1
 Brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, ye which are spiritual, restore such an one in the spirit of meekness; considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted.
2
 Bear ye one another's burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ.
3
 For if a man think himself to be something, when he is nothing, he deceiveth himself.
4
 But let every man prove his own work, and then shall he have rejoicing in himself alone, and not in another.
5
 For every man shall bear his own burden.
6
 Let him that is taught in the word communicate unto him that teacheth in all good things.
7
 Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.
8
 For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting.
9
 And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.
10
 As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all
men,
especially unto them who are of the household of faith.
11
 Ye see how large a letter I have written unto you with mine own hand.
12
 As many as desire to make a fair shew in the flesh, they constrain you to be circumcised; only lest they should suffer persecution for the cross of Christ.
13
 For neither they themselves who are circumcised keep the law; but desire to have you circumcised, that they may glory in your flesh.
14
 But God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified unto me, and I unto the world.
15
 For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision, but a new creature.
16
 And as many as walk according to this rule, peace
be
on them, and mercy, and upon the Israel of God.
17
 From henceforth let no man trouble me: for I bear in my body the marks of the Lord Jesus.
18
 Brethren, the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ
be
with your spirit. Amen.
To the chief Musician, A Psalm
and
Song of David.
1
 Praise waiteth for thee, O God, in Sion: and unto thee shall the vow be performed.
2
 O thou that hearest prayer, unto thee shall all flesh come.
3
 Iniquities prevail against me:
as for
our transgressions, thou shalt purge them away.
4
 Blessed
is the man whom
thou choosest, and causest to approach
unto thee, that
he may dwell in thy courts: we shall be satisfied with the goodness of thy house,
even
of thy holy temple.
5
Â
By
terrible things in righteousness wilt thou answer us, O God of our salvation;
who art
the confidence of all the ends of the earth, and of them that are afar off
upon
the sea:
6
 Which by his strength setteth fast the mountains;
being
girded with power:
7
 Which stilleth the noise of the seas, the noise of their waves, and the tumult of the people.
8
 They also that dwell in the uttermost parts are afraid at thy tokens: thou makest the outgoings of the morning and evening to rejoice.
9
 Thou visitest the earth, and waterest it: thou greatly enrichest it with the river of God,
which
is full of water: thou preparest them corn, when thou hast so provided for it.
10
 Thou waterest the ridges thereof abundantly: thou settlest the furrows thereof: thou makest it soft with showers: thou blessest the springing thereof.
11
 Thou crownest the year with thy goodness; and thy paths drop fatness.
12
 They drop
upon
the pastures of the wilderness: and the little hills rejoice on every side.
13
 The pastures are clothed with flocks; the valleys also are covered over with corn; they shout for joy, they also sing.
24
 The father of the righteous shall greatly rejoice: and he that begetteth a wise
child
shall have joy of him.
1
 At that time Merodach-baladan, the son of Baladan, king of Babylon, sent letters and a present to Hezekiah: for he had heard that he had been sick, and was recovered.
2
 And Hezekiah was glad of them, and shewed them the house of his precious things, the silver, and the gold, and the spices, and the precious ointment, and all the house of his armour, and all that was found in his treasures: there was nothing in his house, nor in all his dominion, that Hezekiah shewed them not.
3
 Then came Isaiah the prophet unto king Hezekiah, and said unto him, What said these men? and from whence came they unto thee?
And Hezekiah said, They are come from a far country unto me,
even
from Babylon.
4
 Then said he, What have they seen in thine house?
And Hezekiah answered, All that
is
in mine house have they seen: there is nothing among my treasures that I have not shewed them.
5
 Then said Isaiah to Hezekiah, Hear the word of the L
ORD
of hosts:
6
 Behold, the days come, that all that
is
in thine house, and
that
which thy fathers have laid up in store until this day, shall be carried to Babylon: nothing shall be left, saith the L
ORD
.
7
 And of thy sons that shall issue from thee, which thou shalt beget, shall they take away; and they shall be eunuchs in the palace of the king of Babylon.
8
 Then said Hezekiah to Isaiah, Good
is
the word of the L
ORD
which thou hast spoken. He said moreover, For there shall be peace and truth in my days.
40:
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: for she hath received of the L
ORD
's hand double for all her sins.
3
 The voice of him that crieth in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the L
ORD
, make straight 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 crooked shall be made straight, and the rough places plain:
5
 And the glory of the L
ORD
shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see
it
together: for the mouth of the L
ORD
hath spoken
it.
6
 The voice said, Cry. And he 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 spirit of the L
ORD
bloweth upon it: surely the people
is
grass.
8
 The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: but the word of our God shall stand for ever.
9
 O Zion, that bringest good tidings, get thee up into the high mountain; O Jerusalem, that bringest good tidings, 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 G
OD
will come with strong
hand,
and his arm shall rule for him: behold, his reward
is
with him, and his work before him.
11
 He shall feed his flock like a shepherd: he shall gather the lambs with his arm, and carry
them
in his bosom,
and
shall gently lead those that are with 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 the L
ORD
, or
being
his counsellor hath taught him?
14
 With whom took he counsel, and
who
instructed him, and taught him in the path of judgment, and taught him knowledge, and shewed to him the way of understanding?
15
 Behold, the nations
are
as a drop of a bucket, and are counted 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 nations before him
are
as nothing; and they are counted to him less than nothing, and vanity.
18
 To whom then will ye liken God? or what likeness will ye compare unto him?
19
 The workman melteth a graven image, and the goldsmith spreadeth it over with gold, and casteth silver chains.
20
 He that
is
so impoverished that he hath no oblation chooseth a tree
that
will not rot; he seeketh unto him a cunning workman to prepare a graven image,
that
shall not be moved.
21
 Have ye not known? have ye not heard? hath it not been told you from the beginning? have ye not understood from the foundations of the earth?
22
Â
It is
he that sitteth upon 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 the princes to nothing; he maketh the judges of the earth as vanity.
24
 Yea, they shall not be planted; yea, they shall not be sown: yea, their stock shall not take root in the earth: and he shall also blow upon them, and they shall wither, and the whirlwind shall take them away as stubble.
25
 To whom then will ye liken me, or shall I be equal? saith the Holy One.
26
 Lift up your eyes on high, and behold who hath created these
things,
that bringeth out their host by number: he calleth them all by names by the greatness of his might, for that
he is
strong in power; not one faileth.
27
 Why sayest thou, O Jacob, and speakest, O Israel, My way is hid from the L
ORD
, and my judgment is passed over from my God?
28
 Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard,
that
the everlasting God, the L
ORD
, 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
them that have
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 upon the L
ORD
shall renew
their
strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary;
and
they shall walk, and not faint.
41:
1
 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 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 pursued them,
and
passed safely;
even
by the way
that
he had not gone with his feet.
4
 Who hath wrought and done
it,
calling the generations from the beginning? I the L
ORD
, the first, and with the last; I
am
he.
5
 The isles saw
it,
and feared; the ends of the earth were afraid, drew near, and came.
6
 They helped every one his neighbour; and
every one
said to his brother, Be of good courage.
7
 So the carpenter encouraged the goldsmith,
and
he that smootheth
with
the hammer him that smote the anvil, saying, It
is
ready for the soldering: and he fastened it with nails,
that
it should not be moved.
8
 But thou, Israel,
art
my servant, Jacob whom I have chosen, the seed of Abraham my friend.
9
Â
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
 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
 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
 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
 For I the L
ORD
thy God will hold thy right hand, saying unto thee, Fear not; I will help thee.
14
 Fear not, thou worm Jacob,
and
ye men of Israel; I will help thee, saith the L
ORD
, and thy redeemer, the Holy One of Israel.
15
 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
 Thou shalt fan them, and the wind shall carry them away, and the whirlwind shall scatter them: and thou shalt rejoice in the L
ORD
,
and
shalt glory in the Holy One of Israel.
