You who bring good tidings,
Get up into the high mountain;
O Jerusalem,
You who bring good tidings,
Lift up your voice with strength,
Lift it up, be not afraid;
Say to the cities of Judah, “Behold your God!”
And aHis arm shall rule for Him;
Behold, bHis reward is with Him,
And His1 work before Him.
He will gather the lambs with His arm,
And carry them in His bosom,
And gently lead those who are with young.
Measured heaven with a1 span
And calculated the dust of the earth in a measure?
Weighed the mountains in scales
And the hills in a balance?
And ataught Him in the path of justice?
Who taught Him knowledge,
And showed Him the way of understanding?
And are counted as the small dust on the scales;
Look, He lifts up the isles as a very little thing.
And bthey are counted by Him less than nothing and worthless.
The goldsmith overspreads it with gold,
And the silversmith casts silver chains.
| << Isaiah 40:10 | Isaiah 40:12 >> |
