But now, thus said YAHUAH, your Creator, O Ya’aqoḇ, and He who formed you, O Yisra’ĕl, “Do not fear, for I have redeemed you. I have called you by your name, you are Mine.
2 “When you pass through the waters, I am with you; and through rivers, they do not overflow you. When you walk through fire, you are not scorched, and a flame does not burn you.
3 “For I am YAHUAH your Elohim, the Qadosh One of Yisra’ĕl, your Saviour; I gave Mitsrayim for your ransom, Kush and Seḇa in your place.
4 “Since you were precious in My eyes, you have been esteemed, and I have loved you. And I give men in your place, and peoples for your life.
5 “Do not fear, for I am with you. I shall bring your seed from the east, and gather you from the west.
6 “I shall say to the north, ‘Give them up!’ And to the south, ‘Do not keep them back!’ Bring My sons from afar, and My daughters from the ends of the earth -
7 all those who are called by My Name, whom I have created, formed, even made for My esteem.”
8 He shall bring out a blind people who have eyes, and deaf ones who have ears.
9 All the nations shall be assembled, and the peoples be gathered. Who among them declares this, and shows us former? Let them give their witnesses, to be declared right; or let them hear and say, “It is truth.”
10 “You are My witnesses,” declares YAHUAH, “And My servant whom I have chosen, so that you know and believe Me, and understand that I am He. Before Me there was no Ĕl formed, nor after Me there is none.
11 “I, I am YAHUAH, and besides Me there is no saviour.
12 “I, I have declared and saved, and made known, and there was no foreign mighty one among you. And you are My witnesses,” declares YAHUAH, “that I am Ĕl.
13 “Even from the day I am He, and no one delivers out of My hand. I work, and who turns it back?”
14 Thus said YAHUAH, your Redeemer, the Qadosh One of Yisra’ĕl, “For your sake I shall send to Baḇel, and bring them all down as fugitives, even the Kasdites, who rejoice in their ships.
15 “I am YAHUAH, your Qadosh One, Creator of Yisra’ĕl, your Sovereign.”
16 Thus said YAHUAH, who makes a way in the sea and a path through the mighty waters,
17 who brings forth the chariot and horse, the army and the strong. They lie down together, they do not rise, they have been extinguished, they have been quenched like a wick.
18 “Do not remember the former, nor consider that of old.
19 “See, I am doing what is new, let it now spring forth. Do you not know it? I am even making a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert.
20 “The beast of the field esteems Me, the jackals and the ostriches, because I have given waters in the wilderness and rivers in the desert, to give drink to My people, My chosen,
21 this people I have formed for Myself, let them relate My praise.
22 “But you have not called on Me, O Ya’aqoḇ, for you have been weary of Me, O Yisra’ĕl.
23 “You have not brought Me the sheep for your burnt offerings, nor have you esteemed Me with your slaughterings. I have not caused you to serve with grain offerings, nor wearied you with incense.
24 “You have not bought Me sweet cane with silver, nor have you satisfied Me with the fat of your slaughterings. You have only burdened Me with your sins, you have wearied Me with your wickednesses.
25 “I, I am He who blots out your transgressions for My own sake, and remember your sins no more.
26 “Remind Me, let us enter into judgment, together; relate, that you might be declared right.
27 “Your first father sinned, and your interpreters have transgressed against Me.
28 “So I have profaned the chief ones of the qodesh place, and I have delivered up Ya’aqoḇ to the curse, and Yisra’ĕl to scorn.

YESHAYAHU (ISAIAH)
Chapter 43

“But now hear, O Ya’aqoḇ My servant, and Yisra’ĕl whom I have chosen.
2 “Thus said YAHUAH who made you and formed you from the womb, who helps you, ‘Do not fear, O Ya’aqoḇ My servant, and Yeshurun, whom I have chosen.
3 ‘For I pour water on the thirsty, and floods on the dry ground. I pour My Ruaḥ on your seed, and My beraḵah on your offspring,
4 and they shall spring up among the grass like willows by streams of water.’
5 “One says, ‘I belong to YAHUAH; another calls himself by the name of Ya’aqoḇ; another writes with his hand, ‘Unto YAHUAH,’ and names himself by the name of Yisra’ĕl.
6 “Thus said YAHUAH, Sovereign of Yisra’ĕl, and his Redeemer, YAHUAH of hosts, ‘I am the First and I am the Last, besides Me there is no Elohim.
7 ‘And who is like Me? Let him call and declare it, and lay it before Me, since I appointed the everlasting people. And the events that are coming and those that do come, let them declare these to them.
8 ‘Do not fear, nor be afraid. Have I not since made you hear, and declared it? You are My witnesses. Is there an Eloah besides Me? There is no other Rock, I know not one.’ ”
9 Those who make an idol, all of them are emptiness, and their delights do not profit. And they are their own witnesses; they neither see nor know, so that they are put to shame.
10 Who would form a mighty one or cast an idol that is of no value?
11 See, all his companions are ashamed, and the workmen, they are but men. Let them all be gathered together, let them stand up, let them fear, let them be put to shame, altogether.
12 The craftsman in iron with the tools works one in the coals, and fashions it with hammers, and works it with the strength of his arms. Even so, he shall be hungry, and has no strength; he drinks no water and is weary.
13 The carpenter stretches out his rule, he outlines it with chalk; he fashions it with a plane, and he outlines it with the compass, and makes it like the figure of a man, according to the comeliness of a man, to remain in the house.
14 He cuts down cedars for himself, and takes cypress and oak, which he raised among the trees of the forest. He has planted a pine, and the rain nourishes it.
15 And it shall be for a man to burn, for he takes some of it and warms himself. He also kindles it and shall bake bread. He also makes a mighty one and bows himself to it - has made it a carved image and falls down before it.
16 Half of it he shall burn in the fire; with this half he eats meat. He roasts a roast, and is satisfied. He also warms himself and says, “Aha, I am warm, I have seen the fire.”
17 And the rest of it he makes into a mighty one, his carved image. He falls down before it and worships, prays to it and says, “Deliver me, for you are my mighty one.”
18 They do not know nor understand, for He has smeared their eyes from seeing, and their hearts from understanding.
19 And no one recalls it to his heart, nor is there knowledge nor understanding to say, “I have burned half of it in the fire, and I have also baked bread on its coals; I have roasted meat and eaten it. And shall I make the rest of it an abomination? Should I fall down before a log of wood?”
20 Feeding on ashes, a deceived heart turns him aside, and he does not deliver his being, nor says, “Is there not a lie in my right hand?”
21 “Remember these, O Ya’aqoḇ, and Yisra’ĕl, for you are My servant! I have formed you, you are My servant, O Yisra’ĕl, do not forget Me!
22 “I shall wipe out your transgressions like a cloud, and your sins like a mist. Return to Me, for I shall redeem you.”
23 Sing, O shamayim, for YAHUAH shall do it! Shout, O depths of the earth! Break forth into singing, O mountains, forest, and every tree in it! For YAHUAH shall redeem Ya’aqoḇ, and make Himself clear in Yisra’ĕl.
24 Thus said YAHUAH, your Redeemer, and He who formed you from the womb, “I am YAHUAH, doing all, stretching out the shamayim all alone, spreading out the earth, with none beside Me,
25 frustrating the signs of the babblers, and driving diviners mad, turning wise men backward, and making their knowledge foolish,
26 confirming the word of His servant, and completing the counsel of His messengers, who says of Yerushalayim, ‘Be inhabited,’ and of the cities of Yahuḏah, ‘They shall be built, and her ruins raised up by Me,’
27 who is saying to the deep, ‘Be dry, and your rivers I dry up,’
28 who is saying of Koresh, ‘He is My shepherd, and he completes all My pleasure, even saying to Yerushalayim, “Let her be built,” and to the Hĕyḵal, “Let her foundation be laid.” ’

YESHAYAHU (ISAIAH)
Chapter 44

12/11/25

But when He saw the crowds, He went up on a mountain. And when He was seated His talmidim came to Him.
2 And having opened His mouth, He was teaching them, saying,
3 “Baruḵ are the poor in spirit, because theirs is the reign of the shamayim.
4 “Baruḵ are those who mourn, because they shall be comforted.
5 “Baruḵ are the meek, because they shall inherit the earth.
6 “Baruḵ are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, because they shall be filled.
7 “Baruḵ are the compassionate, because they shall obtain compassion.
8 “Baruḵ are the clean in heart, because they shall see Elohim.
9 “Baruḵ are the peacemakers, because they shall be called sons of Elohim.
10 “Baruḵ are those persecuted for righteousness’ sake, because theirs is the reign of the shamayim.
11 “Baruḵ are you when they reproach and persecute you, and falsely say every wicked word against you, for My sake.
12 “Rejoice and be glad, because your reward in the shamayim is great. For in this way they persecuted the neḇi’im who were before you.
13 “You are the salt of the earth, but if the salt becomes tasteless, how shall it be seasoned? For it is no longer of any use but to be thrown out and to be trodden down by men.
14 “You are the light of the world. It is impossible for a city to be hidden on a mountain.
15 “Nor do they light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand, and it shines to all those in the house.
16 “Let your light so shine before men, so that they see your good works and praise your Father who is in the shamayim.
17 “Do not think that I came to destroy the Torah or the Neḇi’im. I did not come to destroy but to complete.
18 “For truly, I say to you, till the shamayim and the earth pass away, one yod or one tittle shall by no means pass from the Torah till all be done.
19 “Whoever, then, breaks one of the least of these Commands, and teaches men so, shall be called least in the reign of the shamayim; but whoever does and teaches them, he shall be called great in the reign of the shamayim.
20 “For I say to you, that unless your righteousness exceeds that of the scribes and Pharisees, you shall by no means enter into the reign of the shamayim.
21 “You heard that it was said to those of old, ‘You shall not murder,’ and whoever murders shall be liable to judgment.
22 “But I say to you that whoever is wroth with his brother without a cause shall be liable to judgment. And whoever says to his brother, ‘Raka!’ shall be liable to the Sanhedrin. But whoever says, ‘You fool!’ shall be liable to fire of Gĕy-Hinnom.
23 “If, then, you bring your gift to the altar, and there remember that your brother holds whatever against you,
24 leave your gift there before the altar, and go, first make peace with your brother, and then come and offer your gift.
25 “Be well-minded with your opponent, promptly, while you are on the way with him, lest your opponent deliver you to the judge, and the judge to the officer, and you be thrown into prison.
26 “Truly, I say to you, you shall by no means get out of there till you have paid the last quarter.
27 “You heard that it was said to those of old, ‘You shall not commit adultery.’
28 “But I say to you that everyone looking at a woman to lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart.
29 “And if your right eye causes you to stumble, pluck it out and throw it away from you. For it is better for you that one of your members perish, than for your entire body to be thrown into Gĕy-Hinnom.
30 “And if your right hand causes you to stumble, cut it off and throw it away from you. For it is better for you that one of your members perish, than for your entire body to be thrown into Gĕy-Hinnom.
31 “And it has been said, ‘Whoever puts away his wife, let him give her a certificate of divorce.’
32 “But I say to you that whoever puts away his wife, except for the matter of whoring, makes her commit adultery. And whoever marries a woman who has been put away commits adultery.
33 “Again, you heard that it was said to those of old, ‘You shall not swear falsely, but shall perform your oaths to YAHUAH.’
34 “But I say to you, do not swear falsely at all, neither by the shamayim, because it is Elohim’s throne;
35 nor by the earth, for it is His footstool; nor by Yerushalayim, for it is the city of the great Sovereign;
36 nor swear by your head, because you are not able to make one hair white or black.
37 “But let your word ‘Yes’ be ‘Yes,’ and your ‘No’ be ‘No.’ And what goes beyond these is from the wicked one.
38 “You heard that it was said, ‘An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth,’
39 but I say to you, do not resist the wicked. But whoever slaps you on your right cheek, turn the other to him also.
40 “And he who wants to sue you and take away your inner garment, let him have your outer garment as well.
41 “And whoever compels you to go one miliyon, go with him two.
42 “Give to him who asks of you, and from him who wants to borrow from you, do not turn away.
43 “You heard that it was said, ‘You shall love your neighbour and hate your enemy.’
44 “But I say to you, love your enemies, baraḵ those cursing you, do good to those hating you, and pray for those insulting you and persecuting you,
45 so that you become sons of your Father in the shamayim. Because He makes His sun rise on the wicked and on the good, and sends rain on the righteous and on the unrighteous.
46 “For if you love those loving you, what reward have you? Are the tax collectors not doing the same too?
47 “And if you greet your brothers only, what do you do more? Are the tax collectors not doing so too?
48 “Therefore, be perfect, as your Father in the shamayim is perfect.
