Isaiah - Chapter 40

Isa 40:1	¶	Comfort ⁵¹⁶² ye, comfort ⁵¹⁶² ye my people ⁵⁹⁷¹, saith ⁵⁵⁹ your God ⁴³⁰.
Isa 40:2		Speak ¹⁶⁹⁶ ye comfortably ³⁸²⁰ to Jerusalem ³³⁸⁹, and cry ⁷¹²¹ unto her, that her warfare ⁶⁶³⁵ is accomplished ⁴³⁹⁰ , that her iniquity ⁵⁷⁷¹ is pardoned ⁷⁵²¹ : for she hath received ³⁹⁴⁷ of the LORD'S ³⁰⁶⁸ hand ³⁰²⁷ double ³⁷¹⁸ for all her sins ²⁴⁰³.
Isa 40:3	¶	The voice ⁶⁹⁶³ of him that crieth ⁷¹²¹ in the wilderness ⁴⁰⁵⁷, Prepare ⁶⁴³⁷ ye the way ¹⁸⁷⁰ of the LORD ³⁰⁶⁸, make straight ³⁴⁷⁴ in the desert ⁶¹⁶⁰ a highway ⁴⁵⁴⁶ for our God ⁴³⁰.
Isa 40:4		Every valley ¹⁵¹⁶ shall be exalted ⁵³⁷⁵ , and every mountain ²⁰²² and hill ¹³⁸⁹ shall be made low ⁸²¹³ : and the crooked ⁶¹²¹ shall be made straight ⁴³³⁴, and the rough places ⁷⁴⁰⁶ plain ¹²³⁷:
Isa 40:5		And the glory ³⁵¹⁹ of the LORD ³⁰⁶⁸ shall be revealed ¹⁵⁴⁰ , and all flesh ¹³²⁰ shall see ⁷²⁰⁰ [it] together ³¹⁶²: for the mouth ⁶³¹⁰ of the LORD ³⁰⁶⁸ hath spoken ¹⁶⁹⁶ [it].
Isa 40:6	¶	The voice ⁶⁹⁶³ said ⁵⁵⁹ , Cry ⁷¹²¹ . And he said ⁵⁵⁹ , What shall I cry ⁷¹²¹ ? All flesh ¹³²⁰ [is] grass ²⁶⁸², and all the goodliness ²⁶¹⁷ thereof [is] as the flower ⁶⁷³¹ of the field ⁷⁷⁰⁴:
Isa 40:7		The grass ²⁶⁸² withereth ³⁰⁰¹ , the flower ⁶⁷³¹ fadeth ⁵⁰³⁴ : because the spirit ⁷³⁰⁷ of the LORD ³⁰⁶⁸ bloweth ⁵³⁸⁰ upon it: surely ⁴⁰³ the people ⁵⁹⁷¹ [is] grass ²⁶⁸².
Isa 40:8		The grass ²⁶⁸² withereth ³⁰⁰¹ , the flower ⁶⁷³¹ fadeth ⁵⁰³⁴ : but the word ¹⁶⁹⁷ of our God ⁴³⁰ shall stand ⁶⁹⁶⁵ for ever ⁵⁷⁶⁹.
Isa 40:9	¶	O Zion ⁶⁷²⁶, that bringest good tidings ¹³¹⁹ , get thee up ⁵⁹²⁷ into the high ¹³⁶⁴ mountain ²⁰²²; O Jerusalem ³³⁸⁹, that bringest good tidings ¹³¹⁹ , lift up ⁷³¹¹ thy voice ⁶⁹⁶³ with strength ³⁵⁸¹; lift [it] up ⁷³¹¹ , be not afraid ³³⁷² ; say ⁵⁵⁹ unto the cities ⁵⁸⁹² of Judah ³⁰⁶³, Behold your God ⁴³⁰!
Isa 40:10		Behold, the Lord ¹³⁶ GOD ³⁰⁶⁹ will come ⁹³⁵ with strong ²³⁸⁹ [hand], and his arm ²²²⁰ shall rule ⁴⁹¹⁰ for him: behold, his reward ⁷⁹³⁹ [is] with him, and his work ⁶⁴⁶⁸ before ⁶⁴⁴⁰ him.
Isa 40:11		He shall feed ⁷⁴⁶² his flock ⁵⁷³⁹ like a shepherd ⁷⁴⁶² : he shall gather ⁶⁹⁰⁸ the lambs ²⁹²² with his arm ²²²⁰, and carry ⁵³⁷⁵ [them] in his bosom ²⁴³⁶, [and] shall gently lead ⁵⁰⁹⁵ those that are with young ⁵⁷⁶³ .
Isa 40:12	¶	Who hath measured ⁴⁰⁵⁸ the waters ⁴³²⁵ in the hollow of his hand ⁸¹⁶⁸, and meted out ⁸⁵⁰⁵ heaven ⁸⁰⁶⁴ with the span ²²³⁹, and comprehended ³⁵⁵⁷ the dust ⁶⁰⁸³ of the earth ⁷⁷⁶ in a measure ⁷⁹⁹¹, and weighed ⁸²⁵⁴ the mountains ²⁰²² in scales ⁶⁴²⁵, and the hills ¹³⁸⁹ in a balance ³⁹⁷⁶?
Isa 40:13		Who hath directed ⁸⁵⁰⁵ the Spirit ⁷³⁰⁷ of the LORD ³⁰⁶⁸, or [being] his counsellor ³⁷⁶ ⁶⁰⁹⁸ hath taught ³⁰⁴⁵ him?
Isa 40:14		With whom took he counsel ³²⁸⁹ , and [who] instructed ⁹⁹⁵ him, and taught ³⁹²⁵ him in the path ⁷³⁴ of judgment ⁴⁹⁴¹, and taught ³⁹²⁵ him knowledge ¹⁸⁴⁷, and shewed ³⁰⁴⁵ to him the way ¹⁸⁷⁰ of understanding ⁸³⁹⁴?
Isa 40:15		Behold, the nations ¹⁴⁷¹ [are] as a drop ⁴⁷⁵² of a bucket ¹⁸⁰⁵, and are counted ²⁸⁰³ as the small dust ⁷⁸³⁴ of the balance ³⁹⁷⁶: behold, he taketh up ⁵¹⁹⁰ the isles ³³⁹ as a very little thing ¹⁸⁵¹.
Isa 40:16		And Lebanon ³⁸⁴⁴ [is] not ³⁶⁹ sufficient ¹⁷⁶⁷ to burn ¹¹⁹⁷ , nor the beasts ²⁴¹⁶ thereof sufficient ¹⁷⁶⁷ for a burnt offering ⁵⁹³⁰.
Isa 40:17		All nations ¹⁴⁷¹ before him [are] as nothing; and they are counted ²⁸⁰³ to him less than nothing ⁶⁵⁷, and vanity ⁸⁴¹⁴.
Isa 40:18	¶	To whom then will ye liken ¹⁸¹⁹ God ⁴¹⁰? or what likeness ¹⁸²³ will ye compare ⁶¹⁸⁶ unto him?
Isa 40:19		The workman ²⁷⁹⁶ melteth ⁵²⁵⁸ a graven image ⁶⁴⁵⁹, and the goldsmith ⁶⁸⁸⁴ spreadeth ⁷⁵⁵⁴ it over with gold ²⁰⁹¹, and casteth ⁶⁸⁸⁴ silver ³⁷⁰¹ chains ⁷⁵⁷⁷.
Isa 40:20		He that [is] so impoverished ⁵⁵³³ ⁵⁵³⁴ that he hath no oblation ⁸⁶⁴¹ chooseth ⁹⁷⁷ a tree ⁶⁰⁸⁶ [that] will not rot ⁷⁵³⁷ ; he seeketh ¹²⁴⁵ unto him a cunning ²⁴⁵⁰ workman ²⁷⁹⁶ to prepare ³⁵⁵⁹ a graven image ⁶⁴⁵⁹, [that] shall not be moved ⁴¹³¹ .
Isa 40:21	¶	Have ye not known ³⁰⁴⁵ ? have ye not heard ⁸⁰⁸⁵ ? hath it not been told ⁵⁰⁴⁶ you from the beginning ⁷²¹⁸? have ye not understood ⁹⁹⁵ from the foundations ⁴¹⁴⁶ of the earth ⁷⁷⁶?
Isa 40:22		[It is] he that sitteth ³⁴²⁷ upon the circle ²³²⁹ of the earth ⁷⁷⁶, and the inhabitants ³⁴²⁷ thereof [are] as grasshoppers ²²⁸⁴; that stretcheth out ⁵¹⁸⁶ the heavens ⁸⁰⁶⁴ as a curtain ¹⁸⁵², and spreadeth them out ⁴⁹⁶⁹ as a tent ¹⁶⁸ to dwell in ³⁴²⁷ :
Isa 40:23		That bringeth ⁵⁴¹⁴ the princes ⁷³³⁶ to nothing; he maketh ⁶²¹³ the judges ⁸¹⁹⁹ of the earth ⁷⁷⁶ as vanity ⁸⁴¹⁴.
Isa 40:24		Yea, they shall not be planted ⁵¹⁹³ ; yea, they shall not be sown ²²³² : yea, their stock ¹⁵⁰³ shall not take root ⁸³²⁷ in the earth ⁷⁷⁶: and he shall also blow ⁵³⁹⁸ upon them, and they shall wither ³⁰⁰¹ , and the whirlwind ⁵⁵⁹¹ shall take ⁵³⁷⁵ them away as stubble ⁷¹⁷⁹.
Isa 40:25	¶	To whom then will ye liken ¹⁸¹⁹ me, or shall I be equal ⁷⁷³⁷ ? saith ⁵⁵⁹ the Holy One ⁶⁹¹⁸.
Isa 40:26		Lift up ⁵³⁷⁵ your eyes ⁵⁸⁶⁹ on high ⁴⁷⁹¹, and behold ⁷²⁰⁰ who hath created ¹²⁵⁴ these [things], that bringeth out ³³¹⁸ their host ⁶⁶³⁵ by number ⁴⁵⁵⁷: he calleth ⁷¹²¹ them all by names ⁸⁰³⁴ by the greatness ⁷²³⁰ of his might ²⁰², for that [he is] strong ⁵³³ in power ³⁵⁸¹; not one ³⁷⁶ faileth ⁵⁷³⁷ .
Isa 40:27	¶	Why sayest ⁵⁵⁹ thou, O Jacob ³²⁹⁰, and speakest ¹⁶⁹⁶ , O Israel ³⁴⁷⁸, My way ¹⁸⁷⁰ is hid ⁵⁶⁴¹ from the LORD ³⁰⁶⁸, and my judgment ⁴⁹⁴¹ is passed over ⁵⁶⁷⁴ from my God ⁴³⁰?
Isa 40:28		Hast thou not known ³⁰⁴⁵ ? hast thou not heard ⁸⁰⁸⁵ , [that] the everlasting ⁵⁷⁶⁹ God ⁴³⁰, the LORD ³⁰⁶⁸, the Creator ¹²⁵⁴ of the ends ⁷⁰⁹⁸ of the earth ⁷⁷⁶, fainteth ³²⁸⁶ not, neither is weary ³⁰²¹ ? [there is] no searching ²⁷¹⁴ of his understanding ⁸³⁹⁴.
Isa 40:29		He giveth ⁵⁴¹⁴ power ³⁵⁸¹ to the faint ³²⁸⁷; and to [them that have] no might ²⁰² he increaseth ⁷²³⁵ strength ⁶¹⁰⁹.
Isa 40:30		Even the youths ⁵²⁸⁸ shall faint ³²⁸⁶ and be weary ³⁰²¹ , and the young men ⁹⁷⁰ shall utterly ³⁷⁸² fall ³⁷⁸² :
Isa 40:31		But they that wait ⁶⁹⁶⁰ upon the LORD ³⁰⁶⁸ shall renew ²⁴⁹⁸ [their] strength ³⁵⁸¹; they shall mount up ⁵⁹²⁷ with wings ⁸³ as eagles ⁵⁴⁰⁴; they shall run ⁷³²³ , and not be weary ³⁰²¹ ; [and] they shall walk ³²¹² , and not faint ³²⁸⁶ .
