Isaiah 45: 2-3

   Isaiah 45: 2-3

2 I will go before you

   and will level the mountains

   I will break down gates of bronze

   and cut through bars of iron.

3 I will give you hidden treasures,

   riches stored in secret places,

   so that you may know 

   that I am the Lord,

   the God of Israel,

   who summons you by name.

Isaiah 40:7-10

    Isaiah 40: 7-10

7 The grass withers and the flowers fall,

    because the breath of the Lord 

    blows on them.

    Surely the people are grass.

8 The grass withers and the flowers fall,

    but the word of our God 

    endures forever.”

9 You who bring good news to Zion,

   go up on a high mountain.

   You who bring good news to 

   Jerusalem, lift up your voice 

   with a shout, lift it up, do not be

   afraid;

   say to the towns of Judah,

   "Here is your God!”

10 See, the Sovereign Lord comes 

    with power,

    and he rules with a mighty arm.

    See, his reward is with him,

    and his recompense accompanies 

    him.

Isaiah 40: 3-5

   Isaiah 40: 3-5

3 A voice of one calling:

  "In the wilderness prepare

    the way for the Lord

    make straight in the desert

    a highway for our God.

4 Every valley shall be raised up,

    every mountain and hill made low;

    the rough ground shall become level,

    the rugged places a plain.

5 And the glory of the Lord will be 

   revealed, and all people will see it 

   together.

   For the mouth of the Lord 

   has spoken.”

Isaiah 49: 10-11

Isaiah 49: 10-11

10 They will neither hunger 

      nor thirst, nor will the desert 

      heat or the sun beat down 

      on them. He who has 

      compassion on them 

      will guide them and lead them 

      beside springs of water.

11 I will turn all my mountains 

     into roads, and my highways 

     will be raised up.

Isaiah 48: 10-11

Isaiah 48: 10-11

10 See, I have refined you, 

     though not as silver;

     I have tested you 

     in the furnace 

     of affliction.

11 For my own sake, 

     for my own sake, 

     I do this.

     How can I let myself 

     be defamed?

     I will not yield 

     my glory to another.

Isaiah 48: 17-19

    Isaiah 48: 17-19

17 This is what the Lord says—

    your Redeemer, 

    the Holy One of Israel:

   "I am the Lord your God,

    who teaches you what is best 

    for you, who directs you 

    in the way you should   go.

18 If only you had paid attention 

    to my commands,

    your peace would have been 

    like a river,

    your well-being like the waves of the sea.

19 Your descendants would have been 

    like the sand,

    your children like its numberless grains;

    their name would never be blotted out

    nor destroyed from before me.”

Isaiah 55: 6-7

   Isaiah 55: 6-7

6 Seek the Lord while he may be 

   found;

   call on him while he is near.

7 Let the wicked forsake their ways

   and the unrighteous their thoughts.

   Let them turn to the Lord, 

   and he will have mercy on them,

   and to our God, for he will freely   

   pardon.

Isaiah 55: 1-3

   Isaiah 55: 1-3

1 Come, all you who are thirsty,

   come to the waters;

   and you who have no money,

   come, buy and eat!

   Come, buy wine and milk

   without money and without cost.

2 Why spend money on what is not   

   bread, and your labor on 

   what does not satisfy?

   Listen, listen to me, and eat 

   what is good, and you will delight

   in the richest of fare.

3 Give ear and come to me;

   listen, that you may live.

   I will make an everlasting covenant

   with you, my faithful love 

   promised to David.

Isaiah 55: 8- 11

    Isaiah 55: 8-11

8 “For my thoughts are not your thoughts,

    neither are your ways my ways,”

    declares the Lord.

9 “As the heavens are higher than the earth,

    so are my ways higher than your ways

    and my thoughts than your thoughts.

10 As the rain and the snow

    come down from heaven,

    and do not return to it

    without watering the earth

    and making it bud and flourish,

    so that it yields seed for the sower 

    and bread for the eater,

11 so is my word that goes out 

     from my mouth:

     It will not return to me empty,

     but will accomplish what I desire

     and achieve the purpose 

     for which I sent it.

Isaiah 51: 4-8

Isaiah 51: 4-8

4 “Listen to me, my people;

    hear me, my nation:

    Instruction will go out from me;

    my justice will become a light 

    to the nations.

5 My righteousness draws near 

    speedily,

    my salvation is on the way,

    and my arm will bring justice 

    to the nations.

    The islands will look to me

    and wait in hope for my arm.

6 Lift up your eyes to the heavens,

    look at the earth beneath;

    the heavens will vanish like smoke,

    the earth will wear out like a garment

    and its inhabitants die like flies.

    But my salvation will last forever,

    my righteousness will never fail.

7 “Hear me, you who know what is right,

    you people who have 

    taken my instruction to heart:

    Do not fear the reproach of mere    

     mortals

    or be terrified by their insults.

8 For the moth will eat them up 

    like a   garment;

    the worm will devour them like wool.

    But my righteousness will last forever,

    my salvation through all generations 

Isaiah 43:25

       

        I, even I, am he 

        who blots out 

        your transgressions, 

        for my own sake,

        and remembers 

         your sins no more.

Isaiah 1:15-17

                 

 Isaiah 1:15-17

15  When you spread out your hands 

      in prayer,

      I hide my eyes from you;

      even when you offer many prayers,

      I am not listening.

      Your hands are full of blood!

16  Wash and make yourselves clean.

      Take your evil deeds out of my sight;

      stop doing wrong.

17  Learn to do right; seek justice.

      Defend the oppressed.

      Take up the cause of the fatherless;

      plead the case of the widow.

Isaiah 40: 27-31

Isaiah 40: 27-31

27 Why do you complain, Jacob?

     Why do you say, Israel

     “My way is hidden from the Lord;

     my cause is disregarded by my 

     God”?

28 Do you not know?

     Have you not heard?

     The Lord is the everlasting God

     the Creator of the ends of the earth.

     He will not grow tired or weary,

     and his understanding no one can 

     fathom.

29 He gives strength to the weary

     and increases the power of the   

     weak.

30 Even youths grow tired and weary,

     and young men stumble and fall;

31 those who hope in the Lord

     will renew their strength.

     They will soar on wings like eagles;

     they will run and not grow weary,

     they will walk and not be faint.

Isaiah 40: 21-24

21 Do you not know?
Have you not heard?
Has it not been told you from the beginning?
Have you not understood since the earth was founded?
22 He sits enthroned above the circle of the earth,
and its people are like grasshoppers.
He stretches out the heavens like a canopy,
and spreads them out like a tentto live in.
23 He brings princes to naught
and reduces the rulers of this world to nothing.
24 No sooner are they planted,
no sooner are they sown,
no sooner do they take root in the ground,
than he blows on them and they wither,
and a whirlwind sweeps them away like chaff.

Isaiah 40: 13-14

Isaiah 40: 13-14

13 Who can fathom the Spirit of the 

     Lord,
     or instruct the Lord as his  

     counselor?

14 Whom did the Lord consult to   

     enlighten him,
     and who taught him the right way?

     Who was it that taught him  

     knowledge,
     or showed him the path of 

     understanding?

Isaiah 40: 10-11

Isaiah 40:10-11

10 See, the Sovereign Lord comes with    

     power,

     and he rules with a mighty arm.

     See, his reward is with him,

     and his recompense accompanies  

     him.

11 He tends his flock like a shepherd:

     He gathers the lambs in his arms

     and carries them close to his heart;

     he gently leads those that have   

     young.

Isaiah 40: 6-8

Isaiah 40: 6-8

6 A voice says, “Cry out.”

   And I said, “What shall I cry?”

  “All people are like grass,

    and all their faithfulness is like the    

   flowers of the field.

7 The grass withers and the flowers fall,

    because the breath of the Lord blows

    on them.

    Surely the people are grass.

8 The grass withers and the flowers fall

    but the word of our God   

    endures forever.

18 “Forget the former things;

    do not dwell on the past.

19 See, I am doing a new thing!

    Now it springs up; do you not 

    perceive it?

    I am making a way in the 

    wilderness

    and streams in the wastelands 

Isaiah 43: 1-2

Isaiah 43: 1-2

1  But now, this is what the Lord 

    says— he who created you, Jacob,

    he who formed you, Israel:

    "Do not fear, for I have redeemed you;

    I have summoned you by name; 

       you are mine.

2 When you pass through the waters,

    I will be with you;

    and when you pass through 

    the rivers,

    they will not sweep over you.

    When you walk through the fire,

    you will not be burned;

    the flames will not 

      set you ablaze.

Isaiah 45: 22-24

Isaiah 45: 22-24

There is none except Me.
22 “Turn to Me and be saved, all the ends of the earth;
For I am God, and there is no other.
23 “I have sworn by Myself,
The word has gone forth from My mouth in righteousness
And will not turn back,
That to Me every knee will bow, every tongue will swear allegiance.
24 “They will say of Me

Isaiah 45: 5-7

Isaiah 45: 5-7

5"I am the Lord, and there is no other;

   Besides Me there is no God.

   I will gird you, though you have not 

     known Me;

6 That men may know from the rising 

   to the setting of the sun

   That there is no one besides Me.

      I am the Lord, and there is no other,

7 The One forming light and creating 

    darkness,

    Causing well-being and creating    

    calamity;

       I am the Lord who does all these"

Isaiah 43: 25

Isaiah 43: 25

Isaiah 40: 25-26

Isaiah 40: 25-26

25 "To whom will you compare me?

      Or who is my equal?” says the 

      Holy One.

26 Lift up your eyes and look to 

     the  heavens:

     Who created all these?

     He who brings out the starry host 

     one by one and calls forth 

     each of them by name.

     Because of his great power 

     and mighty strength,

    not one of them is missing.

Isaiah 41: 10

10 So do not fear, for I am with you;
    do not be dismayed, 

       for I am your God.
I will strengthen you and help you;
    I will uphold you with my righteous    

       right hand.

Isaiah 50: 2-3

2 When I came, why was 

there no one?
    When I called, why was there no one to answer?
Was my arm too short to deliver you?
    Do I lack the strength to rescue you?
By a mere rebuke I dry up the sea,
    I turn rivers into a desert;
their fish rot for lack of water
    and die of thirst.
3 I clothe the heavens with darkness
    and make sackcloth its covering.”

Isaiah 41: 13-16

13 For I am the Lord your God
    who takes hold of your right hand
and says to you, Do not fear;
    I will help you.
14 Do not be afraid, you worm Jacob,
    little Israel, do not fear,
for I myself will help you,” declares the Lord,
    your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel.
15 “See, I will make you into a threshing sledge,
    new and sharp, with many teeth.
You will thresh the mountains and crush them,
    and reduce the hills to chaff.
16 You will winnow them, the wind will pick them up,
    and a gale will blow them away.
But you will rejoice in the Lord
    and glory in the Holy One of Israel.
