I am now making clear new things, even secret things, of which you had no knowledge. <\/br><strong>7<\/strong> They have only now been effected, and not in the past: and before this day they had not come to your ears; for fear that you might say, I had knowledge of them. <\/br><strong>8<\/strong> Truly you had no word of them, no knowledge of them; no news of them in the past had come to your ears; because I saw how false was your behaviour, and that your heart was turned against me from your earliest days. <\/br><strong>9<\/strong> Because of my name I will put away my wrath, and for my praise I will keep myself from cutting you off. <\/br><strong>10<\/strong> See, I have been testing you for myself like silver; I have put you through the fire of trouble. <\/br><strong>11<\/strong> For myself, even because of my name, I will do it; for I will not let my name be shamed; and my glory I will not give to another. <\/br><strong>12<\/strong> Give ear to me, Jacob, and Israel, my loved one; I am he, I am the first and I am the last. <\/br><strong>13<\/strong> Yes, by my hand was the earth placed on its base, and by my right hand the heavens were stretched out; at my word they take up their places. <\/br><strong>14<\/strong> Come together, all of you, and give ear; who among you has given news of these things? the Lord&#8217;s loved one will do his pleasure with Babylon, and with the seed of the Chaldaeans. <\/br><strong>15<\/strong> I, even I, have given the word; I have sent for him: I have made him come, and have given effect to his undertakings. <\/br><strong>16<\/strong> Come near to me, and give ear to this; from the start I did not keep it secret; from the time of its coming into existence I was there: and now the Lord God has sent me, and given me his spirit. <\/br><strong>17<\/strong> The Lord who takes up your cause, the Holy One of Israel, says, I am the Lord your God, who is teaching you for your profit, guiding you by the way in which you are to go. <\/br><strong>18<\/strong> If only you had given ear to my orders, then your peace would have been like a river, and your righteousness as the waves of the sea: <\/br><strong>19<\/strong> Your seed would have been like the sand, and your offspring like the dust: your name would not be cut off or come to an end before me. <\/br><strong>20<\/strong> Go out of Babylon, go in flight from the Chaldaeans; with the sound of song make it clear, give the news, let the word go out even to the end of the earth: say, The Lord has taken up the cause of his servant Jacob. <\/br><strong>21<\/strong> They had no need of water when he was guiding them through the waste lands: he made water come out of the rock for them: the rock was parted and the waters came flowing out. <\/br><strong>22<\/strong> There is no peace, says the Lord, for the evil-doers. <\/br><script type=\"text\/javascript\">\n    google_ad_client = \"ca-pub-4647651612525789\";\n
