Chapter 53 |
| 1 | The fool hath
said in his heart, There is no God. Corrupt are they, and have done abominable
iniquity: there is none that doeth good. |
|
2 | God looked down from heaven
upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, that
did seek God. |
|
3 | Every one of them is gone back: they are altogether
become filthy; there is none that doeth good, no, not one. |
| 4 | Have the
workers of iniquity no knowledge? who eat up my people as they eat bread: they
have not called upon God. |
|
5 | There were they in great fear, where no
fear was: for God hath scattered the bones of him that encampeth against thee:
thou hast put them to shame, because God hath despised them. |
| 6 | Oh
that the salvation of Israel were come out of Zion! When God bringeth back the
captivity of his people, Jacob shall rejoice, and Israel shall be glad. |
