Geneva Study Bible
   1: Comfort ye, comfort ye my people, saith your God.
   2: Speak ye comfortably to Jerusalem; and cry unto her, that her warfare is accomplished, that her iniquity is pardoned, that she hath received of Jehovah's hand double for all her sins.
   3: The voice of one that crieth, Prepare ye in the wilderness the way of Jehovah; make level in the desert a highway for our God.
   4: Every valley shall be exalted, and every mountain and hill shall be made low; and the uneven shall be made level, and the rough places a plain:
   5: and the glory of Jehovah shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together; for the mouth of Jehovah hath spoken it.
   6: The voice of one saying, Cry. And one said, What shall I cry? All flesh is grass, and all the goodliness thereof is as the flower of the field.
   7: The grass withereth, the flower fadeth, because the breath of Jehovah bloweth upon it; surely the people is grass.
   8: The grass withereth, the flower fadeth; but the word of our God shall stand forever.
   9: O thou that tellest good tidings to Zion, get thee up on a high mountain; O thou that tellest good tidings to Jerusalem, lift up thy voice with strength; lift it up, be not afraid; say unto the cities of Judah, Behold, your God!
   10: Behold, the Lord Jehovah will come as a mighty one, and his arm will rule for him: Behold, his reward is with him, and his recompense before him.
   11: He will feed his flock like a shepherd, he will gather the lambs in his arm, and carry them in his bosom, [and] will gently lead those that have their young.
   12: Who hath measured the waters in the hollow of his hand, and meted out heaven with the span, and comprehended the dust of the earth in a measure, and weighed the mountains in scales, and the hills in a balance?
   13: Who hath directed the Spirit of Jehovah, or being his counsellor hath taught him?
   14: With whom took he counsel, and who instructed him, and taught him in the path of justice, and taught him knowledge, and showed to him the way of understanding?
   15: Behold, the nations are as a drop of a bucket, and are accounted as the small dust of the balance: Behold, he taketh up the isles as a very little thing.
   16: And Lebanon is not sufficient to burn, nor the beasts thereof sufficient for a burnt-offering.
   17: All the nations are as nothing before him; they are accounted by him as less than nothing, and vanity.
   18: To whom then will ye liken God? or what likeness will ye compare unto him?
   19: The image, a workman hath cast [it], and the goldsmith overlayeth it with gold, and casteth [for it] silver chains.
   20: He that is too impoverished for [such] an oblation chooseth a tree that will not rot; he seeketh unto him a skilful workman to set up a graven image, that shall not be moved.
   21: Have ye not known? have yet not heard? hath it not been told you from the beginning? have ye not understood from the foundations of the earth?
   22: [It is] he that sitteth above the circle of the earth, and the inhabitants thereof are as grasshoppers; that stretcheth out the heavens as a curtain, and spreadeth them out as a tent to dwell in;
   23: that bringeth princes to nothing; that maketh the judges of the earth as vanity.
   24: Yea, they have not been planted; yea, they have not been sown; yea, their stock hath not taken root in the earth: moreover he bloweth upon them, and they wither, and the whirlwind taketh them away as stubble.
   25: To whom then will ye liken me, that I should be equal [to him]? saith the Holy One.
   26: Lift up your eyes on high, and see who hath created these, that bringeth out their host by number; he calleth them all by name; by the greatness of his might, and for that he is strong in power, not one is lacking.
   27: Why sayest thou, O Jacob, and speakest, O Israel, My way is hid from Jehovah, and the justice [due] to me is passed away from my God?
   28: Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard? The everlasting God, Jehovah, the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not, neither is weary; there is no searching of his understanding.
   29: He giveth power to the faint; and to him that hath no might he increaseth strength.
   30: Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall:
   31: but they that wait for Jehovah shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; they shall walk, and not faint.
