RF ISA 44:1 ODE 16.
Blessings Promised to Israel.
"Now listen, Jacob, My Friend,
And Israel in whom I delight,"
RF ISA 44:2 Thus says your Maker, the LIFE,
And your Helper, Who formed from the womb;
RF ISA 44:3 "Have no fear, Jacob, My friend,
And the Righteous, in whom I delight;—
For the thirsty, I waters pour out,
And make on dry ground flowing rills,
I breathe out My wind on your seed,
And My blessing is over your crops;
RF ISA 44:4 The herbage springs up in your sight,
Like willows beside flowing streams.
RF ISA 44:5 This, will say:—'I belong to the LORD;'
That, 'by Jacob's name I will be called;'
The next to the LIFE give his hand,
And be labeled with Israel's name."
RF ISA 44:6 ODE 17.
A Declaration of God's Foreknowledge.
Thus Israel's King, the LORD proclaims,
And his Redeemer, LORD OF HOSTS;
"I am the First and the last,
Except myself there is no GOD.
RF ISA 44:7 And who but I proclaimed and told
And fixed events from former times,
Foretelling future things?
RF ISA 44:8 Shake not, fear not, for is not this
What I informed and told?
You are My proof no GOD exists but ME,—
I know no other Rock!"
RF ISA 44:9 All Idol-makers rave;
Their statues cannot help,
And show it to themselves!
RF ISA 44:10 They neither see nor know;
Their Artist they degrade;
Those helpless metal gods!
RF ISA 44:11 See! all their friends they shame!
Their artists blush themselves;
They shame their fixers up;
All meet disgrace together!
RF ISA 44:12 A Smith the iron cuts,
And works it in the coals
And with his hammer forms.
He works with his strong arms;
He hungers and is weak;
Is faint, and thirsts for drink;
RF ISA 44:13 The Joiner chooses wood;
He draws a line in red;
He cuts it with his tool;
With compass marks it out,
A graceful human form,
A man to guard his house!
RF ISA 44:14 He Cedars fells for use;
He takes the pine and oak,
Selects the forest trees.
RF ISA 44:15 The fir plant grows by rain,
And is for man to burn,
He takes it and he warms;
He cooks and bakes his bread:—
For worship makes a god!
Adores the form he made!
RF ISA 44:16 Burns part of it in fire,
With part he cooks his meat,
And cuts a slice and eats!
He warms, and says "Ah-ah!
RF ISA 44:17 I'm warm,—I feel the fire!"
The refuse forms his God!
That Image he adores!
Bows down and prays his God,
And says, "Deliver me!
For you to me are God!"
RF ISA 44:18 They know not, nor reflect;
They stop their eyes from sight;
They keep their hearts from sense
RF ISA 44:19 They lay it not to heart;
Know not nor think to say;
"I burnt a part with fire,
Baked on its coals my bread;
I roasted flesh and ate;
And made the rest a God!
A fool, I worship Wood!"
RF ISA 44:20 The fool devours dirt,
Deception veils his sense,
His mind cannot escape, or say,
"My right hand holds a lie!
RF ISA 44:21 Jacob remember these,
And Israel, as My friend;
I formed you for My friendship.
Forget not, Israel, ME.
RF ISA 44:22 I drove your faults like clouds,
Like fog dispersed your sins,
Return to Me redeemed.
RF ISA 44:23 Shout, Heavens, "The LORD has worked!"
Be shaken earth below;
Hills burst, and roar, you Woods,
With every tree in them.
The LORD sets Jacob free,
And Israel HE adorns!
RF ISA 44:24 Thus says the LORD "I freed you;
And formed you from the womb;
For I, the LIFE, made all,
Alone, I stretched the skies,
Myself spread out the land.
RF ISA 44:25 Alone producing Wonders,
I prophets move in dance,
Philosophers defeat,
And show their knowledge vain.
RF ISA 44:26 But confirm. My Servant's word
Will complete My Agents' news
That Jerusalem shall last,
And Judah's towns be built,
And her ruins rise again.
RF ISA 44:27 Who tells the Deep, 'be dry;
And let your Rivers waste;
RF ISA 44:28 Who calls His Shepherd, Cyrus,
Who will effect My plans;
Who Jerusalem will rebuild,
And found a Temple there,"
