1 你们的 神说： "你们要安慰， 要安慰我的子民！
2 你们要向耶路撒冷说慈爱的话， 又要向它宣告： 他们的苦难已经满足了， 他们的罪孽已经还清了， 他们因着自己的一切罪， 已经从耶和华的手里受到过重的刑罚。"
3 有声音呼喊说： "你们要在旷野清理耶和华的路， 在沙漠修直我们 神的大道。
4 一切深谷都要填满， 一切山冈都要削平； 险峻的要改为平地， 崎岖的要改为平原。
5 耶和华的荣耀必要显现， 所有的人都必一同看见， 因为这是耶和华亲口说的。"
6 有声音说： "你呼喊吧！ "他问： "我呼喊什么呢？""所有的人尽都如草； 他们的荣美都像野地的花。
7 草必枯干， 花必凋谢； 因为耶和华的气吹在上面； 真的， 这民的确是草！
8 草必枯干， 花必凋谢， 唯有我们 神的道永远长存。"
9 报好信息给锡安的啊！ 你要登上高山。报好信息给耶路撒冷的啊！ 你要极力扬声。要扬声， 不要惧怕！ 要对犹大的众城说： "看哪， 你们的 神！ "
10 看哪！ 主耶和华必像大能者临到， 他的膀臂要为他掌权； 看哪！ 他给予人的赏赐在他那里， 他施予人的报应在他面前。
11 他必像牧人牧养自己的羊群， 像用膀臂聚集羊羔， 抱在自己的怀中， 慢慢引导乳养小羊的。
12 谁曾用掌心量过海水， 用手掌测过苍天呢？谁曾用升斗量过大地的尘土， 用秤称山岭， 用天平称冈陵呢？
13 谁曾测度耶和华的灵， 或作过他的谋士教导他呢？
14 他与谁商议， 谁使他有聪明？谁把正确的路指教他， 把知识指教他， 又把明智的路教导他呢？
15 看哪！ 万国都像水桶里的一滴， 又被看作天平上的微尘。看哪！ 他举起众海岛， 好像微细之物。
16 黎巴嫩的树林不够当柴烧， 其中的走兽也不够作燔祭。
17 万国在他跟前好像不存在， 在他看来， 只是乌有和虚空。
18 你们把谁来跟 神相比呢？你们用什么形象来与 神并列呢？
19 至于偶像， 是匠人铸造的， 铸匠用金子把它包裹， 用银子为它做银链。
20 贫穷献不起这供物的， 就拣选不朽坏的树木， 为自己寻找巧匠， 立起不会动摇的偶像。
21 你们不曾知道吗？你们不曾听见吗？不是从起初就已经告诉过你们吗？自从大地的根基立了以来， 你们还不曾明白吗？
22 神坐在大地的圆穹之上， 地上的居民好像蚱蜢， 他铺张诸天如铺张幔子， 展开众天像展开可以居住的帐棚。
23 他使诸侯都归于无有， 使地上的审判官成为虚空。
24 他们才刚刚栽上， 刚刚种上， 他们的树头刚刚在地里扎根， 他一吹在其上， 他们就枯干了， 旋风把他们像碎秸一样吹去。
25 那圣者说： "你们把谁来跟我相比， 使他与我相等呢？"
26 你们向天举目吧！ 看是谁创造了这些万象？是谁按着数目把万象领出来， 一一指名呼唤？因他的大能大力， 连一个也不缺少。
27 雅各啊！ 你为什么这样说； 以色列啊！ 你为什么埋怨说： "我的道路向耶和华隐藏， 我的案件被我的 神忽略了"？
28 你不知道吗？你没有听过吗？永在的 神、耶和华、地极的创造主既不疲乏， 也不困倦； 他的知识无法测度。
29 疲乏的， 他赐气力， 无力的， 他加力量。
30 就是年轻人也会疲乏困倦， 强壮的人也会全然跌倒。
31 但那些仰望耶和华的人， 必重新得力； 他们必像鹰一样展翅上腾； 他们奔跑， 也不困倦， 他们行走， 也不疲乏。
1 Comfort ye, comfort ye my people, saith your God. 2 Speak ye comfortably to Jerusalem; and cry unto her, that her warfare is accomplished, that her iniquity is pardoned, that she hath received of Jehovah’s hand double for all her sins.
3 The voice of one that crieth, Prepare ye in the wilderness the way of Jehovah; make level in the desert a highway for our God. 4 Every valley shall be exalted, and every mountain and hill shall be made low; and the uneven shall be made level, and the rough places a plain: 5 and the glory of Jehovah shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together; for the mouth of Jehovah hath spoken it.
6 The voice of one saying, Cry. And one said, What shall I cry? All flesh is grass, and all the goodliness thereof is as the flower of the field. 7 The grass withereth, the flower fadeth, because the breath of Jehovah bloweth upon it; surely the people is grass. 8 The grass withereth, the flower fadeth; but the word of our God shall stand forever.
9 O thou that tellest good tidings to Zion, get thee up on a high mountain; O thou that tellest good tidings to Jerusalem, lift up thy voice with strength; lift it up, be not afraid; say unto the cities of Judah, Behold, your God! 10 Behold, the Lord Jehovah will come as a mighty one, and his arm will rule for him: Behold, his reward is with him, and his recompense before him. 11 He will feed his flock like a shepherd, he will gather the lambs in his arm, and carry them in his bosom, and will gently lead those that have their young.
12 Who hath measured the waters in the hollow of his hand, and meted out heaven with the span, and comprehended the dust of the earth in a measure, and weighed the mountains in scales, and the hills in a balance? 13 Who hath directed the Spirit of Jehovah, or being his counsellor hath taught him? 14 With whom took he counsel, and who instructed him, and taught him in the path of justice, and taught him knowledge, and showed to him the way of understanding? 15 Behold, the nations are as a drop of a bucket, and are accounted as the small dust of the balance: behold, he taketh up the isles as a very little thing. 16 And Lebanon is not sufficient to burn, nor the beasts thereof sufficient for a burnt-offering. 17 All the nations are as nothing before him; they are accounted by him as less than nothing, and vanity.
18 To whom then will ye liken God? or what likeness will ye compare unto him? 19 The image, a workman hath cast it, and the goldsmith overlayeth it with gold, and casteth for it silver chains. 20 He that is too impoverished for such an oblation chooseth a tree that will not rot; he seeketh unto him a skilful workman to set up a graven image, that shall not be moved. 21 Have ye not known? have ye not heard? hath it not been told you from the beginning? have ye not understood from the foundations of the earth? 22 It is he that sitteth above the circle of the earth, and the inhabitants thereof are as grasshoppers; that stretcheth out the heavens as a curtain, and spreadeth them out as a tent to dwell in; 23 that bringeth princes to nothing; that maketh the judges of the earth as vanity. 24 Yea, they have not been planted; yea, they have not been sown; yea, their stock hath not taken root in the earth: moreover he bloweth upon them, and they wither, and the whirlwind taketh them away as stubble. 25 To whom then will ye liken me, that I should be equal to him? saith the Holy One. 26 Lift up your eyes on high, and see who hath created these, that bringeth out their host by number; he calleth them all by name; by the greatness of his might, and for that he is strong in power, not one is lacking.
27 Why sayest thou, O Jacob, and speakest, O Israel, My way is hid from Jehovah, and the justice due to me is passed away from my God? 28 Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard? The everlasting God, Jehovah, the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not, neither is weary; there is no searching of his understanding. 29 He giveth power to the faint; and to him that hath no might he increaseth strength. 30 Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall: 31 but they that wait for Jehovah shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; they shall walk, and not faint.
