[1] I myself declared (beforehand), and saved (in accordance
with that declaration), and published (the account of that
deliverance); I myself have done this, and there was no
strange (god) among you.--_Kay._
I have declared, and have saved, and I have showed, and it
was no strange god that was among you.--_Matthew Arnold._
[2] The valiant and the strong.--_Kay._
[3] 22-24. Yet on Me hast thou not called: but thou hast toiled
in respect of Me. Thou broughtest not for _Me_ the lamb of
thy burnt-offerings; with thy sacrifices thou didst not
glorify Me; I caused thee no labour in meat-offering,
neither made thee to toil in respect of incense. Thou
broughtest not sweet cane with money for _Me;_ and with the
fat of thy sacrifices thou didst not refresh _Me._ Verily,
thou hast caused Me to labour by thy sins; thou hast made
Me to toil by thine iniquities.--_Kay._
XLIV.--1. And now hear, O Jacob, My servant, and Israel whom I have
chosen. 2. Thus saith Jehovah, thy Creator, and thy Former from the
womb, who cometh to thy help: Fear not, My servant Jacob, and
Jeshurun, whom I have chosen! 3. For I will pour water on thirsty
ones, and brooks upon the dry ground; will pour My Spirit upon thy
seed, and My blessing upon thine after-growth; 4. and they shoot up
among the grass, as willows by flowing waters. 5. One will say, I
belong to Jehovah; and a second will solemnly name the name of Jacob;
and a third[1] will inscribe himself to Jehovah, and name the name of
Israel with honour.
