Yisrael reminded of Hashem's promises

48:1 Shema ye this, O Bayit Yaakov, which are called by B'shem Yisrael, and are come forth out of the waters of Yehudah, which swear by B'Shem YHWH (יהוה), and make mention of Elohei Yisrael, [but] not in truth, nor in tzedakah.

48:2 For they call themselves of the Set Apart city, and stay themselves upon Elohei Yisrael; YHWH (יהוה) Tzva'ot [is] His Name.

48:3 I have declared the former things from the beginning; and they went forth out of My mouth, and I shewed them; I did [them] suddenly, and they came to pass.

48:4 Because I knew that thou [art] obstinate, and thy neck [is] an iron sinew, and thy brow brass;

48:5 I have even from the beginning declared [it] to thee; before it came to pass I shewed [it] thee: lest thou shouldest say, Mine idol hath done them, and My graven image, and My molten image, hath commanded them.

48:6 Thou hast heard, see all this; and will not ye declare [it]? I have shewed thee new things from this time, even hidden things, and thou didst not know them.

48:7 They are created now, and not from the beginning; even before the day when thou heardest them not; lest thou shouldest say, Behold, I knew them.

48:8 Yea, thou heardest not; yea, thou knewest not; yea, from that time [that] thine ear was not opened: for I knew that thou wouldest deal very treacherously, and wast called a transgressor from the womb.

48:9 For My name's sake will I defer mine anger, and for My praise will I refrain for thee, that I cut thee not off.

48:10 Behold, I have refined thee, but not with silver; I have chosen thee in the furnace of affliction.

48:11 For mine own sake, [even] for mine own sake, will I do [it]: for how should [My name] be polluted? and I will not give My glory unto another.

48:12 Hearken unto Me, O Yaakov and Yisrael, My called; I [am] he; I [am] the first, I also [am] the last.

48:13 Mine hand also hath laid the foundation of the earth, and My right hand hath spanned the heavens: [when] I call unto them, they stand up together.

48:14 All ye, assemble yourselves, and hear; which among them hath declared these [things]? YHWH (יהוה) hath loved him: he will do his pleasure on Bavel, and his arm [shall be on] the Kasdim (Chaldeans).

48:15 I, [even] I, have spoken; yea, I have called him: I have brought him, and he shall make his way prosperous.

48:16 Come ye near unto Me, hear ye this; I have not spoken in secret from the beginning; from the time that *she was, there [am] I: and now Adonay (אדני) YHWH (יהוה), and His Ruach, hath sent Me.

48:17 Thus saith YHWH (יהוה), thy Redeemer, the Set Apart One of Yisrael; I [am] YHWH (יהוה) thy Elohim (אלהים) which teacheth thee to profit, which leadeth thee by the way [that] thou shouldest go.

48:18 O that thou hadst hearkened to My commandments! then had thy peace been as a river, and thy tzedakah as the waves of the sea:

48:19 Thy seed also had been as the sand, and the offspring of thy bowels like the gravel thereof; his name should not have been cut off nor destroyed from before Me.

48:20 Go ye forth of Bavel, flee ye from the Kasdim (Chaldeans), with a voice of singing declare ye, tell this, utter it [even] to the end of the earth; say ye, YHWH (יהוה) hath redeemed his eved Yaakov.

48:21 And they thirsted not [when] he led them through the deserts: he caused the waters to flow out of the rock for them: he clave the rock also, and the waters gushed out.

48:22 [There is] no peace, saith YHWH (יהוה), unto the wicked.
