23:048:020 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.
23:048:021 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.
23:048:022 There is no peace, saith the lord, unto the wicked.
23:049:001 Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken,
ye people, from far;
The
lord hath called me from the womb; from the bowels
of my
mother
hath he made mention of my name.
23:049:002 And he hath made my mouth like a sharp
sword; in the shadow of
his
hand hath he hid me, and made me a polished shaft;
in his
quiver
hath he hid me;
23:049:003 And said unto me, Thou art my servant,
O Israel, in whom I
will
be glorified.
23:049:004 Then I said, I have laboured in vain, I
have spent my strength
for
nought, and in vain: yet surely my judgment is
with the
lord,
and my work with my God.
23:049:005 And now, saith the lord that formed
me from the womb to be his
servant,
to bring Jacob again to him, Though Israel be not
gathered,
yet shall I be glorious in the eyes of the lord,
and
my
God shall be my strength.
23:049:006 And he said, It is a light thing that thou
shouldest be my
servant
to raise up the tribes of Jacob, and to restore the
preserved
of Israel: I will also give thee for a light to
the
Gentiles,
that thou mayest be my salvation unto the end of the
earth.
23:049:007 Thus saith the lord, the Redeemer
of Israel, and his Holy One,
to
him whom man despiseth, to him whom the nation abhorreth,
to
a servant of rulers, Kings shall see and arise, princes
also
shall worship, because of the lord that is faithful,
and
the
Holy One of Israel, and he shall choose thee.
23:049:008 Thus saith the lord, In an acceptable
time have I heard thee,
and
in a day of salvation have I helped thee: and
I will
preserve
thee, and give thee for a covenant of the people, to
establish
the earth, to cause to inherit the desolate
heritages;
23:049:009 That thou mayest say to the prisoners,
Go forth; to them that
are
in darkness, Shew yourselves. They shall feed
in the ways,
and
their pastures shall be in all high places.
23:049:010 They shall not hunger nor thirst; neither
shall the heat nor
sun
smite them: for he that hath mercy on them shall
lead
them,
even by the springs of water shall he guide them.
