Moreover, Amaziah ^H558 assembled ^H6908 Judah ^H3063 and appointed ^H5975 them according to their fathers’ ^H1 households ^H1004 under commanders ^H8269 of thousands ^H505 and commanders ^H8269 of hundreds ^H3967 throughout ^H3605 Judah ^H3063 and Benjamin ^H1144; and he [fn]took ^H6485 a ^H6485 census ^H6485 of those from twenty ^H6242 years ^H8141 old ^H1121 and upward ^H4605 and found ^H4672 them to be 300,000 ^{H7969 H3967 H505} choice ^H970 men, able to go ^H3318 out ^H3318 for military duty ^H6635, able to handle ^H270 spear ^H7420 and large ^H6793 shield ^H6793.

“You are Yahweh ^H3068 God ^H430,

Who ^H834 chose ^H977 Abram ^H87

And brought ^H3318 him out ^H3318 from Ur ^H218 of the Chaldees ^H3778,

And gave ^H7760 him the name ^H8034 Abraham ^H85.

So that my soul ^H5315 would choose ^H977 suffocation ^H4267,

Death ^H4194 rather ^H4480 than ^H4480 my [fn]pains ^H6106.

“How ^H637 then ^H637 H3588 can I [fn]answer ^H6030 Him,

And choose ^H977 my words ^H1697 [fn]before ^H5973 Him?

“For your iniquity ^H5771 teaches ^H502 your mouth ^H6310,

And you choose ^H977 the tongue ^H3956 of the crafty ^H6175.

“I chose ^H977 a way ^H1870 for them and sat ^H3427 as chief ^H7218,

And dwelt ^H7931 as their head ^H4428 among the troops ^H1416,

As one who ^H834 comforted ^H5162 the mourners ^H57.

“Let us choose ^H977 for ourselves what ^H4941 is ^H4941 just ^H4941;

Let us know ^H3045 among ^H996 ourselves what ^H4100 is good ^H2896.

“Shall He repay ^H7999 on your terms ^H5973, because ^H3588 you have rejected ^H3988 it?

For you must choose ^H977, and not I;

Therefore say ^H1696 what ^H4100 you know ^H3045.

“Be ^H8104 careful ^H8104, do not turn ^H6437 to wickedness ^H205,

For you have chosen ^H977 this ^H2088 to affliction ^H6040.

Mem

Who ^H4310 is the man ^H376 who fears ^H3372 Yahweh ^H3068?

He will instruct ^H3384 him in the way ^H1870 he should choose ^H977.

Blessed ^H835 is the nation ^H1471 whose ^H834 God ^H430 is Yahweh ^H3068,

The people ^H5971 whom He has chosen ^H977 for His own inheritance ^H5159.

He chooses ^H977 our inheritance ^H5159 for us,

The pride ^H1347 of Jacob ^H3290 whom ^H834 He loves ^H157. [fn]Selah ^H5542.

How blessed ^H835 is the one whom You choose ^H977 and bring ^H7126 near ^H7126 to You

That he would dwell ^H7931 in ^H7931 Your courts ^H2691.

We will be ^H7646 satisfied ^H7646 with the goodness ^H2898 of Your house ^H1004,

Your holy ^H6918 temple ^H1964.

He also rejected ^H3988 the tent ^H168 of Joseph ^H3130,

And did not choose ^H977 the tribe ^H7626 of Ephraim ^H669,

He also chose ^H977 David ^H1732 His servant ^H5650

And took ^H3947 him from the sheepfolds ^H6629 H4356;

For better ^H2896 is a day ^H3117 in Your courts ^H2691 than ^H4480 a thousand ^H505 elsewhere.

I would choose to stand ^H5605 at the threshold ^H5605 of the house ^H1004 of my God ^H430

Than ^H4480 dwell ^H1752 in the tents ^H168 of wickedness ^H7562.

He sent ^H7971 Moses ^H4872 His servant ^H5650,

And Aaron ^H175, whom ^H834 He had chosen ^H977.

I have chosen ^H977 the faithful ^H530 way ^H1870;

I have [fn]placed ^H7737 Your judgments ^H4941 before me.

Let Your hand ^H3027 be [fn]ready to help ^H5826 me,

For I have chosen ^H977 Your precepts ^H6490.

For Yahweh ^H3068 has chosen ^H977 Zion ^H6726;

He has desired ^H183 it for His habitation ^H4186.

For Yah ^H3050 has chosen ^H977 Jacob ^H3290 for Himself,

Israel ^H3478 for His [fn]treasured ^H5459 possession ^H5459.

Because ^H8478 H3588 they hated ^H8130 knowledge ^H1847

And did not choose ^H977 the fear ^H3374 of Yahweh ^H3068.

Do not envy ^H7065 a man ^H376 of violence ^H2555

And do not choose ^H977 any ^H3605 of his ways ^H1870.

“Take ^H3947 my discipline ^H4148 and not silver ^H3701,

And knowledge ^H1847 rather ^H4480 than ^H4480 choicest ^H977 fine ^H2742 gold ^H2742.

“My fruit ^H6529 is better ^H2896 than ^H4480 fine ^H2742 gold ^H2742, even pure ^H6337 gold ^H6337,

And my produce ^H8393 better than ^H4480 choice ^H977 silver ^H3701.

The tongue ^H3956 of the righteous ^H6662 is as choice ^H977 silver ^H3701,

The heart ^H3820 of the wicked ^H7563 is worth little ^H4592.

How ^H4100 much better ^H2896 it is to acquire ^H7069 wisdom ^H2451 than ^H4480 fine ^H2742 gold ^H2742!

And to acquire ^H7069 understanding ^H998 is to be chosen ^H977 above ^H4480 silver ^H3701.

To do ^H6213 righteousness ^H6666 and justice ^H4941

Is chosen ^H977 by Yahweh ^H3068 over ^H4480 sacrifice ^H2077.

A good name ^H8034 is to be chosen ^H977 over ^H4480 great ^H7227 wealth ^H6239,

Favor ^H2580 is better ^H2896 than ^H4480 silver ^H3701 and gold ^H2091.

“His legs ^H7785 are pillars ^H5982 of marble ^H8336

Set ^H3245 on bases ^H134 of fine ^H6337 gold ^H6337;

His appearance ^H4758 is like Lebanon ^H3844

Choice ^H977 as the cedars ^H730.

For ^H3588 [fn]you will be ^H954 ashamed ^H954 of the [fn]oaks ^H352 which ^H834 you have desired ^H2530,

And you will be humiliated ^H2659 because of the gardens ^H1593 which ^H834 you have chosen ^H977.

When ^H3588 Yahweh ^H3068 will have ^H7355 compassion ^H7355 on ^H7355 Jacob ^H3290 and again ^H5750 choose ^H977 Israel ^H3478, and [fn]put ^H5117 them in their own land ^H127, then sojourners ^H1616 will join ^H3867 them and attach ^H5596 themselves to the house ^H1004 of Jacob ^H3290.

He who is too impoverished ^H5532 to make such a contribution ^H8641

Chooses ^H977 a tree ^H6086 that does not rot ^H7537;

He seeks ^H1245 out ^H1245 for himself a wise ^H2450 craftsman ^H2796

To [fn]prepare ^H3559 a graven ^H6459 image ^H6459 that will not be shaken ^H4131.

“But you, Israel ^H3478, My servant ^H5650,

Jacob ^H3290 whom ^H834 I have chosen ^H977,

Seed ^H2233 of Abraham ^H85 My friend ^H157,

Behold ^H2005, you are nothing ^H369,

And your work ^H6467 is non-existent ^H657;

He who chooses ^H977 you is an abomination ^H8441.

“You are My witnesses ^H5707,” declares ^H5002 Yahweh ^H3068,

“And My servant ^H5650 whom ^H834 I have chosen ^H977,

So that you may know ^H3045 and believe ^H539 Me

And understand ^H995 that I am He.

Before ^H6440 Me there was no ^H3808 god ^H410 formed ^H3335,

And there will be none ^H3808 after ^H310 Me.

“But now ^H6258 hear ^H8085, O Jacob ^H3290, My servant ^H5650,

And Israel ^H3478, whom I have chosen ^H977:

“Behold ^H2009, I have refined ^H6884 you, but not as silver ^H3701;

I have tested ^H977 you in the furnace ^H3564 of affliction ^H6040.

Thus ^H3541 says ^H559 Yahweh ^H3068, the Redeemer ^H1350 of Israel ^H3478 and its Holy ^H6918 One ^H6918,

To the despised ^H960 One,

To the One abhorred ^H8581 by the nation ^H1471,

To the Servant ^H5650 of rulers ^H4910,

“Kings ^H4428 will see ^H7200 and arise ^H6965,

Princes ^H8269 will also bow ^H2331 down ^H2331,

Because ^H4616 of Yahweh ^H3068 who ^H834 is faithful ^H539, the Holy ^H6918 One ^H6918 of Israel ^H3478 who has chosen ^H977 You.”

For thus ^H3541 says ^H559 Yahweh ^H3068,

“To the eunuchs ^H5631 who ^H834 keep ^H8104 My sabbaths ^H7676,

And choose ^H977 what ^H834 pleases ^H2654 Me,

And hold ^H2388 fast ^H2388 My covenant ^H1285,

“Is it a fast ^H6685 like this ^H2088 which I choose ^H977, a day ^H3117 for a man ^H120 to afflict ^H6031 himself ^H5315?

Is it for bowing ^H3721 [fn]one’s head ^H7218 like a reed ^H100

And for spreading ^H3331 out ^H3331 sackcloth ^H8242 and ashes ^H665 as ^H3331 a ^H3331 bed ^H3331?

Will you call ^H7121 this ^H2088 a fast ^H6685, even an acceptable ^H7522 day ^H3117 to Yahweh ^H3068?
