Reading –Isaiah 40 (KJV)
Comfort ye, comfort ye my people,
saith your God.
2
Speak ye comfortably to
Jerusalem, and cry unto her,
that her warfare is accomplished,
that her iniquity is pardoned:
for she hath received of
the Lord’s hand double for all her
sins.
3
The voice of him that crieth in the
wilderness,
Prepare ye the way of the Lord,
make straight in the desert a
highway for our God.
4
Every valley shall be exalted,
and every mountain and hill shall
be made low:
and the crooked shall be made
straight,
and the rough places plain:
5
and the glory of the Lord shall be
revealed,
and all flesh shall see it together:
for the mouth of the Lord hath
spoken it.
6
The voice said, Cry.
And he said, What shall I cry?
All flesh is grass,
and all the goodliness thereof is as
the flower of the field:
7
the grass withereth, the flower
fadeth:
because the spirit of
the Lord bloweth upon it:
surely the people is grass.
8
The grass withereth, the flower
fadeth:
but the word of our God shall stand
for ever.
9
O Zion, that bringest good tidings,
get thee up into the high mountain;
O Jerusalem, that bringest good
tidings,
lift up thy voice with strength;
lift it up, be not afraid;
say unto the cities of Judah,
Behold your God!
10
Behold, the Lord God will come
with strong hand,
and his arm shall rule for him:
behold, his reward is with him, and
his work before him.
11
He shall feed his flock like a
shepherd:
he shall gather the lambs with his
arm,
and carry them in his bosom,
and shall gently lead those that are
with young.
12
Who hath measured the waters in
the hollow of his hand,
and meted out heaven with the
span,
and comprehended the dust of the
earth in a measure,
and weighed the mountains in
scales,
and the hills in a balance?
13
Who hath directed the Spirit of
the Lord,
or being his counsellor hath taught
him?
14
With whom took he counsel,
and who instructed him,
and taught him in the path of
judgment,
and taught him knowledge,
and shewed to him the way of
understanding?
15
Behold, the nations are as a drop
of a bucket,
and are counted as the small dust
of the balance:
behold, he taketh up the isles as a
very little thing.
16
And Lebanon is not sufficient to
burn,
nor the beasts thereof sufficient for
a burnt offering.
17
All nations before him are as
nothing;
and they are counted to him less
than nothing, and vanity.
18
To whom then will ye liken God?
or what likeness will ye compare
unto him?
19
The workman melteth a graven
image,
and the goldsmith spreadeth it over
with gold,
and casteth silver chains.
20
He that is so impoverished that
he hath no oblation
chooseth a tree that will not rot;
he seeketh unto him a cunning
workman
to prepare a graven
image, that shall not be moved.
21
Have ye not known? have ye not
heard?
hath it not been told you from the
beginning?
have ye not understood from the
foundations of the earth?
22
It is he that sitteth upon the circle
of the earth,
and the inhabitants thereof are as
grasshoppers;
that stretcheth out the heavens as
a curtain,
and spreadeth them out as a tent to
dwell in:
23
that bringeth the princes to
nothing;
he maketh the judges of the earth
as vanity.
24
Yea, they shall not be planted;
yea, they shall not be sown:
yea, their stock shall not take root
in the earth:
and he shall also blow upon them,
and they shall wither,
and the whirlwind shall take them
away as stubble.
25
To whom then will ye liken me,
or shall I be equal? saith the Holy
One.
26
Lift up your eyes on high,
and behold who hath created
these things,
that bringeth out their host by
number:
he calleth them all by names by the
greatness of his might,
for that he is strong in power; not
one faileth.
27
Why sayest thou, O Jacob, and
speakest, O Israel,
My way is hid from the Lord,
and my judgment is passed over
from my God?
28
Hast thou not known? hast thou
not heard,
that the everlasting God, the Lord,
the Creator of the ends of the earth,
fainteth not, neither is weary?
there is no searching of his
understanding.
29
He giveth power to the faint;
and to them that have no might he
increaseth strength.
30
Even the youths shall faint and
be weary,
and the young men shall utterly
fall:
31
but they that wait upon
the Lord shall renew their strength;
they shall mount up with wings as
eagles;
they shall run, and not be weary;
and they shall walk, and not faint.
Tea/Coffee will be served after the morning service to which
everyone is warmly invited
