Jacob continues reading from Isaiah: In the last days, the Lord will comfort Zion and gather Israel—The redeemed will come to Zion amid great joy—Compare Isaiah 51 and 52:1–2. About 559–545 B.C.
a
Hearken
unto
me,
ye
that
follow
after
righteousness.
Look
unto
the
b
rock
from
whence
ye
are
hewn,
and
to
the
hole
of
the
pit
from
whence
ye
are
digged.
2 Look
unto
Abraham,
your
a
father,
and
unto
b
Sarah,
she
that
bare
you;
for
I
called
him
alone,
and
blessed
him.
3 For
the
Lord
shall
a
comfort
b
Zion,
he
will
comfort
all
her
waste
places;
and
he
will
make
her
c
wilderness
like
d
Eden,
and
her
desert
like
the
garden
of
the
Lord.
Joy
and
gladness
shall
be
found
therein,
thanksgiving
and
the
voice
of
melody.
4 Hearken
unto
me,
my
people;
and
give
ear
unto
me,
O
my
nation;
for
a
a
law
shall
proceed
from
me,
and
I
will
make
my
judgment
to
rest
for
a
b
light
for
the
people.
5 My
righteousness
is
near;
my
a
salvation
is
gone
forth,
and
mine
arm
shall
b
judge
the
people.
The
c
isles
shall
wait
upon
me,
and
on
mine
arm
shall
they
trust.
6 Lift
up
your
eyes
to
the
a
heavens,
and
look
upon
the
earth
beneath;
for
the
heavens
shall
b
vanish
away
like
smoke,
and
the
earth
shall
c
wax
old
like
a
garment;
and
they
that
dwell
therein
shall
die
in
like
manner.
But
my
salvation
shall
be
forever,
and
my
righteousness
shall
not
be
abolished.
7 Hearken
unto
me,
ye
that
know
righteousness,
the
people
in
whose
heart
I
have
written
my
law,
a
fear
ye
not
the
b
reproach
of
men,
neither
be
ye
afraid
of
their
c
revilings.
8 For
the
a
moth
shall
eat
them
up
like
a
garment,
and
the
worm
shall
eat
them
like
wool.
But
my
righteousness
shall
be
forever,
and
my
salvation
from
generation
to
generation.

a
Awake,
awake!
Put
on
b
strength,
O
arm
of
the
Lord;
awake
as
in
the
ancient
days.
Art
thou
not
he
that
hath
cut
c
Rahab,
and
wounded
the
d
dragon?
10 Art
thou
not
he
who
hath
dried
the
sea,
the
waters
of
the
great
deep;
that
hath
made
the
depths
of
the
sea
a
a
way
for
the
ransomed
to
pass
over?
11 Therefore,
the
a
redeemed
of
the
Lord
shall
b
return,
and
come
with
c
singing
unto
Zion;
and
everlasting
joy
and
holiness
shall
be
upon
their
heads;
and
they
shall
obtain
gladness
and
joy;
sorrow
and
d
mourning
shall
flee
away.
12
a
I
am
he;
yea,
I
am
he
that
comforteth
you.
Behold,
who
art
thou,
that
thou
shouldst
be
b
afraid
of
man,
who
shall
die,
and
of
the
son
of
man,
who
shall
be
made
like
unto
c
grass?
13 And
a
forgettest
the
Lord
thy
maker,
that
hath
b
stretched
forth
the
heavens,
and
laid
the
foundations
of
the
earth,
and
hast
feared
continually
every
day,
because
of
the
fury
of
the
c
oppressor,
as
if
he
were
ready
to
destroy?
And
where
is
the
fury
of
the
oppressor?
14 The
a
captive
exile
hasteneth,
that
he
may
be
loosed,
and
that
he
should
not
die
in
the
pit,
nor
that
his
bread
should
fail.
15 But
I
am
the
Lord
thy
God,
whose
a
waves
roared;
the
Lord
of
Hosts
is
my
name.
16 And
I
have
a
put
my
words
in
thy
mouth,
and
have
covered
thee
in
the
shadow
of
mine
hand,
that
I
may
plant
the
heavens
and
lay
the
foundations
of
the
earth,
and
say
unto
Zion:
Behold,
thou
art
my
b
people.
17 Awake,
awake,
stand
up,
O
Jerusalem,
which
hast
drunk
at
the
hand
of
the
Lord
the
a
cup
of
his
b
fury—thou
hast
drunken
the
dregs
of
the
cup
of
trembling
wrung
out—
18 And
none
to
guide
her
among
all
the
sons
she
hath
brought
forth;
neither
that
taketh
her
by
the
hand,
of
all
the
sons
she
hath
brought
up.
19 These
two
a
sons
are
come
unto
thee,
who
shall
be
sorry
for
thee—thy
desolation
and
destruction,
and
the
famine
and
the
sword—and
by
whom
shall
I
comfort
thee?
20 Thy
sons
have
fainted,
save
these
two;
they
lie
at
the
head
of
all
the
streets;
as
a
wild
bull
in
a
net,
they
are
full
of
the
fury
of
the
Lord,
the
rebuke
of
thy
God.
21 Therefore
hear
now
this,
thou
afflicted,
and
a
drunken,
and
not
with
wine:
22 Thus
saith
thy
Lord,
the
Lord
and
thy
God
a
pleadeth
the
cause
of
his
people;
behold,
I
have
taken
out
of
thine
hand
the
cup
of
trembling,
the
dregs
of
the
cup
of
my
fury;
thou
shalt
no
more
drink
it
again.
23 But
a
I
will
put
it
into
the
hand
of
them
that
afflict
thee;
who
have
said
to
thy
soul:
Bow
down,
that
we
may
go
over—and
thou
hast
laid
thy
body
as
the
ground
and
as
the
street
to
them
that
went
over.
24
a
Awake,
awake,
put
on
thy
b
strength,
O
c
Zion;
put
on
thy
beautiful
garments,
O
Jerusalem,
the
holy
city;
for
henceforth
there
shall
d
no
more
come
into
thee
the
uncircumcised
and
the
unclean.
25 Shake
thyself
from
the
dust;
arise,
sit
down,
O
Jerusalem;
loose
thyself
from
the
a
bands
of
thy
neck,
O
captive
daughter
of
Zion.
