Rh :And the Holy One of Israel is thy Redeemer,
 * The God of the whole earth shall He be called.
 * For the hath called thee
 * As a wife forsaken and grieved in spirit;
 * And a wife of youth, can she be rejected?
 * Saith thy God.
 * For a small moment have I forsaken thee;
 * But with great compassion will I gather thee.
 * In a little wrath I hid My face from thee for a moment;
 * But with everlasting kindness will I have compassion on thee,
 * Saith the thy Redeemer.
 * For this is as the waters of Noah unto Me;
 * For as I have sworn that the waters of Noah
 * Should no more go over the earth,
 * So have I sworn that I would not be wroth with thee,
 * Nor rebuke thee.
 * For the mountains may depart,
 * And the hills be removed;
 * But My kindness shall not depart from thee,
 * Neither shall My covenant of peace be removed,
 * Saith the that hath compassion on thee.


 * O thou afflicted, tossed with tempest,
 * And not comforted,
 * Behold, I will set thy stones in fair colours,
 * And lay thy foundations with sapphires.
 * And I will make thy pinnacles of rubies,
 * And thy gates of carbuncles,
 * And all thy border of precious stones.
 * And all thy children shall be taught of the ;
 * And great shall be the peace of thy children.
 * In righteousness shalt thou be established;
 * Be thou far from oppression, for thou shalt not fear,
 * And from ruin, for it shall not come near thee.
 * Behold, they may gather together, but not by Me;
 * Whosoever shall gather together against thee shall fall because of thee.
 * Behold, I have created the smith
 * That bloweth the fire of coals,
 * And bringeth forth a weapon for his work;
 * And I have created the waster to destroy.
 * No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper;
 * And every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn.
 * This is the heritage of the servants of the ,
 * And their due reward from Me, saith the.


 * Ho, every one that thirsteth, come ye for water,
 * And he that hath no money;
 * Come ye, buy, and eat;
 * Yea, come, buy wine and milk
 * Without money and without price.
 * Wherefore do ye spend money for that which is not bread?
 * And your gain for that which satisfieth not?
 * Hearken diligently unto Me, and eat ye that which is good,
 * And let your soul delight itself in fatness.
 * Incline your ear, and come unto Me;
 * Hear, and your soul shall live;
