YET now hear, O Jacob my servant; and Israel, whom I have chosen:</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1019282">2</a>. Thus saith the LORD that made thee, and formed thee from the womb, which will help thee; Fear not, O Jacob, my servant; and thou, Jesurun, whom I have chosen.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1019283">3</a>. For I will pour water upon him that is thirsty, and floods upon the dry ground: I will pour my spirit upon thy seed, and my blessing upon thine offspring:</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1019284">4</a>. And they shall spring up as among the grass, as willows by the water courses.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1019285">5</a>. One shall say, I am the LORD's; and another shall call himself by the name of Jacob; and another shall subscribe with his hand unto the LORD, and surname himself by the name of Israel.</li>

<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1019288">8</a>. Fear ye not, neither be afraid: have not I told thee from that time, and have declared it?  ye are even my witnesses.  Is there a God beside me?  yea, there is no God; I know not any.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1019289">9</a>. They that make a graven image are all of them vanity; and their delectable things shall not profit; and they are their own witnesses; they see not, nor know; that they may be ashamed.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1019290">10</a>. Who hath formed a god, or molten a graven image that is profitable for nothing?</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1019291">11</a>. Behold, all his fellows shall be ashamed: and the workmen, they are of men: let them all be gathered together, let them stand up; yet they shall fear, and they shall be ashamed together.</li>

<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1019296">16</a>. He burneth part thereof in the fire; with part thereof he eateth flesh; he roasteth roast, and is satisfied: yea, he warmeth himself, and saith, Aha, I am warm, I have seen the fire:</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1019297">17</a>. And the residue thereof he maketh a god, even his graven image: he falleth down unto it, and worshippeth it, and prayeth unto it, and saith, Deliver me; for thou art my god.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1019298">18</a>. They have not known nor understood: for he hath shut their eyes, that they cannot see; and their hearts, that they cannot understand.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1019299">19</a>. And none considereth in his heart, neither is there knowledge nor understanding to say, I have burned part of it in the fire; yea, also I have baked bread upon the coals thereof; I have roasted flesh, and eaten it: and shall I make the residue thereof an abomination?  shall I fall down to the stock of a tree?</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1019300">20</a>. He feedeth on ashes: a deceived heart hath turned him aside, that he cannot deliver his soul, nor say, Is there not a lie in my right hand?</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1019301">21</a>. Remember these, O Jacob and Israel; for thou art my servant: I have formed thee; thou art my servant: O Israel, thou shalt not be forgotten of me.</li>

<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1019304">24</a>. Thus saith the LORD, thy redeemer, and he that formed thee from the womb, I am the LORD that maketh all things; that stretcheth forth the heavens alone; that spreadeth abroad the earth by myself;</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1019305">25</a>. That frustrateth the tokens of the liars, and maketh diviners mad; that turneth wise men backward, and maketh their knowledge foolish;</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1019306">26</a>. That confirmeth the word of his servant, and performeth the counsel of his messengers; that saith to Jerusalem, Thou shalt be inhabited; and to the cities of Judah, Ye shall be built, and I will raise up the decayed places thereof:</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1019307">27</a>. That saith to the deep, Be dry, and I will dry up thy rivers:</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1019308">28</a>. That saith of Cyrus, He is my shepherd, and shall perform all my pleasure: even saying to Jerusalem, Thou shalt be built; and to the temple, Thy foundation shall be laid.</li>
