1 The|strong="H0413" Lord says|strong="H1696",
2 Who|strong="H4310" woke up|strong="H5782" the|strong="H6440" man who|strong="H4310" is|strong="H4310" coming from|strong="H6440" the|strong="H6440" east|strong="H4217"?
3 He|strong="H3808" chases|strong="H7291" armies|strong="H3808" and|strong="H0935" is|strong="H0935" never|strong="H3808" hurt.
4 Who|strong="H4310" was|strong="H3068" able to|strong="H3068" make|strong="H6213" all|strong="H1755" this|strong="H1931" happen?
5 People|strong="H0776" along the|strong="H7200" coast|strong="H0339" saw|strong="H7200" this,
6 “Workers help|strong="H5826" each|strong="H0376" other|strong="H0251". They|strong="H0376" encourage|strong="H2388" each|strong="H0376" other|strong="H0251" to|strong="H0559" be|strong="H0376" strong|strong="H2388".
7 One|strong="H3808" worker cuts wood to|strong="H0559" make|strong="H2388" a|strong="H3808" statue. He|strong="H1931" encourages|strong="H2388" the|strong="H0853" man who|strong="H1931" works with|strong="H1986" gold. Another|strong="H3808" worker uses a|strong="H3808" hammer|strong="H6360" and|strong="H2388" makes|strong="H0559" the|strong="H0853" metal smooth. Then|strong="H0853" he|strong="H1931" encourages|strong="H2388" the|strong="H0853" man at|strong="H3808" the|strong="H0853" anvil|strong="H6471". This|strong="H1931" last worker says|strong="H0559", ‘This|strong="H1931" work is|strong="H1931" good|strong="H2896"; the|strong="H0853" metal will|strong="H3808" not|strong="H3808" come off|strong="H0853".’ Then|strong="H0853" he|strong="H1931" nails|strong="H4548" the|strong="H0853" statue to|strong="H0559" a|strong="H3808" base so|strong="H3808" that|strong="H1931" it|strong="H1931" will|strong="H3808" not|strong="H3808" fall|strong="H4131" over|strong="H2388". And|strong="H2388" it|strong="H1931" never|strong="H3808" moves!”
8 The|strong="H0834" Lord says, “You|strong="H0859", Israel|strong="H3478", are|strong="H0834" my|strong="H0834" servant|strong="H5650".
9 You|strong="H0859" were|strong="H0834" in|strong="H0776" a|strong="H7121" faraway country|strong="H0776",
10 Don’t|strong="H0408" worry|strong="H3372"—I|strong="H0589" am|strong="H0589" with|strong="H5973" you|strong="H3588".
11 Look|strong="H2005", some|strong="H0376" people|strong="H0376" are|strong="H0376" angry|strong="H2734" with|strong="H0376" you|strong="H3605",
12 You|strong="H3808" will|strong="H1961" look|strong="H1245" for|strong="H1245" the|strong="H1961" people|strong="H0376" who|strong="H0376" were|strong="H1961" against|strong="H4421" you|strong="H3808",
13 I|strong="H0589" am|strong="H0589" the|strong="H0559" LORD|strong="H3068" your|strong="H3068" God|strong="H0430",
14 People|strong="H0408" of|strong="H3068" Israel|strong="H3478", descendants of|strong="H3068" Jacob|strong="H3290", you|strong="H3478" may|strong="H3068" be|strong="H0408" weak and|strong="H3068" worthless|strong="H0408",
15 Look|strong="H2009", I|strong="H2009" have|strong="H2022" made|strong="H7760" you|strong="H7760" like|strong="H1389" a|strong="H7760" new|strong="H2319" threshing|strong="H1758" board with|strong="H2022" many sharp teeth.
16 You|strong="H0859" will|strong="H3068" throw them|strong="H0853" into the|strong="H0853" air|strong="H7307",
17 “The|strong="H0589" poor|strong="H6041" and|strong="H3068" needy|strong="H0034" look|strong="H1245" for|strong="H4325" water|strong="H4325",
18 I|strong="H7760" will|strong="H0776" make|strong="H7760" rivers|strong="H5104" flow|strong="H6605" on|strong="H5921" dry|strong="H6723" hills.
19 I|strong="H5414" will|strong="H5414" make|strong="H7760" trees|strong="H6086" grow in|strong="H5414" the|strong="H5414" desert|strong="H6160".
20 I|strong="H3588" will|strong="H3068" do|strong="H6213" this|strong="H2063" so|strong="H4616" that|strong="H3588" people|strong="H7200" will|strong="H3068" see|strong="H7200" it|strong="H7760" and|strong="H3068" know|strong="H3045" who|strong="H3068" did|strong="H6213" it|strong="H7760".
21 The|strong="H0559" LORD|strong="H3068", the|strong="H0559" king|strong="H4428" of|strong="H4428" Jacob|strong="H3290", says|strong="H0559", “Come|strong="H7126", present|strong="H7126" your|strong="H3068" arguments. Show me|strong="H5066" your|strong="H3068" proof.
22 Let|strong="H5046" your|strong="H0834" idols come|strong="H0935" in|strong="H0935" and|strong="H0935" tell|strong="H5046" us|strong="H5046" what|strong="H4100" will|strong="H0834" happen. Idols, tell|strong="H5046" us|strong="H5046" what|strong="H4100" happened|strong="H7136" in|strong="H0935" the|strong="H0853" beginning|strong="H7223". We|strong="H0834" will|strong="H0834" listen|strong="H8085" closely|strong="H8085" so|strong="H0834" that|strong="H0834" we|strong="H0834" can|strong="H4100" make|strong="H7760" a|strong="H0176" decision. Tell|strong="H5046" us|strong="H5046" what|strong="H4100" will|strong="H0834" happen in|strong="H0935" the|strong="H0853" future|strong="H0319".
23 What|strong="H3045" signs did you|strong="H0859" give|strong="H5046" in|strong="H0430" the|strong="H3588" past|strong="H0857" to|strong="H0430" prove|strong="H3045" that|strong="H3588" you|strong="H0859" really|strong="H0637" are|strong="H0430" gods|strong="H0430"? Do|strong="H3190" something! Do|strong="H3190" anything, good|strong="H3190" or|strong="H7200" bad, so|strong="H3588" that|strong="H3588" we|strong="H3588" can|strong="H7200" see|strong="H7200" that|strong="H3588" you|strong="H0859" are|strong="H0430" alive|strong="H7200". Then|strong="H0859" we|strong="H3588" might fear and|strong="H0430" respect you|strong="H0859".
24 “Look|strong="H2005", you|strong="H0859" false gods are|strong="H0369" worthless. You|strong="H0859" cannot|strong="H0369" do|strong="H0369" anything. Only some horrible|strong="H8441" fool would|strong="H0369" want to|strong="H0369" worship you|strong="H0859".”
25 “I|strong="H0935" called|strong="H7121" someone in|strong="H0935" the|strong="H0935" north|strong="H6828" to|strong="H0935" come|strong="H0935".
26 “Who|strong="H4310" told|strong="H5046" us|strong="H5046" about|strong="H8085" this|strong="H3045" before|strong="H6440" it|strong="H3045" happened
27 I|strong="H2005", the|strong="H5414" Lord, was|strong="H3389" the|strong="H5414" first|strong="H7223" one|strong="H7223" to|strong="H5414" tell Zion|strong="H6726" about|strong="H2009" these things|strong="H7223".
28 I|strong="H1697" looked|strong="H7200" at|strong="H7200" those|strong="H0428" false gods.
29 Those|strong="H3605" gods are|strong="H4639" all|strong="H3605" less|strong="H0657" than|strong="H3605" nothing|strong="H8414".
