1 Ἀκούσατε ταῦτα οἶκος Ἰακὼβ, οἱ κεκλημένοι ἐπὶ τῷ ὀνόματι Ἰσραὴλ, καὶ ἐκ Ἰούδα ἐξελθόντες, οἱ ὀμνύοντες τῷ ὀνόματι Κυρίου Θεοῦ Ἰσραὴλ, μιμνησκόμενοι οὐ μετὰ ἀληθείας, οὐδὲ μετὰ δικαιοσύνης, 2 καὶ ἀντεχόμενοι τῷ ὀνόματι τῆς πόλεως τῆς ἁγίας, καὶ ἐπὶ τῷ Θεῷ Ἰσραὴλ ἀντιστηριζόμενοι· Κύριος σαβαὼθ ὄνομα αὐτῷ. 3 Τὰ πρότερα ἔτι ἀνήγγειλα, καὶ ἐκ τοῦ στόματός μου ἐξῆλθε, καὶ ἀκουστὸν ἐγένετο· ἐξάπινα ἐποίησα, καὶ ἐπῆλθε. 4 Γινώσκω ὅτι σκληρὸς εἶ, καὶ νεῦρον σιδηροῦν ὁ τράχηλός σου, καὶ τὸ μέτωπόν σου χαλκοῦν. 5 Καὶ ἀνήγγειλά σοι πάλαι ἃ πρὶν ἐλθεῖν ἐπὶ σέ· ἀκουστόν σοι ἐποίησα, μή ποτε εἴπῃς, ὅτι τὰ εἴδωλά μοι ἐποίησε, καὶ εἴπῃς, ὅτι τὰ γλυπτὰ καὶ τὰ χωνευτὰ ἐνετείλατό μοι. 6 Ἠκούσατε πάντα, καὶ ὑμεῖς οὐκ ἔγνωτε· ἀλλὰ ἀκουστά σοι ἐποίησα τὰ καινὰ ἀπὸ τοῦ νῦν, ἃ μέλλει γίνεσθαι· καὶ οὐκ εἶπας, 7 νῦν γίνεται, καὶ οὐ πάλαι, καὶ οὐ προτέραις ἡμέραις ἤκουσας αὐτά· μὴ εἴπῃς, ναὶ, γινώσκω αὐτά. 8 Οὔτε ἔγνως, οὔτε ἠπίστω, οὔτε ἀπʼ ἀρχῆς ἤνοιξά σου τὰ ὦτα· ἔγνων γὰρ, ὅτι ἀθετῶν ἀθετήσεις, καὶ ἄνομος ἔτι ἐκ κοιλίας κληθήσῃ. 9 Ἕνεκεν τοῦ ἐμοῦ ὀνόματος δείξω σοι τὸν θυμόν μου, καὶ τὰ ἔνδοξά μου ἐπάξω ἐπὶ σὲ, ἵνα μὴ ἐξολοθρεύσω σε. 10 Ἰδοὺ πέπρακά σε, οὐχ ἕνεκεν ἀργυρίου· ἐξειλάμην δέ σε ἐκ καμίνου πτωχείας· 11 Ἕνεκεν ἐμοῦ ποιήσω σοι, ὅτι τὸ ἐμὸν ὄνομα βεβηλοῦται, καὶ τὴν δόξαν μου ἑτέρῳ οὐ δώσω. 12 Ἄκουέ μου Ἰακὼβ, καὶ Ἰσραὴλ ὃν ἐγὼ καλῶ· ἐγώ εἰμι πρῶτος, καὶ ἐγώ εἰμι εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα. 13 Καὶ ἡ χείρ μου ἐθεμελίωσε τὴν γῆν, καὶ ἡ δεξιά μου ἐστερέωσε τὸν οὐρανόν· καλέσω αὐτοὺς, καὶ στήσονται ἅμα, 14 καὶ συναχθήσονται πάντες, καὶ ἀκούσονται· τίς αὐτοῖς ἀνήγγειλε ταῦτα; ἀγαπῶν σε ἐποίησα τὸ θέλημά σου ἐπὶ Βαβυλῶνα, τοῦ ἆραι σπέρμα Χαλδαίων. 15 Ἐγὼ ἐλάλησα, ἐγὼ ἐκάλεσα, ἤγαγον αὐτὸν, καὶ εὐώδωσα τὴν ὁδὸν αὐτοῦ. 16 Προσαγάγετε πρὸς μὲ, καὶ ἀκούσατε ταῦτα· οὐκ ἀπʼ ἀρχῆς ἐν κρυφῇ λελάληκα· ἡνίκα ἐγένετο, ἐκεῖ ἤμην, καὶ νῦν Κύριος Κύριος ἀπέστειλέ με, καὶ τὸ πνεῦμα αὐτοῦ. 17 Οὕτω λέγει Κύριος; ὁ ῥυσάμενος σε, ἅγιος Ἰσραὴλ, ἐγώ εἰμι ὁ Θεός σου, δέδειχά σοι τοῦ εὑρεῖν σε τὴν ὁδὸν ἐν ᾗ πορεύσῃ ἐν αὐτῇ. 18 Καὶ εἰ ἤκουσας τῶν ἐντολῶν μου, ἐγένετο ἂν ὡσεὶ ποταμὸς ἡ εἰρήνη σου, καὶ ἡ δικαιοσύνη σου ὡς κῦμα θαλάσσης· 19 Καὶ ἐγένετο ἂν ὡς ἡ ἄμμος τὸ σπέρμα σου, καὶ τὰ ἔκγονα τῆς κοιλίας σου ὡς ὁ χοῦς τῆς γῆς· οὐδὲ νῦν οὐ μὴ ἐξολοθρευθῇς, οὐδὲ ἀπολεῖται τὸ ὄνομά σου ἐνώπιον ἐμοῦ. 20 Ἔξελθε ἐκ Βαβυλῶνος φεύγων ἀπὸ τῶν Χαλδαίων, φωνὴν εὐφροσύνης ἀναγγειλατε, καὶ ἀκουστὸν γενέσθω τοῦτο, ἀναγγείλατε ἕως ἐσχάτου τῆς γῆς· λέγετε, Ἐῤῥύσατο Κύριος τὸν δοῦλον αὐτοῦ Ἰακώβ· 21 Καὶ ἐὰν διψήσωσι, διʼ ἐρήμου ἄξει αὐτοὺς, ὕδωρ ἐκ πέτρας ἐξάξει αὐτοῖς· σχισθήσεται πέτρα, καὶ ῥυήσεται ὕδωρ, καὶ πίεται ὁ λαός μου. 22 Οὐκ ἔστι χαίρειν, λέγει Κύριος, τοῖς ἀσεβέσιν.

What the Fathers said

Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).

How these were chosen

“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).

  1. Quotes verse 48:12–16 Augustine of Hippo, The City of God (Book XX, Chapters 27–29)

    And now the Lord God and His Spirit hath sent me." It was Himself who was speaking as the Lord God; and yet we should not have understood that it was Jesus Christ had He not added, "And now the Lord God and His Spirit hath sent me." For He said this with reference to the form of a servant, …

  2. Quotes verse 48:16 Basil of Caesarea, On the Holy Spirit (Chapter XIX)

    And Isaiah, "The Lord God and His Spirit hath sent me," and "the Spirit came down from the Lord and guided them." And pray do not again understand by this guidance some humble service, for the Word witnesses that it was the work of God;--"Thou leddest thy people," it is said "like a flock," and "Thou that leadest Joseph like …

  3. Quotes verse 48:12 John of Damascus, An Exact Exposition of the Orthodox Faith (Book IV, Chapters XVII–XVIII)

    For through the union in subsistence the flesh is said to be deified and to become God and to be equally God with the Word; and God the Word is said to be made flesh, and to become man, and is called creature and last: not in the sense that the two natures are converted into one compound nature …

  4. Quotes verse 48:22 Augustine of Hippo, Expositions on the Psalms (Psalm XXXVIII)

    "For I will hear what the Lord God will speak in me; for He will speak peace unto His people." But "There is no peace," saith the Lord, "to the wicked." "I was dumb, and opened not my mouth; because it is Thou that madest me." Was this the reason that thou openedst not thy mouth, "because God made thee"?

  5. Quotes verse 48:22 Augustine of Hippo, Expositions on the Psalms (Psalm LXXXVII)

    For men are elated by these things, and mad with a kind of joy: but "there is no joy, saith the Lord, unto the wicked." There is a sort of joyfulness which the ear of man hath not heard, nor his eye seen, nor hath it entered into his heart to conceive.
