1
The Controls Human Events
Be silent and listen, every island in the sea. Have courage and come near, every one of you nations. Let's settle this matter!
Keep silence before me, O islands; and let the people renew their strength: let them come near; then let them speak: let us come near together to judgment.
2 Who appointed this ruler from the east? Who puts nations and kings in his power? His sword and his arrows turn them to dust blown by the wind. Who raised up the righteous man from the east, called him to his foot, gave the nations before him, and made him rule over kings? he gave them as the dust to his sword, and as driven stubble to his bow.
3 He goes after them so quickly that his feet barely touch the ground— he doesn't even get hurt. He pursued them, and passed safely; even by the way that he had not gone with his feet.
4 Who makes these things happen? Who controls human events? I do! I am the Lord. I was there at the beginning; I will be there at the end. Who hath wrought and done it, calling the generations from the beginning? I the Lord, the first, and with the last; I am he.
5 Islands and foreign nations saw what I did and trembled as they came near. The isles saw it, and feared; the ends of the earth were afraid, drew near, and came.
6
What Can Idols Do?
Worshipers of idols comfort each other, saying, “Don't worry!”
They helped every one his neighbour; and every one said to his brother, Be of good courage.
7 Woodcarvers, goldsmiths, and other workers encourage one another and say, “We've done a great job!” Then they nail the idol down, so it won't fall over. So the carpenter encouraged the goldsmith, and he that smootheth with the hammer him that smote the anvil, saying, It is ready for the sodering: and he fastened it with nails, that it should not be moved.

The 's Chosen Servant
Israel, you are my servant. I chose you, the family of my friend Abraham.
But thou, Israel, art my servant, Jacob whom I have chosen, the seed of Abraham my friend.
9 From far across the earth I brought you here and said, “You are my chosen servant. I haven't forgotten you.” Thou whom I have taken from the ends of the earth, and called thee from the chief men thereof, and said unto thee, Thou art my servant; I have chosen thee, and not cast thee away.
10 Don't be afraid. I am with you. Don't tremble with fear. I am your God. I will make you strong, as I protect you with my arm and give you victories. Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.
11 Everyone who hates you will be terribly disgraced; those who attack will vanish into thin air. Behold, all they that were incensed against thee shall be ashamed and confounded: they shall be as nothing; and they that strive with thee shall perish.
12 You will look around for those brutal enemies, but you won't find them— they will be gone. Thou shalt seek them, and shalt not find them, even them that contended with thee: they that war against thee shall be as nothing, and as a thing of nought.
13 I am the Lord your God. I am holding your hand, so don't be afraid. I am here to help you. For I the Lord thy God will hold thy right hand, saying unto thee, Fear not; I will help thee.
14 People of Israel, don't worry, though others may say, “Israel is only a worm!” I am the holy God of Israel, who saves and protects you. Fear not, thou worm Jacob, and ye men of Israel; I will help thee, saith the Lord, and thy redeemer, the Holy One of Israel.
15 I will let you be like a log covered with sharp spikes. You will grind and crush every mountain and hill until they turn to dust. Behold, I will make thee a new sharp threshing instrument having teeth: thou shalt thresh the mountains, and beat them small, and shalt make the hills as chaff.
16 A strong wind will scatter them in all directions. Then you will celebrate and praise me, your Lord, the holy God of Israel. Thou shalt fan them, and the wind shall carry them away, and the whirlwind shall scatter them: and thou shalt rejoice in the Lord, and shalt glory in the Holy One of Israel.
17
The Helps the Poor
When the poor and needy are dying of thirst and cannot find water, I, the Lord God of Israel, will come to their rescue. I won't forget them.
When the poor and needy seek water, and there is none, and their tongue faileth for thirst, I the Lord will hear them, I the God of Israel will not forsake them.
18 I will make rivers flow on mountain peaks. I will send streams to fill the valleys. Dry and barren land will flow with springs and become a lake. I will open rivers in high places, and fountains in the midst of the valleys: I will make the wilderness a pool of water, and the dry land springs of water.
19 I will fill the desert with all kinds of trees— cedars, acacias, and myrtles; olive and cypress trees; fir trees and pines. I will plant in the wilderness the cedar, the shittah tree, and the myrtle, and the oil tree; I will set in the desert the fir tree, and the pine, and the box tree together:
20 Everyone will see this and know that I, the holy Lord God of Israel, created it all. That they may see, and know, and consider, and understand together, that the hand of the Lord hath done this, and the Holy One of Israel hath created it.
21
Idols Are Useless
I am the Lord, the King of Israel! Come argue your case with me. Present your evidence.
Produce your cause, saith the Lord; bring forth your strong reasons, saith the King of Jacob.
22 Come near me, you idols. Tell us about the past, and we will think about it. Tell us about the future, so we will know what is going to happen. Let them bring them forth, and shew us what shall happen: let them shew the former things, what they be, that we may consider them, and know the latter end of them; or declare us things for to come.
23 Prove that you are gods by making your predictions come true. Do something good or evil, so we can be amazed and terrified. Shew the things that are to come hereafter, that we may know that ye are gods: yea, do good, or do evil, that we may be dismayed, and behold it together.
24 You idols are nothing, and you are powerless. To worship you would be disgusting. Behold, ye are of nothing, and your work of nought: an abomination is he that chooseth you.
25 I, the Lord, appointed a ruler in the north; now he comes from the east to honor my name. He tramples kings like mud, as potters trample clay. I have raised up one from the north, and he shall come: from the rising of the sun shall he call upon my name: and he shall come upon princes as upon morter, and as the potter treadeth clay.
26 Did any of you idols predict what would happen? Did any of you get it right? None of you told about this or even spoke a word. Who hath declared from the beginning, that we may know? and beforetime, that we may say, He is righteous? yea, there is none that sheweth, yea, there is none that declareth, yea, there is none that heareth your words.
27 I was the first to tell the people of Jerusalem, “Look, it's happening!” I was the one who announced this good news to Zion. The first shall say to Zion, Behold, behold them: and I will give to Jerusalem one that bringeth good tidings.
28 None of these idols are able to give advice or answer questions. For I beheld, and there was no man; even among them, and there was no counsellor, that, when I asked of them, could answer a word.
29 They are nothing, and they can do nothing— they are merely a passing breeze. Behold, they are all vanity; their works are nothing: their molten images are wind and confusion.
