,] My servant, Whom I [endorse; My chosen,] in Whom My soul delights. I have put My Spirit in Him & He shall bring forth [justice] to the Gentiles. [Matthew 3:16-17 And when Jesus was baptized, He went up [immediately] out of the water & [saw,] the heavens were opened to Him & He saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove & lighting upon Him. And a voice from heaven, saying, This is My Beloved Son, in Whom I am well pleased.]

He shall not cry [out,] nor [raise up] His voice to be heard in the street. He shall not break a bruised reed & He shall not quench smoking flax & He shall bring forth [justice] unto Truth.

*He shall not fail, nor be discouraged, [until] He [has put justice on] the earth & the [coastal islands] shall wait for His Law. [Genesis 49:10 *The scepter shall not depart from Judah, nor a lawgiver from between his feet, until Shiloh [comes] & to Him shall be the gathering of people.]

The Lord God says [this,] He [Who] created the heavens & stretched them out, He [Who] spread [out] the earth & [what] comes out of it, He [Who] gives breath to the people upon it & [life] to [those who] walk there.

[Genesis 1:11-13 And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, upon the earth & the herb [producing] seed & the fruit tree [producing] fruit after [its] kind, whose seed is in itself & it was so.

And the earth brought forth grass & herb [producing] seed after [its] kind & the tree [producing] fruit, whose seed was in itself, after [its] kind & God saw that it was good. And the evening & the morning were the 3rd day.]

In righteousness, I, the Lord, have called You & will hold Your hand & will keep You & will give You [as] a Covenant [for] the people & for a Light [to] the Gentiles. [Matthew 4:14-17 That [what] was spoken by [Isaiah,] the prophet, might be fulfilled, saying, *The land of [Zebulun] & [Naphtali,] by the [road] of the sea, [in] Galilee of the Gentiles, beyond Jordan.

The people, [who] sat in darkness saw a great Light & to [those who] sat [in] the shadow of death in the region, Light has sprung up. From that time, Jesus began to preach & to say, Repent: for the Kingdom of heaven is at hand.]

*To open the blind eyes, to bring out: the prisoners from the prison & [those who] sit in darkness out from the prison [& to their] house. I Am the Lord. That is My Name & I will not give My glory to another, [nor] My praise to [carved] images.

[See,] the [previous] things [have already happened] & I do declare new things & I tell them [to] you before they [happen.] All you [who] go down to the sea & all [that's within them,] the [coastal islands] & [its residents,] sing to the Lord a new song & His praise from the end of the earth.

Let the wilderness & [its] cities, the villages that Kedar [inhabits] & the [rock's inhabitants,] lift up their [voices] & sing & let them shout from the mountain [tops.] Let them give glory to the Lord & declare His praise in the [coastal] islands.

The Lord shall go [out] as a mighty man & He shall stir up jealousy, like a man of war. [Matthew 27:17-18 Therefore, when they were gathered together, Pilate said to them, Whom [do] you [want] that I release to you? Barabas, or Jesus, [Who] is called Christ? For he knew that they had delivered Him, for envy.]

He shall cry [out, yes,] roar. [Matthew 27:46 And about the 9th hour, Jesus cried [out,] with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? That is to say, My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?]

He shall prevail against His enemies. [Acts 1:8-11 But you shall receive power after the Holy Ghost, [a.k.a. Holy Spirit, has] come upon you. And you shall be witnesses to Me both in: Jerusalem, Judaea, Samaria & to the [furthest parts] of the earth. And when He had spoken these things, while they [watched,] He was taken up & a cloud received Him, out of their sight.

And while they looked steadfastly toward heaven as He went up, [saw] 2 men stood by them in white [garments; who] said, You men of Galilee, why [do] you stand gazing up into heaven? This same Jesus, [Who] is taken up from you into heaven, shall [also] come in like manner, as you have seen Him go into heaven.]

I have [held] My peace [a] long time & I have been still & refrained Myself. Now I will cry [out] like a woman [in delivery.] I will destroy & devour at once. I will make; mountains & hills waste [lands] & will dry up all their [vegetation.] And I will make islands [in] the rivers & I will dry up the [ponds.]

And I will bring the blind by a [road] that they [don't know.] I will lead them in paths that they haven't known. I will make darkness, Light before them & crooked [places,] straight. I will do these things to them & not [abandon] them. [John 8:12 Then, Jesus [spoke] again to them, saying, I Am the Light of the world. He, [who] follows Me, shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the Light of Life.]

They shall be [returned] back & [those who] trust in [carved] images & say to [molded] images, You are our gods, shall be greatly ashamed. Hear, you deaf & look you blind, [so] that you may see. Who is blind, but My servant? Or deaf, [like] My messenger that I sent?

Who is blind [like] he, [who is blameless] & blind [like] the Lord's servant? Seeing many things, but you [don't] observe. Opening the ears, but they [don't listen.] [Isaiah 43:6-8 I will say to the North, Give up & to the South, [Don't hold back.] Bring My sons from far & My daughters from the ends of the earth. Even everyone, [who] is called by My Name.

For I have created [them] for My glory. I have formed [them,] Yes, I have made [them.] Bring [forward] the blind people, [who] have eyes & the deaf, [who] have ears.]

For His righteousness sake, the Lord is well-pleased & He will magnify the Law & make it honorable. But this is a people robbed & [plundered.] They are, all of them [trapped] in holes & they are [hidden] in prison houses. They are [like] a prey & [plunder] & [no one] delivers & none say, Restore.

[Isaiah 63:5-6 And I looked & there was [no one] to help. And I wondered that there [were] none to uphold. Therefore, [My] Own arm brought Salvation to Me & My fury, upheld Me. And I will [trample] down the people in [My] anger & make them drunk in My fury & I will bring down their strength to the [ground.]

Who among you will [lend your] ear to this? Who will [pay attention] & [listen] for the time to come? Who gave Jacob for [plunder] & Israel to the robbers? Didn't the Lord, against Whom we have sinned?

For they wouldn't walk in His ways, neither [would] they [obey] His Law. Therefore, He has poured upon [them,] the fury of His anger & the strength of battle. And it has set Him on fire [all around,] yet [they] [didn't] know & it burned [them.] [Still,] [they] [didn't take] it to heart.

[Revelation 16:8-9 And the 4th Angel poured out his vial upon the sun & power was given to him to scorch men with fire. And men were scorched with great heat & blasphemed the Name of God, [Who] has power over these plagues & they [didn’t] repent, nor give Him glory.]
