NASB Bible (with Strong's Numbers)

Isaiah 49

Salvation Reaches to the End of the Earth

1

Listenh8085 to Me, O  aislandsh339, And payh7181 attentionh7181, you peoplesh3816 from afarh7350.  bThe LORDh3068 calledh7121 Me from the wombh990; From the  1bodyh4578 of My motherh517 He namedh2142h8034 Me.

2

He has madeh7760 My  amouthh6310 like a sharph2299 swordh2719, In the  bshadowh6738 of His handh3027 He has concealedh2244 Me; And He has also madeh7760 Me a  1selecth1305  carrowh2671, He has hiddenh5641 Me in His quiverh827.

3

He saidh559 to Me, " aYou are My Servanth5650, Israelh3478,  bIn Whomh834 I will  1showh6286 My gloryh6286."

4

But I saidh559, "I have  atoiledh3021 in vainh7385b, I have spenth3615 My strengthh3581b for nothingh8414 and vanityh1892; Yet surelyh403 the justiceh4941 due to Me is with the LORDh3068, And My  brewardh6468 with My Godh430."

5

And nowh6258 saysh559  athe LORDh3068, who formedh3335 Me from the wombh990 to be His Servanth5650, To bringh7725 Jacobh3290 backh7725 to Him, so that  bIsraelh3478 might be gatheredh622 to Him (For I am  chonoredh3513 in the sighth5869 of the LORDh3068, And My Godh430 is My  dstrengthh5797),

6

He saysh559, "It is tooh4480  1smallh7043 a thingh7043 that You should be My Servanth5650 To raiseh6965 up the tribesh7626 of Jacobh3290 and to restoreh7725 the  apreservedh5336 ones of Israelh3478; I will also makeh5414 You a  blighth216  2of the nationsh1471 So that My salvationh3444 may  3reachh1961 to the  cendh7097a of the earthh776."

7

Thush3541 saysh559 the LORDh3068, the  aRedeemerh1350 of Israelh3478 and its Holyh6918 Oneh6918, To the  bdespisedh960 One, To the One abhorredh8581 by the nationh1471, To the Servanth5650 of rulersh4910, " cKingsh4428 will seeh7200 and ariseh6965, Princesh8269 will also  dbowh7812 downh7812, Becauseh4616 of the LORDh3068 whoh834 is faithfulh539, the Holyh6918 Oneh6918 of Israelh3478 who has chosenh977 You."

8

Thush3541 saysh559 the LORDh3068, "In a  afavorableh7522 timeh6256 I have answeredh6030a You, And in a dayh3117 of salvationh3444 I have helpedh5826 You; And I will  bkeeph5341 You and  cgiveh5414 You for a covenanth1285 of the peopleh5971a, To  1 drestoreh6965 the landh776, to make them inherith5157 the desolateh8074 heritagesh5159;

9

Sayingh559 to those who are  aboundh631, `Goh3318 forthh3318,' To those whoh834 are in darknessh2822, `Showh1540 yourselves.' Alongh5921 the roadsh1870 they will feedh7462a, And their pastureh4830 will be on allh3605  bbareh8205 heightsh8205.

10

"They will  anot hungerh7456 or thirsth6770, Norh3808 will the scorchingh8273  bheath8273 or sunh8121 strikeh5221 them downh5221; For  cHe who hash7355 compassionh7355 on them will  dleadh5090a them And will guideh5095 them to  espringsh4002 of waterh4325.

11

"I will makeh7760 allh3605  aMy mountainsh2022 a roadh1870, And My  bhighwaysh4546 will be raisedh7311 up.

12

"Beholdh2009, theseh428 will comeh935  afrom afarh7350; And loh2009, theseh428 will come from the  bnorthh6828 and from the westh3220, And theseh428 from the landh776 of Sinimh5515."

13

 aShouth7442 for joyh7442, O heavensh8064! And rejoiceh1523, O earthh776! Breakh6476 forthh6476 into joyfulh7440 shoutingh7440, O mountainsh2022! For the  bLORDh3068 has comfortedh5162 His peopleh5971a And will  chaveh7355 compassionh7355 on His afflictedh6041.

Promise to Zion

14

But Zionh6726 saidh559, "The LORDh3068 has forsakenh5800a me, And the Lordh136 has forgottenh7911 me."

15

"Can a womanh802 forgeth7911 her nursingh5764 childh5764 And haveh7355 noh4480 compassionh7355 on the sonh1121 of her wombh990? Evenh1571 theseh428 may forgeth7911, but  aI will not forgeth7911 you.

16

"Beholdh2005, I have  ainscribedh2710 you on the palmsh3709 of My hands; Your  bwallsh2346 are continuallyh8548 beforeh5048 Me.

17

"Your  1buildersh1121 hurryh4116; Your  adestroyersh2040 and devastatorsh2717b Will departh3318 from you.

18

aLifth5375 up your eyesh5869 and lookh7200 aroundh5439;  bAllh3605 of them gatherh6908 together,  cthey comeh935 to you.  dAs I liveh2416a," declaresh5002 the LORDh3068, "You will surelyh3588  eputh3847 on allh3605 of them as  1jewelsh5716 and bindh7194 them on as a brideh3618.

19

"For  ayour wasteh2723 and desolateh8074 places and your destroyedh2035 landh776-- Surelyh3588 nowh6258 you will be  btooh4480 crampedh6887a for the inhabitantsh3427, And those who  cswallowedh1104 you will be farh7368 away.

20

"The  achildrenh1121 of  1whom you were bereavedh7923 will yeth5750 sayh559 in your earsh241, `The placeh4725 is too crampedh6862a for me; Makeh5066 roomh5066 for me that I may liveh3427 here.'

21

"Then you will  asayh559 in your hearth3824, `Whoh4310 has begottenh3205 theseh428 for me, Since I have beenh7921 bereavedh7909a of my childrenh7909a And am  bbarrenh1565, an  cexileh1540 and a wandererh5493? And whoh4310 has rearedh1431 theseh428? Beholdh2005, I was  dlefth7604 aloneh905;  1 eFrom whereh375 did theseh428 come?' "

22

Thush3541 saysh559 the Lordh136  1GODh3068, "Beholdh2009, I will lifth5375 up My handh3027 to the nationsh1471 And seth7311 up My  astandardh5251 to the peoplesh5971a; And they will  bbringh935 your sonsh1121 in their bosomh2684, And your daughtersh1323 will be carriedh5375 on their shouldersh3802.

23

aKingsh4428 will be your guardiansh539, And their princessesh8282 your nursesh3243. They will  bbowh7812 downh7812 to you with their facesh639 to the earthh776 And  clickh3897 the dusth6083 of your feeth7272; And you will  dknowh3045 that I am the LORDh3068; Those whoh834 hopefullyh6960a  ewaith6960a for Me will  fnot be puth954 to shameh954.

24

aCan the preyh4455a be takenh3947 from the mightyh1368 manh1368, Orh518 the captivesh7628b of  1a tyrant be rescuedh4422?"

25

Surelyh3588, thush3541 saysh559 the LORDh3068, "Evenh1571 the  acaptivesh7628b of the mightyh1368 manh1368 will be takenh3947 away, And the preyh4455a of the tyranth6184 will be rescuedh4422; For I will contendh7378 with the oneh3401 whoh3401 contendsh3401 with you, And I will  bsaveh3467 your sonsh1121.

26

"I will feedh398 your  aoppressorsh3238 with their  bown fleshh1320, And they will becomeh7937 drunkh7937 with their own bloodh1818 as with sweeth6071 wineh6071; And  callh3605 fleshh1320 will knowh3045 that I, the LORDh3068, am your  dSaviorh3467 And your  eRedeemerh1350, the Mightyh46 Oneh46 of Jacobh3290."
