Isaiah Chapter 48
1
Hear you this, O house of Jacob,
2
For they call themselves of the holy city,
3
I have declared the former things from the beginning; I did them suddenly, and they came to pass.
4~~
Because I knew that you are stubborn {and arrogant}
5
I have even from the beginning declared it to you . . . 6 You have heard, see all this . . . and will not you declare it?
I
have showed you new things from this time,
7
They are created now, 8 Yes, you heard not. Yes, you knew not.
Yes,
from that time that your ear was not opened . . .
9
For My name's sake will I defer My anger, 10 Behold, I have refined you, but not with silver. I have chosen you in the furnace of affliction.
11
For My own sake, For how should My name be polluted? And I will not give My glory unto another.
12
'Hear, listen and obey' {shama`} unto me, I am He. I am the first {the Alpha}. I also am the last {the Omega}.
13
My hand also has laid the foundation of the earth, When I call unto them, they stand up together. 14 All you, assemble yourselves, and hear. Who among them has declared these things? Jehovah/God has loved him.
He
will do his pleasure on Babylon, 15 I, even I, have spoken. Yes, I have called him.
I
have brought him,
{Mystery
of the Trinity}
From
the time it took place,
And
now
17``
Thus said Jehovah/God {Jesus},
18
O that you have 'heard, listened and obeyed' {shama`}
Then
had your peace been as a river,
20
Go you forth of Babylon,
21
And they thirsted not
He
caused the waters
He
'kept on breaking open' the rock also,
22
There is no peace, said Jehovah/God,
