¹⁴ And all shall be gathered together, and shall hearken. Who declared these things unto them? Because I loved thee, I did this upon Babylon, thy will, to destroy the seed of the Chaldaeans.

²¹ If they do declare it, let them draw near, that they may learn together, who made these things to be heard, from the beginning: then was it declared unto you, I am God, and there is none other but me; righteous and a saviour, there is none except me.

⁶ And he said to me, It is a great thing for thee, that thou mayest be called my servant, that thou mayest set up the tribes of Jacob, and turn again the dispersion of Israel; behold. I have set thee for a light of nations, that thou mayest be for salvation unto the end of the earth.

¹² Behold, these come from far, these from the north, and these from the sea, and others from the land of the Persians.

¹⁸ In that day shall there be five cities in Egypt speaking in the language of Canaan, and swearing in the name of the Lord; the one city shall be called, City of Asedek. ¹⁹ In that day shall there be the altar to the Lord in the Egyptians' land, and a pillar at its boundary to the Lord. ²⁰ And it shall be for a sign for ever to the Lord in the land of Egypt; for they shall cry unto the Lord because of them that oppress them, and the Lord shall send them a man, who shall save them: he shall judge and save them. ²¹ And the Lord shall be known to the Egyptians; and the Egyptians shall know the Lord in that day, and shall offer sacrifices, and shall make vows to the Lord, and render them.

³ For I will give water in thirst to them that walk in a waterless place; I will put my Spirit upon thy seed, and my blessings upon thy children, ⁴ And they shall rise up as grass among water, and as a willow by the side of a flowing water. ⁵ This one shall say, I am God's, and this shall speak in the name of Jacob; and another writeth, I am God's; upon the name of Israel.

¹⁹ I have not spoken in secret, nor in a dark place of the earth; I said not to the seed of Jacob, Seek ye a vain thing; I am, I am one that speaketh righteousness, and declareth truth.

¹¹ So shall be my word, whatsoever goeth forth from my mouth; it shall not return until all that I willed be fulfilled, and I prosper thy ways and my commandments.

¹⁶ Which shall be blessed upon the earth; for they shall bless the true God, and they that swear upon the earth shall swear by the true God. For they shall forget the first affliction, and it shall not come up into their heart.

¹¹ Behold, all they that resist thee shall be ashamed and turned backward; for they shall be as though they were not, and all thy adversaries shall perish.

¹⁷ Every instrument is corruptible, but against thee I will not approve it; and every voice that shall stand up against thee for judgment, all them shalt thou vanquish, and they that are subject to thee shall be therein. There is an inheritance for them that attend on the Lord, and ye shall be righteous in my sight, saith the Lord.

⁵ Nations which knew not thee shall call upon thee; and peoples which understand not thee shall flee unto thee, for thy God's sake, the Holy One of Israel; for he glorifieth thee.

⁹ For me did the isles wait, and the ships of Tarshish first of all, to bring thy children from far, and their silver and their gold with them, because of the name of the Lord, which is holy, and because the Holy One of Israel is glorious.

¹⁰ And with joy shall they rejoice unto the Lord. Let my soul triumph because of the Lord; for he hath clothed me with a cloke of salvation and a robe of joy, he hath put a garland on (my head) as on a bridegroom, and hath adorned me with ornaments as a bride.

¹⁶ And thou shalt winnow them, and a wind shall take them, and a tempest shall scatter them. But thou shalt rejoice among the holy things of Israel.

⁹ And I will bring forth the seed that cometh from Jacob, and from Judah, and it shall inherit my holy mountain, and my chosen shall inherit it, and my bondmen shall dwell there.

²³ And my chosen ones shall not labour in vain, nor bring forth children for a curse; for it is a seed blessed by God, and their offspring shall be with them.
