Behold, I have refined thee, but not with silver; I have chosen thee in the furnace of affliction (48:10) 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 (48:11) Hearken unto me, O Jacob and Israel, my called; I [am] he; I [am] the first, I also [am] the last. (48:12) com1 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 (48:13) 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 (48:14) I, [even] I, have spoken; yea, I have called him: I have brought him, and he shall make his way prosperous (48:15) 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 (48:16) 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 (48:17) 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: (48:18) 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 (48:19) 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 (48:20) 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 (48:21) [There is] no peace, saith the Lord, unto the wicked
(48:22)
