| מ:כה וְאֶל-מִי תְדַמְּיוּנִי, וְאֶשְׁוֶה--יֹאמַר, קָדוֹשׁ. | 40:25 To whom then will ye liken Me, that I should be equal? saith the Holy One. |
| כו שְׂאוּ-מָרוֹם עֵינֵיכֶם וּרְאוּ מִי-בָרָא אֵלֶּה, הַמּוֹצִיא בְמִסְפָּר צְבָאָם; לְכֻלָּם, בְּשֵׁם יִקְרָא, מֵרֹב אוֹנִים וְאַמִּיץ כֹּחַ, אִישׁ לֹא נֶעְדָּר. | 26 Lift up your eyes on high, and see: who hath created these? He that bringeth out their host by number, He calleth them all by name; by the greatness of His might, and for that He is strong in power, not one faileth. |
| כז לָמָּה תֹאמַר יַעֲקֹב, וּתְדַבֵּר יִשְׂרָאֵל: נִסְתְּרָה דַרְכִּי מֵיקוק, וּמֵא-לקי מִשְׁפָּטִי יַעֲבוֹר. | 27 Why sayest thou, O Jacob, and speakest, O Israel: 'My way is hid from the LORD, and my right is passed over from my God'? |
| כח הֲלוֹא יָדַעְתָּ אִם-לֹא שָׁמַעְתָּ, א-לקי עוֹלָם יקוק בּוֹרֵא קְצוֹת הָאָרֶץ--לֹא יִיעַף, וְלֹא יִיגָע: אֵין חֵקֶר, לִתְבוּנָתוֹ. | 28 Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard that the everlasting God, the LORD, the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not, neither is weary? His discernment is past searching out. |
| כט נֹתֵן לַיָּעֵף, כֹּחַ; וּלְאֵין אוֹנִים, עָצְמָה יַרְבֶּה. | 29 He giveth power to the faint; and to him that hath no might He increaseth strength. |
| ל וְיִעֲפוּ נְעָרִים, וְיִגָעוּ; וּבַחוּרִים, כָּשׁוֹל יִכָּשֵׁלוּ. | 30 Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall; |
| לא וְקוֹיֵ יקוק יַחֲלִיפוּ כֹחַ, יַעֲלוּ אֵבֶר כַּנְּשָׁרִים; יָרוּצוּ וְלֹא יִיגָעוּ, יֵלְכוּ וְלֹא יִיעָפוּ. | 31 But they that wait for the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; they shall walk, and not faint. |
| מא:א הַחֲרִישׁוּ אֵלַי אִיִּים, וּלְאֻמִּים יַחֲלִיפוּ כֹחַ; יִגְּשׁוּ אָז יְדַבֵּרוּ, יַחְדָּו לַמִּשְׁפָּט נִקְרָבָה. | 41:1 Keep silence before Me, O islands, and let the peoples renew their strength; let them draw near, then let them speak; let us come near together to judgment. |
| ב מִי הֵעִיר מִמִּזְרָח, צֶדֶק יִקְרָאֵהוּ לְרַגְלוֹ; יִתֵּן לְפָנָיו גּוֹיִם, וּמְלָכִים יַרְדְּ--יִתֵּן כֶּעָפָר חַרְבּוֹ, כְּקַשׁ נִדָּף קַשְׁתּוֹ. | 2 Who hath raised up one from the east, at whose steps victory attendeth? He giveth nations before him, and maketh him rule over kings; his sword maketh them as the dust, his bow as the driven stubble. |
| ג יִרְדְּפֵם, יַעֲבוֹר שָׁלוֹם; אֹרַח בְּרַגְלָיו, לֹא יָבוֹא. | 3 He pursueth them, and passeth on safely; the way with his feet he treadeth not. |
| ד מִי-פָעַל וְעָשָׂה, קֹרֵא הַדֹּרוֹת מֵרֹאשׁ: אֲנִי יקוק רִאשׁוֹן, וְאֶת-אַחֲרֹנִים אֲנִי-הוּא. | 4 Who hath wrought and done it? He that called the generations from the beginning. I, the LORD, who am the first, and with the last am the same. |
| ה רָאוּ אִיִּים וְיִרָאוּ, קְצוֹת הָאָרֶץ יֶחֱרָדוּ; קָרְבוּ, וַיֶּאֱתָיוּן. | 5 The isles saw, and feared; the ends of the earth trembled; they drew near, and came. |
| ו אִישׁ אֶת-רֵעֵהוּ, יַעְזֹרוּ; וּלְאָחִיו, יֹאמַר חֲזָק. | 6 They helped every one his neighbour; and every one said to his brother: 'Be of good courage.' |
| ז וַיְחַזֵּק חָרָשׁ אֶת-צֹרֵף, מַחֲלִיק פַּטִּישׁ אֶת-הוֹלֶם פָּעַם; אֹמֵר לַדֶּבֶק טוֹב הוּא, וַיְחַזְּקֵהוּ בְמַסְמְרִים לֹא יִמּוֹט. | 7 So the carpenter encouraged the goldsmith, and he that smootheth with the hammer him that smiteth the anvil, saying of the soldering: 'It is good'; and he fastened it with nails, that it should not be moved. |
| ח וְאַתָּה יִשְׂרָאֵל עַבְדִּי, יַעֲקֹב אֲשֶׁר בְּחַרְתִּיךָ; זֶרַע, אַבְרָהָם אֹהֲבִי. | 8 But thou, Israel, My servant, Jacob whom I have chosen, the seed of Abraham My friend; |
| ט אֲשֶׁר הֶחֱזַקְתִּיךָ מִקְצוֹת הָאָרֶץ, וּמֵאֲצִילֶיהָ קְרָאתִיךָ; וָאֹמַר לְךָ עַבְדִּי-אַתָּה, בְּחַרְתִּיךָ וְלֹא מְאַסְתִּיךָ. | 9 Thou whom I have taken hold of from the ends of the earth, and called thee from the uttermost parts thereof, and said unto thee: 'Thou art My servant, I have chosen thee and not cast thee away'; |
| י אַל-תִּירָא כִּי עִמְּךָ-אָנִי, אַל-תִּשְׁתָּע כִּי-אֲנִי א-לקיךָ; אִמַּצְתִּיךָ, אַף-עֲזַרְתִּיךָ--אַף-תְּמַכְתִּיךָ, בִּימִין צִדְקִי. | 10 Fear thou not, for I am with thee, be not dismayed, for I am thy God; I strengthen thee, yea, I help thee; yea, I uphold thee with My victorious right hand. |
| יא הֵן יֵבֹשׁוּ וְיִכָּלְמוּ, כֹּל הַנֶּחֱרִים בָּךְ; יִהְיוּ כְאַיִן וְיֹאבְדוּ, אַנְשֵׁי רִיבֶךָ. | 11 Behold, all they that were incensed against thee shall be ashamed and confounded; they that strove with thee shall be as nothing, and shall perish. |
| יב תְּבַקְשֵׁם וְלֹא תִמְצָאֵם, אַנְשֵׁי מַצֻּתֶךָ; יִהְיוּ כְאַיִן וּכְאֶפֶס, אַנְשֵׁי מִלְחַמְתֶּךָ. | 12 Thou shalt seek them, and shalt not find them, even them that contended with thee; they that warred against thee shall be as nothing, and as a thing of nought. |
| יג כִּי, אֲנִי יקוק א-לקיךָ--מַחֲזִיק יְמִינֶךָ; הָאֹמֵר לְךָ אַל-תִּירָא, אֲנִי עֲזַרְתִּיךָ. | 13 For I the LORD thy God hold thy right hand, who say unto thee: 'Fear not, I help thee.' |
| יד אַל-תִּירְאִי תּוֹלַעַת יַעֲקֹב, מְתֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל; אֲנִי עֲזַרְתִּיךְ נְאֻם-יקוק, וְגֹאֲלֵךְ קְדוֹשׁ יִשְׂרָאֵל. | 14 Fear not, thou worm Jacob, and ye men of Israel; I help thee, saith the LORD, and thy Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel. |
| טו הִנֵּה שַׂמְתִּיךְ, לְמוֹרַג חָרוּץ חָדָשׁ--בַּעַל, פִּיפִיּוֹת; תָּדוּשׁ הָרִים וְתָדֹק, וּגְבָעוֹת כַּמֹּץ תָּשִׂים. | 15 Behold, I make thee a new threshing-sledge having sharp teeth; thou shalt thresh the mountains, and beat them small, and shalt make the hills as chaff. |
| טז תִּזְרֵם וְרוּחַ תִּשָּׂאֵם, וּסְעָרָה תָּפִיץ אוֹתָם; וְאַתָּה תָּגִיל בַּיקוק, בִּקְדוֹשׁ יִשְׂרָאֵל תִּתְהַלָּל. | 16 Thou shalt fan them, and the wind shall carry them away, and the whirlwind shall scatter them; and thou shalt rejoice in the LORD, thou shalt glory in the Holy One of Israel. |
| יז הָעֲנִיִּים וְהָאֶבְיוֹנִים מְבַקְשִׁים מַיִם, וָאַיִן--לְשׁוֹנָם, בַּצָּמָא נָשָׁתָּה; אֲנִי יקוק אֶעֱנֵם, א-לקי יִשְׂרָאֵל לֹא אֶעֶזְבֵם. | 17 The poor and needy seek water and there is none, and their tongue faileth for thirst; I the LORD will answer them, I the God of Israel will not forsake them. |
