Chapter 48

1Listen to this, O House of Yaakov, Who bear the name Yisrael And have issued from the waters of Yehuda, Who swear by the name of Hashem And invoke the God of Yisrael— Though not in truth and sincerity—

shi-MU-zot beit-YA-a-KOV ha-nik-ra-EEM b'-SHEM yis-ra-AYL u-mi-MAY y'-hu-DA ya-TZA-u ha-nish-ba-EEM b'-SHEM a-do-NAI u-ve-lo-HEI yis-ra-AYL yaz-ki-ru lo be-e-MET v'-lo bi-tz-da-KAH

אשִׁמְעוּ־זֹ֣את בֵּֽית־יַעֲקֹ֗ב הַנִּקְרָאִים֙ בְּשֵׁ֣ם יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל וּמִמֵּ֥י יְהוּדָ֖ה יָצָ֑אוּ הַֽנִּשְׁבָּעִ֣ים ׀ בְּשֵׁ֣ם יְהֹוָ֗ה וּבֵאלֹהֵ֤י יִשְׂרָאֵל֙ יַזְכִּ֔ירוּ לֹ֥א בֶאֱמֶ֖ת וְלֹ֥א בִצְדָקָֽה׃

2For you are called after the Holy City And you do lean on the God of Yisrael, Whose name is LORD of Hosts:

ki-me-IR ha-ko-DAYSH nik-RA-u v'-al e-lo-HAY yis-ra-AYL nis-ma-KHU a-do-NAI t'-va-OT sh'-MO. (S)

3Long ago, I foretold things that happened, From My mouth they issued, and I announced them; Suddenly I acted, and they came to pass.

4Because I know how stubborn you are (Your neck is like an iron sinew And your forehead bronze),

5Therefore I told you long beforehand, Announced things to you ere they happened— That you might not say, “My idol caused them, My carved and molten images ordained them.”

6You have heard all this; look, must you not acknowledge it? As of now, I announce to you new things, Well-guarded secrets you did not know.

7Only now are they created, and not of old; Before today you had not heard them; You cannot say, “I knew them already.”

8You had never heard, you had never known, Your ears were not opened of old. Though I know that you are treacherous, That you were called a rebel from birth,

12Listen to Me, O Yaakov, Yisrael, whom I have called: I am He—I am the first, And I am the last as well.

14Assemble, all of you, and listen! Who among you foretold these things: “He whom Hashem loves Shall work His will against Babylon, And, with His might, against Chaldea”?

16Draw near to Me and hear this: From the beginning, I did not speak in secret; From the time anything existed, I was there. “And now Hashem has sent me, endowed with His spirit.”

17Thus said Hashem your Redeemer, The Holy One of Yisrael: I Hashem am your God, Instructing you for your own benefit. Guiding you in the way you should go.

20Go forth from Babylon, Flee from Chaldea! Declare this with loud shouting, Announce this, Bring out the word to the ends of the earth! Say: “Hashem has redeemed His servant Yaakov!”

21They have known no thirst, Though He led them through parched places; He made water flow for them from the rock; He cleaved the rock and water gushed forth.
