CHAPTER 46
Isaiah 46:1
1 Bel boweth down, Nebo stoopeth, their idols were upon the beasts, and upon
the cattle: your carriages were heavy loaden; they are a burden to the weary
beast.
Isaiah 46:2
2 They stoop, they bow down together; they could not deliver the burden, but
themselves are gone into captivity. Isaiah 46:3
3 Hearken unto me, O house of Jacob, and all the remnant of the house of
Israel, which are borne by me from the belly, which are carried from the womb:
Isaiah 46:4
4 And even to your old age I am he; and even to hoar hairs will I carry you: I
have made, and I will bear; even I will carry, and will deliver you. Isaiah
46:5
5 To whom will ye liken me, and make me equal, and compare me, that we may be
like?
Isaiah 46:6
6 They lavish gold out of the bag, and weigh silver in the balance, and hire a
goldsmith; and he maketh it a god: they fall down, yea, they worship. Isaiah
46:7
7 They bear him upon the shoulder, they carry him, and set him in his place,
and he standeth; from his place shall he not remove: yea, one shall cry unto
him, yet can he not answer, nor save him out of his trouble. Isaiah 46:8
8 Remember this, and shew yourselves men: bring it again to mind, O ye
transgressors.
Isaiah 46:9
9 Remember the former things of old: for I am God, and there is none else; I am
God, and there is none like me,
Isaiah 46:10
10 Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that
are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my
pleasure:
Isaiah 46:11
11 Calling a ravenous bird from the east, the man that executeth my counsel
from a far country: yea, I have spoken it, I will also bring it to pass; I have
purposed it, I will also do it. Isaiah 46:12
12 Hearken unto me, ye stouthearted, that are far from righteousness: Isaiah
46:13
13 I bring near my righteousness; it shall not be far off, and my salvation
shall not tarry: and I will place salvation in Zion for Israel my glory.
CHAPTER 47
Isaiah 47:1
1 Come down, and sit in the dust, O virgin daughter of Babylon, sit on the
ground: there is no throne, O daughter of the Chaldeans: for thou shalt no more
be called  tender  and delicate. Isaiah 47:2
2 Take the millstones, and grind meal: uncover thy locks, make bare the leg,
uncover the thigh, pass over the rivers. Isaiah 47:3
3 Thy nakedness shall be uncovered, yea, thy shame shall be seen: I will take
vengeance, and I will not meet thee as a man. Isaiah 47:4
4 As for our redeemer, the LORD of hosts is his name, the Holy One of Israel.
Isaiah 47:5
5 Sit thou silent, and get thee into darkness, O daughter of the Chaldeans: for
thou shalt no more be called, The lady of kingdoms. Isaiah 47:6
6 I was wroth with my people, I have polluted mine inheritance, and given them
into thine hand: thou didst shew them no mercy; upon the ancient hast thou very
heavily laid thy yoke.
Isaiah 47:7
7 And thou saidst, I shall be a lady for ever: so that thou didst not lay these
things to thy heart, neither didst remember the latter end of it. Isaiah 47:8
8 Therefore hear now this, thou that art given to pleasures, that dwellest
carelessly, that sayest in thine heart, I am, and none else beside me; I shall
not sit as a widow, neither shall I know the loss of children: Isaiah 47:9
9 But these two things shall come to thee in a moment in one day, the loss of
children, and widowhood: they shall come upon thee in their perfection for the
multitude of thy sorceries, and for the great abundance  of thine enchantments.
Isaiah 47:10
10 For thou hast trusted in thy wickedness: thou hast said, None seeth me. Thy
wisdom and thy knowledge, it hath perverted thee; and thou hast said in thine
heart, I am, and none else beside me. Isaiah 47:11
11 Therefore shall evil come upon thee; thou shalt not know from whence it
riseth: and mischief shall fall upon thee; thou shalt not be able to put it
off: and desolation shall come upon thee suddenly, which thou shalt not know.
Isaiah 47:12
12 Stand now with thine enchantments, and with the multitude of thy sorceries,
wherein thou hast laboured from thy youth; if so be thou shalt be able to
profit, if so be thou mayest prevail. Isaiah 47:13
13 Thou art wearied in the multitude of thy counsels. Let now the astrologers,
the stargazers, the monthly prognosticators, stand up, and save thee from these
things that shall come upon thee. Isaiah 47:14
14 Behold, they shall be as stubble; the fire shall burn them; they shall not
deliver themselves from the power of the flame: there shall not be a coal to
warm at, nor fire to sit before it. Isaiah 47:15
15 Thus shall they be unto thee with whom thou hast laboured, even thy
merchants, from thy youth: they shall wander every one to his quarter; none
shall save thee.
CHAPTER 48
Isaiah 48:1
1 Hear ye this, O house of Jacob, which are called by the name of Israel, and
are come forth out of the waters of Judah, which swear by the name of the LORD,
and make mention  of the God  of Israel,  but not in truth,  nor in
righteousness.
Isaiah 48:2
2 For they call themselves of the holy city, and stay themselves upon the God
of Israel; The LORD of hosts is his name. Isaiah 48:3
3 I have declared the former things from the beginning; and they went forth out
of my mouth, and I shewed them; I did them suddenly, and they came to pass.
Isaiah 48:4
4 Because I knew that thou art obstinate, and thy neck is an iron sinew, and
thy brow brass;
Isaiah 48:5
5 I have even from the beginning declared it to thee; before it came to pass I
shewed it thee: lest thou shouldest say, Mine idol hath done them, and my
graven image, and my molten image, hath commanded them. Isaiah 48:6
6 Thou hast heard, see all this; and will not ye declare it? I have shewed thee
new things from this time, even hidden things, and thou didst not know them.
Isaiah 48:7
7 They are created now, and not from the beginning; even before the day when
thou heardest them not; lest thou shouldest say, Behold, I knew them. Isaiah
48:8
8 Yea, thou heardest not; yea, thou knewest not; yea, from that time that thine
ear was not opened: for I knew that thou wouldest deal very treacherously, and
wast called a transgressor from the womb. Isaiah 48:9
9 For my name's sake will I defer mine anger, and for my praise will I refrain
for thee, that I cut thee not off. Isaiah 48:10
10 Behold, I have refined thee, but not with silver; I have chosen thee in the
furnace of affliction.
Isaiah 48:11
11 For mine own sake, even for mine own sake, will I do it: for how should my
name be polluted? and I will not give my glory unto another. Isaiah 48:12
12 Hearken unto me, O Jacob and Israel, my called; I am he; I am the first, I
also am the last.
Isaiah 48:13
13 Mine hand also hath laid the foundation of the earth, and my right hand hath
spanned the heavens: when I call unto them, they stand up together. Isaiah
48:14
14 All ye, assemble yourselves, and hear; which among them hath declared these
things? The LORD hath loved him: he will do his pleasure on Babylon, and his
arm shall be on the Chaldeans. Isaiah 48:15
15 I, even I, have spoken; yea, I have called him: I have brought him, and he
shall make his way prosperous.
Isaiah 48:16
16 Come ye near unto me, hear ye this; I have not spoken in secret from the
beginning; from the time that it was, there am I: and now the Lord GOD, and his
Spirit, hath sent me.
Isaiah 48:17
17 Thus saith the LORD, thy Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel; I am the LORD thy
God which teacheth thee to profit, which leadeth thee by the way that thou
shouldest go.
Isaiah 48:18
18 O that thou hadst hearkened to my commandments! then had thy peace been as a
river, and thy righteousness as the waves of the sea: Isaiah 48:19
19 Thy seed also had been as the sand, and the offspring of thy bowels like the
gravel thereof; his name should not have been cut off nor destroyed from before
me.
Isaiah 48:20
20 Go ye forth of Babylon, flee ye from the Chaldeans, with a voice of singing
declare ye, tell this, utter it even to the end of the earth; say ye, The LORD 
hath redeemed  his servant  Jacob. Isaiah 48:21
21 And they thirsted not when he led them through the deserts: he caused the
waters to flow out of the rock for them: he clave the rock also, and the waters
gushed out.
Isaiah 48:22
22 There is no peace, saith the LORD, unto the wicked.
