Thussaysthe LORD,the Redeemerof Israel[and] its HolyOne,To the despisedOne, To the One abhorredby the nation,To the Servantof rulers,"Kingswill seeand arise,Princeswill also bowdown,Becauseof the LORDwhois faithful,the HolyOneof Israelwho has chosenYou."
Thenthey spatin His faceand beat Him with their fists;and othersslappedHim,
And comingto Him as to a livingstonewhich has been rejectedby men,but is choiceand preciousin the sightof God,
He was despisedand forsakenof men,A manof sorrowsand acquaintedwith grief;And like one from whom men hidetheir faceHe was despised,and we did not esteemHim.
justas the Sonof Mandid not cometo be served,but to serve,and to giveHis lifea ransomfor many."
Thussaysthe LORD,your Redeemer,the HolyOneof Israel,"I am the LORDyour God,who teachesyou to profit,Who leadsyou in the wayyou should go.
"Kingswill be your guardians,And their princessesyour nurses.They will bowdownto you with their facesto the earthAnd lickthe dustof your feet;And [you] will knowthat I am the LORD;Those whohopefullywaitfor Me will not be putto shame.
Listento Me, O islands,And payattention,you peoplesfrom afar.The LORDcalledMe from the womb;From the bodyof My motherHe namedMe.
Then I annihilatedthe threeshepherdsin onemonth,for my soulwas impatientwith them, and their soulalsowas wearyof me.
ThusHe will sprinklemanynations,Kingswill shuttheir mouthson accountof Him; For whathad not been toldthem they will see,And whatthey had not heardthey will understand.
"Behold,My Servant,whom I uphold;My chosenone [in whom] My souldelights.I have putMy Spiritupon Him; He will bringforthjusticeto the nations.
Sothey criedout, "Awaywith [Him], awaywith [Him], crucifyHim!" Pilatesaidto them, "Shall I crucifyyour King?"The chief priestsanswered,"We havenokingbut Caesar."
And the peoplestoodby, lookingon. And eventhe rulerswere sneeringat Him, saying,"He savedothers;let Him saveHimselfifthisis the Christof God,His Chosen One."
But they were insistent,with loudvoicesaskingthat He be crucified.And their voices[began] to prevail.
"Foreignerswill buildup your walls,And their kingswill ministerto you; For in My wrathI struckyou, And in My favorI have hadcompassionon you.
"Nationswill cometo your light,And kingsto the brightnessof your rising.
I gaveMy backto those who strike[Me], And My cheeksto those who pluckout the beard;I did not coverMy facefrom humiliationand spitting.
"They are creatednowand not longago;And beforetodayyou have not heardthem, So that you will not say,'Behold,I knewthem.'
Envoyswill comeout of Egypt;Ethiopiawill quicklystretchout her handsto God.
Thenthe seventhangelsounded;and there were loudvoicesin heaven,saying,"The kingdomof the worldhas become[the kingdom] of our Lordand of His Christ;and He will reignforeverand ever."
"And to the angelof the churchin Philadelphiawrite:He who is holy,who is true,who hasthe keyof David,who opensand noonewill shut,and who shutsand no oneopens,saysthis:
Sowhenthe chief priestsand the officerssawHim, they criedout saying,"Crucify,crucify!"Pilatesaidto them, "TakeHim yourselvesand crucifyHim, for I findnoguiltin Him."
Sothey criedout again,saying,"Not this Man,but Barabbas."NowBarabbaswas a robber.
But they criedout all together,saying,"Awaywith this man,and releasefor us Barabbas!"
"For whois greater,the one who reclines[at the table] orthe one who serves?Is it not the one who reclines[at the table]? But I amamongyou as the one who serves.
"You will also suckthe milkof nationsAnd suckthe breastof kings;Then you will knowthat I, the LORD,am your SaviorAnd your Redeemer,the MightyOneof Jacob.
You knowmy reproachand my shameand my dishonor;Allmy adversariesare beforeYou.
Godis faithful,throughwhomyou were calledinto fellowshipwith His Son,JesusChristour Lord.
May peoplesserveyou, And nationsbowdownto you; Be masterof your brothers,And may your mother'ssonsbowdownto you. Cursedbe those who curseyou, And blessedbe those who blessyou."
"Knowtherefore that the LORDyour God,He is God,the faithfulGod,who keepsHis covenantand His lovingkindnessto a thousandthgenerationwith those who loveHim and keepHis commandments;
The princesof the peoplehave assembledthemselves [as] the peopleof the Godof Abraham,For the shieldsof the earthbelong to God;He is highlyexalted.
Whenthe LORDwill havecompassionon Jacoband againchooseIsrael,and settlethem in their own land,then strangerswill jointhem and attachthemselves to the houseof Jacob.
Thus the LORDwill makeHimself knownto Egypt,and the Egyptianswill knowthe LORDin that day.They will even worshipwith sacrificeand offering,and will makea vowto the LORDand performit.
In that daythere will be a highwayfrom Egyptto Assyria,and the Assyrianswill comeinto Egyptand the Egyptiansinto Assyria,and the Egyptianswill worshipwith the Assyrians.
It will comeabout also in that daythat a greattrumpetwill be blown,and those who were perishingin the landof Assyriaand who were scatteredin the landof Egyptwill comeand worshipthe LORDin the holymountainat Jerusalem.
"I will feedyour oppressorswith their own flesh,And they will becomedrunkwith their own bloodas with sweetwine;And allfleshwill knowthat I, the LORD,am your SaviorAnd your Redeemer,the MightyOneof Jacob."
"And it shall be from newmoonto newmoonAnd from sabbathto sabbath,Allmankindwill cometo bowdownbeforeMe," saysthe LORD.
