KJV ¹ Hear ye this, O house of Jacob, which are called by the name of Israel, and are come forth out of the waters of Judah, which swear by the name of the LORD, and make mention of the God of Israel, but not in truth, nor in righteousness.

VULC ¹ [Audite hæc, domus Jacob,
qui vocamini nomine Israël,
et de aquis Juda existis ;
qui juratis in nomine Domini,
et Dei Israël recordamini
non in veritate neque in justitia.

KJV ² For they call themselves of the holy city, and stay themselves upon the God of Israel; The LORD of hosts is his name.

VULC ² De civitate enim sancta vocati sunt,
et super Deum Israël constabiliti sunt :
Dominus exercituum nomen ejus.

KJV ³ I have declared the former things from the beginning; and they went forth out of my mouth, and I shewed them; I did them suddenly, and they came to pass.

VULC ³ Priora ex tunc annuntiavi,
et ex ore meo exierunt, et audita feci ea :
repente operatus sum, et venerunt.

KJV ⁴ Because I knew that thou art obstinate, and thy neck is an iron sinew, and thy brow brass;

VULC ⁴ Scivi enim quia durus es tu,
et nervus ferreus cervix tua,
et frons tua ærea.

KJV ⁵ I have even from the beginning declared it to thee; before it came to pass I shewed it thee: lest thou shouldest say, Mine idol hath done them, and my graven image, and my molten image, hath commanded them.

VULC ⁵ Prædixi tibi ex tunc ;
antequam venirent, indicavi tibi,
ne forte diceres : Idola mea fecerunt hæc,
et sculptilia mea et conflatilia mandaverunt ista.

KJV ⁶ Thou hast heard, see all this; and will not ye declare it? I have shewed thee new things from this time, even hidden things, and thou didst not know them.

VULC ⁶ Quæ audisti, vide omnia ;
vos autem, num annuntiastis ?
Audita feci tibi nova ex tunc,
et conservata sunt quæ nescis.

KJV ⁷ They are created now, and not from the beginning; even before the day when thou heardest them not; lest thou shouldest say, Behold, I knew them.

VULC ⁷ Nunc creata sunt et non ex tunc ;
et ante diem, et non audisti ea,
ne forte dicas : Ecce ego cognovi ea.

KJV ⁸ Yea, thou heardest not; yea, thou knewest not; yea, from that time that thine ear was not opened: for I knew that thou wouldest deal very treacherously, and wast called a transgressor from the womb.

VULC ⁸ Neque audisti, neque cognovisti,
neque ex tunc aperta est auris tua :
scio enim quia prævaricans prævaricaberis,
et transgressorem ex utero vocavi te.

KJV ⁹ For my name's sake will I defer mine anger, and for my praise will I refrain for thee, that I cut thee not off.

VULC ⁹ Propter nomen meum longe faciam furorem meum,
et laude mea infrenabo te,
ne intereas.

KJV ¹⁰ Behold, I have refined thee, but not with silver; I have chosen thee in the furnace of affliction.

VULC ¹⁰ Ecce excoxi te, sed non quasi argentum ;
elegi te in camino paupertatis.

KJV ¹¹ For mine own sake, even for mine own sake, will I do it: for how should my name be polluted? and I will not give my glory unto another.

VULC ¹¹ Propter me, propter me faciam,
ut non blasphemer ;
et gloriam meam alteri non dabo.

KJV ¹² Hearken unto me, O Jacob and Israel, my called; I am he; I am the first, I also am the last.

VULC ¹² Audi me, Jacob,
et Israël, quem ego voco :
ego ipse, ego primus,
et ego novissimus.

KJV ¹³ Mine hand also hath laid the foundation of the earth, and my right hand hath spanned the heavens: when I call unto them, they stand up together.

VULC ¹³ Manus quoque mea fundavit terram,
et dextera mea mensa est cælos ;
ego vocabo eos,
et stabunt simul.

KJV ¹⁴ All ye, assemble yourselves, and hear; which among them hath declared these things? The LORD hath loved him: he will do his pleasure on Babylon, and his arm shall be on the Chaldeans.

VULC ¹⁴ Congregamini, omnes vos, et audite :
quis de eis annuntiavit hæc ?
Dominus dilexit eum, faciet voluntatem suam in Babylone,
et brachium suum in Chaldæis.

KJV ¹⁵ I, even I, have spoken; yea, I have called him: I have brought him, and he shall make his way prosperous.

VULC ¹⁵ Ego, ego locutus sum, et vocavi eum ;
adduxi eum, et directa est via ejus.

KJV ¹⁶ Come ye near unto me, hear ye this; I have not spoken in secret from the beginning; from the time that it was, there am I: and now the Lord GOD, and his Spirit, hath sent me.

VULC ¹⁶ Accedite ad me et audite hoc :
non a principio in abscondito locutus sum :
ex tempore antequam fieret, ibi eram :
et nunc Dominus Deus misit me,
et spiritus ejus.

KJV ¹⁷ Thus saith the LORD, thy Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel; I am the LORD thy God which teacheth thee to profit, which leadeth thee by the way that thou shouldest go.

VULC ¹⁷ Hæc dicit Dominus, redemptor tuus,
Sanctus Israël :
Ego Dominus Deus tuus,
docens te utilia,
gubernans te in via qua ambulas.

KJV ¹⁸ O that thou hadst hearkened to my commandments! then had thy peace been as a river, and thy righteousness as the waves of the sea:

VULC ¹⁸ Utinam attendisses mandata mea :
facta fuisset sicut flumen pax tua,
et justitia tua sicut gurgites maris :

KJV ¹⁹ Thy seed also had been as the sand, and the offspring of thy bowels like the gravel thereof; his name should not have been cut off nor destroyed from before me.

VULC ¹⁹ et fuisset quasi arena semen tuum,
et stirps uteri tui ut lapilli ejus ;
non interisset et non fuisset attritum
nomen ejus a facie mea.

KJV ²⁰ Go ye forth of Babylon, flee ye from the Chaldeans, with a voice of singing declare ye, tell this, utter it even to the end of the earth; say ye, The LORD hath redeemed his servant Jacob.

VULC ²⁰ Egredimini de Babylone, fugite a Chaldæis,
in voce exsultationis annuntiate :
auditum facite hoc,
et efferte illud usque ad extrema terræ.
Dicite : Redemit Dominus
servum suum Jacob.

KJV ²¹ And they thirsted not when he led them through the deserts: he caused the waters to flow out of the rock for them: he clave the rock also, and the waters gushed out.

VULC ²¹ Non sitierunt in deserto, cum educeret eos :
aquam de petra produxit eis,
et scidit petram, et fluxerunt aquæ.

KJV ²² There is no peace, saith the LORD, unto the wicked.

VULC ²² Non est pax impiis, dicit Dominus.]
