4  Ah, sinful nation,

a people laden with iniquity,

^joffspring of evildoers,

children who deal corruptly!

They have ^kforsaken the Lord,

they have ^ldespised the Holy One of Israel,

they are utterly ^mestranged.

19  who say: ⁿ“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, as the tongue of fire devours the stubble,

and as dry grass sinks down in the flame,

so their root will be as rottenness,

and their blossom go up like dust;

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

and have despised the word of the Holy One of Israel.

6  ^bShout, and sing for joy, O inhabitant of Zion,

for great in your¹ midst is the Holy One of Israel.”

19  The ⁱmeek 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 ^tdespise this word

and trust in oppression and perverseness

and rely on them,

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

“In returning¹ and rest you shall be saved;

in quietness and in trust shall be your strength.”

^uBut you were unwilling,

1  Woe¹ to those who ^kgo down to Egypt for help

and ^lrely on horses,

who trust in chariots because they are many

and in horsemen because they are very strong,

but do 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 the Holy One of Israel!

14  Fear not, you worm Jacob,

you men of Israel!

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

^oyour Redeemer is the Holy One of Israel.

16  you shall winnow them, and the wind shall carry them away,

and the tempest shall scatter them.

And you shall rejoice in the Lord;

in the Holy One of Israel you shall ^qglory.

20  that they may see and know,

may consider and understand together,

^vthat the hand of the Lord has done this,

the Holy One of Israel has created it.

3  For I am the Lord your God,

the Holy One of Israel, your Savior.

I give ^wEgypt as your ransom,

Cush and Seba in exchange for you.

14  Thus says the Lord,

your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel:

“For your sake I send to Babylon

and bring them all down as fugitives,

even the Chaldeans, in the ships in which they rejoice.

11  Thus says the Lord,

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

“Ask me of things to come;

will you command me concerning my ^vchildren and the work of my hands?¹

4  Our ^fRedeemer—^gthe Lord of hosts is his name—

is the Holy One of Israel.

17  Thus says the Lord,

your ^yRedeemer, 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,

the ^pRedeemer of Israel and his Holy One,

to one deeply ^qdespised, abhorred by the nation,

the servant of rulers:

^r“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  For your Maker is your husband,

the Lord of hosts is his name;

and the Holy One of Israel is your Redeemer,

the God ^tof the whole earth he is called.

5  Behold, you shall call a nation that you do not know,

and a nation that did not know you shall run to you,

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

^dfor he has glorified you.

9  For ^ethe coastlands shall hope for me,

the ^fships of Tarshish first,

to 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 he has made you beautiful.

14  The sons of those who afflicted you

shall come bending low to you,

and all who despised you

shall ^kbow down at your feet;

they shall ^lcall you the ^mCity of the Lord,

the Zion of the Holy One of Israel.
