Lexicon :: Strong's H977 - bāḥar

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

And you will be embarrassed ^H2659 by the gardens ^H1593 which ^H834 you have chosen ^H977.

When ^H3588 the LORD ^H3068 has ^H7355 compassion ^H7355 on ^H7355 Jacob ^H3290 and again ^H5750 chooses ^H977 Israel ^H3478, and settles ^H5117 them on their own land ^H127, then strangers ^H1616 will join ^H3867 them and attach ^H5596 themselves to the house ^H1004 of Jacob ^H3290.

He who is too impoverished ^H5532 for such an offering ^H8641

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

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

To [fn]prepare ^H3559 [fn]an idol ^H6459 that will not totter ^H4131.

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

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

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

“You are My witnesses ^H5707,” declares ^H5002 the LORD ^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 listen ^H8085, 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.

This ^H3541 is ^H3541 what ^H3541 the LORD ^H3068, the Redeemer ^H1350 of Israel ^H3478 and its Holy ^H6918 One ^H6918,

Says ^H559 to the [fn]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 the LORD ^H3068 who ^H834 is faithful ^H539, the Holy ^H6918 One ^H6918 of Israel ^H3478 who has chosen ^H977 You.”

For this ^H3541 is ^H3541 what ^H3541 the LORD ^H3068 says ^H559:

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

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

And hold ^H2388 firmly ^H2388 to My covenant ^H1285,

“Is it a fast ^H6685 like this ^H2088 that I choose ^H977, a day ^H3117 for a person ^H120 to humble ^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 the LORD ^H3068?

I will destine ^H4487 you for the sword ^H2719,

And all ^H3605 of you will bow ^H3766 down ^H3766 to the slaughter ^H2874.

Because ^H3282 I called ^H7121, but you did not answer ^H6030;

I spoke ^H1696, but you did not listen ^H8085.

Instead, you did ^H6213 evil ^H7451 in My sight ^H5869

And chose ^H977 that in which ^H834 I did not delight ^H2654.”

“But the one who slaughters ^H7819 an ox ^H7794 is like one who kills ^H5221 a person ^H376;

The one who sacrifices ^H2076 a lamb ^H7716 is like one who breaks ^H6202 a dog’s ^H3611 neck ^H6202;

One who offers ^H5927 a grain offering ^H4503 is like one who offers pig’s ^H2386 blood ^H1818;

One who [fn]burns ^H2142 incense ^H3828 is like one who blesses ^H1288 an idol ^H205.

As they have chosen ^H977 their own ways ^H1870,

And their souls ^H5315 delight ^H2654 in their abominations ^H8251,
