Create evil, etc... The evils of afflictions and punishments, but not
the evil of sin.
45:8. Drop down dew, ye heavens, from above, and let the clouds rain the
just: let the earth be opened, and bud forth a saviour: and let justice
spring up together: I the Lord have created him.
45:9. Woe to him that gainsayeth his maker, a sherd of the earthen pots:
shall the clay say to him that fashioneth it: What art thou making, and
thy work is without hands?
45:10. Woe to him that saith to his father: Why begettest thou? and to
the woman: Why dost thou bring forth?
45:11. Thus saith the Lord the Holy One of Israel, his maker: Ask me of
things to come, concerning my children, and concerning the work of my
hands give ye charge to me.
45:12. I made the earth: and I created man upon it: my hand stretched
forth the heavens, and I have commanded all their host.
45:13. I have raised him up to justice, and I will direct all his ways:
he shall build my city, and let go my captives, not for ransom, nor for
presents, saith the Lord the God of hosts.
45:14. Thus saith the Lord: The labour of Egypt, and the merchandise of
Ethiopia, and of Sabaim, men of stature shall come over to thee, and
shall be thine: they shall walk after thee, they shall go bound with
manacles: and they shall worship thee, and shall make supplication to
thee: only in thee is God, and there is no God besides thee.
45:15. Verily thou art a hidden God, the God of Israel the saviour.
45:16. They are all confounded and ashamed: the forgers of errors are
gone together into confusion.
45:17. Israel is saved in the Lord with an eternal salvation: you shall
not be confounded, and you shall not be ashamed for ever and ever.
45:18. For thus saith the Lord that created the heavens, God himself
that formed the earth, and made it, the very maker thereof: he did not
create it in vain: he formed it to be inhabited. I am the Lord, and
there is no other.
45:19. I have not spoken in secret, in a dark place of the earth: I have
not said to the seed of Jacob: Seek me in vain. I am the Lord that speak
justice, that declare right things.
45:20. Assemble yourselves, and come, and draw near together, ye that
are saved of the Gentiles: they have no knowledge that set up the wood
of their graven work, and pray to a god that cannot save.
45:21. Tell ye, and come, and consult together: who hath declared this
from the beginning, who hath foretold this from that time? Have not I
the Lord, and there is no God else besides me? A just God and a saviour,
there is none besides me.
45:22. Be converted to me, and you shall be saved, all ye ends of the
earth: for I am God, and there is no other.
45:23. I have sworn by myself, the word of justice shall go out of my
mouth, and shall not return:
45:24. For every knee shall be bowed to me, and every tongue shall
swear.
45:25. Therefore shall he say: In the Lord are my justices and empire:
they shall come to him, and all that resist him shall be confounded.
45:26. In the Lord shall all the seed of Israel be justified and
praised.
Isaias Chapter 46
The idols of Babylon shall be destroyed. Salvation is promised through
Christ.
46:1. Bel is broken, Nebo is destroyed: their idols are put upon beasts
and cattle, your burdens of heavy weight even unto weariness.
