Only look! They are chaH which the Bra bums iup!
From the hand of destruction they snatch not their lives l
No coal to warm them, or a lantern to sit by, is left,
Such to you are the friends you have worked with from youth ;
Each will tum to his business,~—·z¤d none of them help you I

You House of jacob, hear
The called by Ismel’s Name;
Who from ]udah’s fountain How,
Who revere ]ehovah’s Might,
And trust ou·Israel’s GOD:
But not in Truth and the Right!
Who are called the·Se.cred Town,
And rest on Israel’s GOD,
Hrs NAME, Th' Ar.M1om·v Lim.
I foretold this from the first,
I announced, before it came,
T he event I made appear,
Because I knew you still',
And foresaw your iron neck,
And your forehead was of brass.
I told before they came,
My Idol made,
My Casting ordered them !
You heardall this before?
But you will not confess;
Now shall I tell you News?
And make the unknown known ?
New made,·—-not known till now,
I knew}
Yes! You heard not, you knew not,
Your ears could not have heard,
For I knew that you were false,
Called you Rebel from your birth,
For My Name I held My anger;
For My Honour held it back
From exterminating quite ;
I ref1ned,——but not for silver,
I in sufferings furnace tried,
For My sake——-—My sake I do it,
For is there not a hope E
And I give not My heart away.

List to Me jacob,. and Israel My Called,
I exist, am the First, I am also the Last!
My hand built the earth,
And My right stretched the skies.
If I call,-—-—they collect and stand up!
Comerall you together, anclhear,
Who informed you concerning these things?
He whorn the LQRD befriends will onVBabel do histwork
And on the Kasdim Race as I, Myself, have told,
Yes, have called and brought him out,
And, will bring his path success.
