and many peoples will come and say,

“Come, let’s go up to the mountain of the LORD,

to the house of the God of Jacob.

He will teach us about his ways

so that we may walk in his paths.”

For instruction will go out of Zion

and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem.

On that day he will cry out, saying,

“I’m not a healer.

I don’t even have food or clothing in my house.

Don’t make me the leader of the people! ”

I will wait for the LORD,

who is hiding his face from the house of Jacob.

I will wait for him.

They will wander through the land, dejected and hungry. When they are famished, they will become enraged, and, looking upward, will curse their king and their God.

“Isn’t Calno like Carchemish?

Isn’t Hamath like Arpad?

Isn’t Samaria like Damascus?[fn]

They all respond to you, saying,

“You too have become as weak as we are;

you have become like us!

Those who see you will stare at you;

they will look closely at you:

“Is this the man who caused the earth to tremble,

who shook the kingdoms,

The LORD of Armies has sworn:

As I have purposed, so it will be;

as I have planned it, so it will happen.

The princes of Zoan are complete fools;

Pharaoh’s wisest advisers give stupid advice!

How can you say to Pharaoh,

“I am one[fn] of the wise,

a student of eastern[fn] kings”?

“And the inhabitants of this coastland will say on that day, ‘Look, this is what has happened to those we relied on and fled to for help to rescue us from the king of Assyria! Now, how will we escape? ’ ”

He said,

“You will not celebrate anymore,

ravished young woman, daughter of Sidon.

Get up and cross over to Cyprus —

even there you will have no rest! ”

From the ends of the earth we hear songs:

The Splendor of the Righteous One.

But I said, “I waste away! I waste away![fn]

Woe is me.”

The treacherous act treacherously;

the treacherous deal very treacherously.

On that day it will be said,

“Look, this is our God;

we have waited for him, and he has saved us.

This is the LORD; we have waited for him.

Let’s rejoice and be glad in his salvation.”

For you the entire vision will be like the words of a sealed document. If it is given to one who can read and he is asked to read it,[fn] he will say, “I can’t read it, because it is sealed.”

Woe to those who go to great lengths

to hide their plans from the LORD.

They do their works in the dark,

and say, “Who sees us? Who knows us? ”

who said to them, “Tell your master, ‘The LORD says this: Don’t be afraid because of the words you have heard, with which the king of Assyria’s attendants have blasphemed me.

“Say this to King Hezekiah of Judah: ‘Don’t let your God, on whom you rely, deceive you by promising that Jerusalem won’t be handed over to the king of Assyria.

Each one helps the other,

and says to another, “Take courage! ”

“Who told about this from the beginning,

so that we might know,

and from times past,

so that we might say, ‘He is right’?

No one announced it,

no one told it,

no one heard your words.

“This one will say, ‘I am the LORD’s’;

another will use the name of Jacob;

still another will write on his hand, ‘The LORD’s,’

and take on the name of Israel.”

He feeds on[fn] ashes.

His deceived mind has led him astray,

and he cannot rescue himself,

or say, “Isn’t there a lie in my right hand? ”

“Woe to the one who argues with his Maker —

one clay pot among many.[fn]

Does clay say to the one forming it,

‘What are you making? ’

Or does your work say,

‘He has no hands’?[fn]

This is what the LORD says:

“The products of Egypt and the merchandise of Cush

and the Sabeans, men of stature,

will come over to you

and will be yours;

they will follow you,

they will come over in chains

and bow down to you.

They will confess[fn] to you,

‘God is indeed with you, and there is no other;

there is no other God.’ ”

“Yet as you listen, the children

that you have been deprived of will say,

‘This place is too small for me;

make room for me so that I may settle.’

I have put my words in your mouth,

and covered you in the shadow of my hand,

in order to plant[fn] the heavens,

to found the earth,

and to say to Zion, “You are my people.”

He said,

“Build it up, build it up, prepare the way,

remove every obstacle from my people’s way.”

“At that time, when you call, the LORD will answer;

when you cry out, he will say, ‘Here I am.’

If you get rid of the yoke among you,

the finger-pointing and malicious speaking,

The LORD says this:

“As the new wine is found in a bunch of grapes,

and one says, ‘Don’t destroy it,

for there’s some good[fn] in it,’

so I will act because of my servants

and not destroy them all.
