KJV 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.

VULC ¹ [Taceant ad me insulæ,
et gentes mutent fortitudinem :
accedant, et tunc loquantur ;
simul ad judicium propinquemus.

KJV 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.

VULC ² Quis suscitavit ab oriente Justum,
vocavit eum ut sequeretur se ?
Dabit in conspectu ejus gentes,
et reges obtinebit :
dabit quasi pulverem gladio ejus,
sicut stipulam vento raptam arcui ejus.

KJV ³ He pursued them, and passed safely; even by the way that he had not gone with his feet.

VULC ³ Persequetur eos, transibit in pace :
semita in pedibus ejus non apparebit.

KJV ⁴ Who hath wrought and done it, calling the generations from the beginning? I the LORD, the first, and with the last; I am he.

VULC ⁴ Quis hæc operatus est, et fecit,
vocans generationes ab exordio ?
Ego Dominus :
primus et novissimus ego sum.

KJV ⁵ The isles saw it, and feared; the ends of the earth were afraid, drew near, and came.

VULC ⁵ Viderunt insulæ, et timuerunt ;
extrema terræ obstupuerunt :
appropinquaverunt, et accesserunt.

KJV ⁶ They helped every one his neighbour; and every one said to his brother, Be of good courage.

VULC ⁶ Unusquisque proximo suo auxiliabitur,
et fratri suo dicet : Confortare.

KJV 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 sodering: and he fastened it with nails, that it should not be moved.

VULC ⁷ Confortavit faber ærarius
percutiens malleo
eum, qui cudebat tunc temporis,
dicens : Glutino bonum est ;
et confortavit eum clavis, ut non moveretur.]

KJV ⁸ But thou, Israel, art my servant, Jacob whom I have chosen, the seed of Abraham my friend.

VULC ⁸ [Et tu, Israël, serve meus,
Jacob quem elegi,
semen Abraham amici mei :

KJV ⁹ 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.

VULC ⁹ in quo apprehendi te ab extremis terræ,
et a longinquis ejus vocavi te,
et dixi tibi : Servus meus es tu :
elegi te, et non abjeci te.

KJV 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.

VULC ¹⁰ Ne timeas, quia ego tecum sum ;
ne declines, quia ego Deus tuus :
confortavi te, et auxiliatus sum tibi,
et suscepit te dextera Justi mei.

KJV 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.

VULC ¹¹ Ecce confundentur et erubescent
omnes qui pugnant adversum te ;
erunt quasi non sint, et peribunt
viri qui contradicunt tibi.

KJV 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.

VULC ¹² Quæres eos, et non invenies,
viros rebelles tuos ;
erunt quasi non sint, et veluti consumptio
homines bellantes adversum te.

KJV ¹³ For I the LORD thy God will hold thy right hand, saying unto thee, Fear not; I will help thee.

VULC ¹³ Quia ego Dominus Deus tuus,
apprehendens manum tuam,
dicensque tibi : Ne timeas :
ego adjuvi te.

KJV ¹⁴ Fear not, thou worm Jacob, and ye men of Israel; I will help thee, saith the LORD, and thy redeemer, the Holy One of Israel.

VULC ¹⁴ Noli timere, vermis Jacob,
qui mortui estis ex Israël :
ego auxiliatus sum tibi, dicit Dominus,
et redemptor tuus Sanctus Israël.

KJV 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.

VULC ¹⁵ Ego posui te quasi plaustrum triturans novum,
habens rostra serrantia ;
triturabis montes, et comminues,
et colles quasi pulverem pones.

KJV ¹⁶ Thou shalt fan them, and the wind shall carry them away, and the whirlwind shall scatter them: and thou shalt rejoice in the LORD, and shalt glory in the Holy One of Israel.

VULC ¹⁶ Ventilabis eos, et ventus tollet,
et turbo disperget eos ;
et tu exsultabis in Domino,
in Sancto Israël lætaberis.

KJV ¹⁷ When the poor and needy seek water, and there is none, and their tongue faileth for thirst, I the LORD will hear them, I the God of Israel will not forsake them.

VULC ¹⁷ Egeni et pauperes
quærunt aquas, et non sunt ;
lingua eorum siti aruit.
Ego Dominus exaudiam eos,
Deus Israël, non derelinquam eos.

KJV ¹⁸ I will open rivers in high places, and fountains in the midst of the valleys: I will make the wilderness a pool of water, and the dry land springs of water.

VULC ¹⁸ Aperiam in supinis collibus flumina,
et in medio camporum fontes :
ponam desertum in stagna aquarum,
et terram inviam in rivos aquarum.

KJV ¹⁹ I will plant in the wilderness the cedar, the shittah tree, and the myrtle, and the oil tree; I will set in the desert the fir tree, and the pine, and the box tree together:

VULC ¹⁹ Dabo in solitudinem cedrum,
et spinam, et myrtum, et lignum olivæ ;
ponam in deserto abietem,
ulmum, et buxum simul :

KJV ²⁰ That they may see, and know, and consider, and understand together, that the hand of the LORD hath done this, and the Holy One of Israel hath created it.

VULC ²⁰ ut videant, et sciant,
et recogitent, et intelligant pariter,
quia manus Domini fecit hoc,
et Sanctus Israël creavit illud.

KJV ²¹ Produce your cause, saith the LORD; bring forth your strong reasons, saith the King of Jacob.

VULC ²¹ Prope facite judicium vestrum,
dicit Dominus ;
Afferte, si quid forte habetis,
dicit rex Jacob.

KJV ²² Let them bring them forth, and shew us what shall happen: let them shew the former things, what they be, that we may consider them, and know the latter end of them; or declare us things for to come.

VULC ²² Accedant, et nuntient nobis
quæcumque ventura sunt ;
priora quæ fuerunt, nuntiate,
et ponemus cor nostrum,
et sciemus novissima eorum ;
et quæ ventura sunt, indicate nobis.

KJV ²³ Shew the things that are to come hereafter, that we may know that ye are gods: yea, do good, or do evil, that we may be dismayed, and behold it together.

VULC ²³ Annuntiate quæ ventura sunt in futurum,
et sciemus quia dii estis vos ;
bene quoque aut male, si potestis, facite,
et loquamur et videamus simul.

KJV ²⁴ Behold, ye are of nothing, and your work of nought: an abomination is he that chooseth you.

VULC ²⁴ Ecce vos estis ex nihilo,
et opus vestrum ex eo quod non est :
abominatio est qui elegit vos.

KJV ²⁵ I have raised up one from the north, and he shall come: from the rising of the sun shall he call upon my name: and he shall come upon princes as upon morter, and as the potter treadeth clay.

VULC ²⁵ Suscitavi ab aquilone, et veniet ab ortu solis :
vocabit nomen meum,
et adducet magistratus quasi lutum,
et velut plastes conculcans humum.

KJV ²⁶ Who hath declared from the beginning, that we may know? and beforetime, that we may say, He is righteous? yea, there is none that sheweth, yea, there is none that declareth, yea, there is none that heareth your words.

VULC ²⁶ Quis annuntiavit ab exordio ut sciamus,
et a principio ut dicamus : Justus es ?
Non est neque annuntians, neque prædicens,
neque audiens sermones vestros.

KJV ²⁷ The first shall say to Zion, Behold, behold them: and I will give to Jerusalem one that bringeth good tidings.

VULC ²⁷ Primus ad Sion dicet : Ecce adsunt,
et Jerusalem evangelistam dabo.

KJV ²⁸ For I beheld, and there was no man; even among them, and there was no counsellor, that, when I asked of them, could answer a word.

VULC ²⁸ Et vidi,
et non erat neque ex istis quisquam
qui iniret consilium,
et interrogatus responderet verbum.

KJV ²⁹ Behold, they are all vanity; their works are nothing: their molten images are wind and confusion.

VULC ²⁹ Ecce omnes injusti,
et vana opera eorum ;
ventus et inane simulacra eorum.]
