KJV ¹ Behold my servant, whom I uphold; mine elect, in whom my soul delighteth; I have put my spirit upon him: he shall bring forth judgment to the Gentiles.

VULC ¹ [Ecce servus meus, suscipiam eum ;
electus meus, complacuit sibi in illo anima mea :
dedi spiritum meum super eum :
judicium gentibus proferet.

KJV ² He shall not cry, nor lift up, nor cause his voice to be heard in the street.

VULC ² Non clamabit, neque accipiet personam,
nec audietur vox ejus foris.

KJV ³ A bruised reed shall he not break, and the smoking flax shall he not quench: he shall bring forth judgment unto truth.

VULC ³ Calamum quassatum non conteret,
et linum fumigans non extinguet :
in veritate educet judicium.

KJV ⁴ He shall not fail nor be discouraged, till he have set judgment in the earth: and the isles shall wait for his law.

VULC ⁴ Non erit tristis, neque turbulentus,
donec ponat in terra judicium ;
et legem ejus insulæ exspectabunt.

KJV ⁵ Thus saith God the LORD, he that created the heavens, and stretched them out; he that spread forth the earth, and that which cometh out of it; he that giveth breath unto the people upon it, and spirit to them that walk therein:

VULC ⁵ Hæc dicit Dominus Deus,
creans cælos, et extendens eos ;
firmans terram, et quæ germinant ex ea ;
dans flatum populo qui est super eam,
et spiritum calcantibus eam :

KJV ⁶ I the LORD have called thee in righteousness, and will hold thine hand, and will keep thee, and give thee for a covenant of the people, for a light of the Gentiles;

VULC ⁶ Ego Dominus vocavi te in justitia,
et apprehendi manum tuam,
et servavi te :
et dedi te in fœdus populi,
in lucem gentium,

KJV ⁷ To open the blind eyes, to bring out the prisoners from the prison, and them that sit in darkness out of the prison house.

VULC ⁷ ut aperires oculos cæcorum,
et educeres de conclusione vinctum,
de domo carceris sedentes in tenebris.

KJV ⁸ I am the LORD: that is my name: and my glory will I not give to another, neither my praise to graven images.

VULC ⁸ Ego Dominus,
hoc est nomen meum ;
gloriam meam alteri non dabo,
et laudem meam sculptilibus.

KJV ⁹ Behold, the former things are come to pass, and new things do I declare: before they spring forth I tell you of them.

VULC ⁹ Quæ prima fuerunt, ecce venerunt ;
nova quoque ego annuntio :
antequam oriantur,
audita vobis faciam.]

KJV ¹⁰ Sing unto the LORD a new song, and his praise from the end of the earth, ye that go down to the sea, and all that is therein; the isles, and the inhabitants thereof.

VULC ¹⁰ [Cantate Domino canticum novum,
laus ejus ab extremis terræ,
qui descenditis in mare, et plenitudo ejus ;
insulæ, et habitatores earum.

KJV ¹¹ Let the wilderness and the cities thereof lift up their voice, the villages that Kedar doth inhabit: let the inhabitants of the rock sing, let them shout from the top of the mountains.

VULC ¹¹ Sublevetur desertum et civitates ejus.
In domibus habitabit Cedar :
laudate, habitatores petræ ;
de vertice montium clamabunt.

KJV ¹² Let them give glory unto the LORD, and declare his praise in the islands.

VULC ¹² Ponent Domino gloriam,
et laudem ejus in insulis nuntiabunt.

KJV ¹³ The LORD shall go forth as a mighty man, he shall stir up jealousy like a man of war: he shall cry, yea, roar; he shall prevail against his enemies.

VULC ¹³ Dominus sicut fortis egredietur,
sicut vir præliator suscitabit zelum ;
vociferabitur, et clamabit :
super inimicos suos confortabitur.]

KJV ¹⁴ I have long time holden my peace; I have been still, and refrained myself: now will I cry like a travailing woman; I will destroy and devour at once.

VULC ¹⁴ [Tacui semper,
silui, patiens fui :
sicut parturiens loquar ;
dissipabo, et absorbebo simul.

KJV ¹⁵ I will make waste mountains and hills, and dry up all their herbs; and I will make the rivers islands, and I will dry up the pools.

VULC ¹⁵ Desertos faciam montes et colles,
et omne gramen eorum exsiccabo ;
et ponam flumina in insulas,
et stagna arefaciam.

KJV ¹⁶ And I will bring the blind by a way that they knew not; I will lead them in paths that they have not known: I will make darkness light before them, and crooked things straight. These things will I do unto them, and not forsake them.

VULC ¹⁶ Et ducam cæcos in viam quam nesciunt,
et in semitis quas ignoraverunt ambulare eos faciam ;
ponam tenebras coram eis in lucem,
et prava in recta ;
hæc verba feci eis,
et non dereliqui eos.

KJV ¹⁷ They shall be turned back, they shall be greatly ashamed, that trust in graven images, that say to the molten images, Ye are our gods.

VULC ¹⁷ Conversi sunt retrorsum, confundantur confusione,
qui confidunt in sculptili ;
qui dicunt conflatili :
Vos dii nostri.

KJV ¹⁸ Hear, ye deaf; and look, ye blind, that ye may see.

VULC ¹⁸ Surdi, audite,
et cæci, intuemini ad videndum.

KJV ¹⁹ Who is blind, but my servant? or deaf, as my messenger that I sent? who is blind as he that is perfect, and blind as the LORD's servant?

VULC ¹⁹ Quis cæcus, nisi servus meus ;
et surdus, nisi ad quem nuntios meos misi ?
quis cæcus, nisi qui venundatus est ?
et quis cæcus, nisi servus Domini ?

KJV ²⁰ Seeing many things, but thou observest not; opening the ears, but he heareth not.

VULC ²⁰ Qui vides multa, nonne custodies ?
qui apertas habes aures, nonne audies ?

KJV ²¹ The LORD is well pleased for his righteousness' sake; he will magnify the law, and make it honourable.

VULC ²¹ Et Dominus voluit ut sanctificaret eum,
et magnificaret legem, et extolleret.

KJV ²² But this is a people robbed and spoiled; they are all of them snared in holes, and they are hid in prison houses: they are for a prey, and none delivereth; for a spoil, and none saith, Restore.

VULC ²² Ipse autem populus direptus, et vastatus ;
laqueus juvenum omnes,
et in domibus carcerum absconditi sunt ;
facti sunt in rapinam, nec est qui eruat ;
in direptionem, nec est qui dicat : Redde.

KJV ²³ Who among you will give ear to this? who will hearken and hear for the time to come?

VULC ²³ Quis est in vobis qui audiat hoc,
attendat, et auscultet futura ?

KJV ²⁴ Who gave Jacob for a spoil, and Israel to the robbers? did not the LORD, he against whom we have sinned? for they would not walk in his ways, neither were they obedient unto his law.

VULC ²⁴ Quis dedit in direptionem Jacob,
et Israël vastantibus ?
nonne Dominus ipse, cui peccavimus ?
Et noluerunt in viis ejus ambulare,
et non audierunt legem ejus.

KJV ²⁵ Therefore he hath poured upon him the fury of his anger, and the strength of battle: and it hath set him on fire round about, yet he knew not; and it burned him, yet he laid it not to heart.

VULC ²⁵ Et effudit super eum indignationem furoris sui,
et forte bellum ;
et combussit eum in circuitu, et non cognovit ;
et succendit eum, et non intellexit.]
