Say to the cities of Juda: Behold your God: |

| 12 ܡܢܘ ܐܟܝܠ ܡ̈ܝܐ ܒܫܘܥܠܗ ܘܫܡܝܐ ܡܫܚ ܒܙܪܬܗ ܘܐܟܝܠ ܒܙܘܪܗ ܥܦܪܐ ܕܐܪܥܐ ܘܬܩܠ ܛܘܪ̈ܐ ܒܡܬܩܠܐ ܘܪ̈ܡܬܐ ܒܡܣܐܬܐ | 12 Who hath measured the waters in the hollow of his hand, and weighed the heavens with his palm? who hath poised with three fingers the bulk of the earth, and weighed the mountains in scales, and the hills in a balance? |
| 13 ܡܢܘ ܬܩܢ ܪܘܚܗ ܕܡܪܝܐ ܐܘ ܡܢܘ ܗܘܐ ܠܗ ܒܥܠ ܡܠ̣ܟܐ | 13 Who hath forwarded the spirit of the Lord? or who hath been his counsellor, and hath taught him? |
| 14 ܒܡܢܘ ܐܬܡܠܟ ܘܐܠܦܗ ܘܣܟܠܗ ܐܘܪܚܐ ܕܕܝܢܐ ܘܐܠܦܗ ܝܕܥܬܐ ܘܐܘܪܚܐ ܕܣܘܟܠܐ ܚܘܝܗ | 14 With whom hath he consulted, and who hath instructed him, and taught him the path of justice, and taught him knowledge, and shewed him the way of understanding? |

| 19 ܨܠܡܐ ܗܘ ܕܥܒܕ ܢܓܪܐ ܘܩܝܢܝܐ ܒܕܗܒܐ ܩܪܡܗ ܘܣܐܡܐ ܨܪܝܦܐ | 19 Hath the workman cast a graven statue? or hath the goldsmith formed it with gold, or the silversmith with plates of silver? |
| 20 ܩܒܥ ܒܗ ܦܪܝܫ ܗܘ ܩܝܣܐ ܕܠܐ ܡܒܠܛ ܘܓܒܐ ܢܓܪܐ ܘܒܚܟܡܬܗ ܓܠܦܗ ܘܡܬܩܢ ܨܠܡܐ ܕܠܐ ܙܐ̇ܥ | 20 He hath chosen strong wood, and that will not rot: the skilful workman seeketh how he may set up an idol that may not be moved. |
| 21 ܠܐ ܫܡܥܬܘܢ ܘܠܐ ܝܕܥܬܘܢ ܘܠܐ ܐܬܐܡܪ ܠܟܘܢ ܡܢ ܪܫܝܬܐ ܘܠܐ ܐܣܬܟܠܬܘܢ ܫܬܐ̈ܣܝܗ̇ ܕܐܪܥܐ | 21 Do you not know? hath it not been heard? hath it not been told you from the beginning? have you not understood the foundations of the earth ? |

| 23 ܕܥܒܕ ܫ̈ܠܝܛܐ ܠܐ ܡܕܡ ܘܕܝ̇ܢ̈ܐ ܕܐܪܥܐ ܐܝܟ ܕܠܝܬ ܐܢܘܢ | 23 He that bringeth the searchers of secrets to nothing, that hath made the judges of the earth as vanity. |

| 25 ܠܡ̇ܢ ܕܡܝܬܘܢܢܝ ܕܦܚ̇ܡ ܐܢܐ ܠܗ ܐܡ̇ܪ ܩܕܝܫܐ | 25 And to whom have ye likened me, or made me equal, saith the Holy One? |
| 26 ܐܪܝܡܘ ܥܝܢ̈ܝܟܘܢ ܠܡܪܘܡܐ ܘܚܙܘ ܡܢܘ ܒܪܐ ܗܠܝܢ ܕܡܦܩ ܒܡܢܝܢܐ ܚܝ̈ܠܘܬܗܘܢ ܘܠܟܠܗܘܢ ܩܪܐ ܫܡ̈ܗܐ ܒܣܘܓܐܐ ܕܐܝܩܪܗ ܘܒܥܘܫܢܐ ܕܚܝܠܗ ܐܢܫ ܠܐ ܛ̇ܥܐ | 26 Lift up your eyes on high, and see who hath created these things: who bringeth out their host by number, and calleth them all by their names: by the greatness of his might, and strength, and power, not one of them was missing. |
| 27 ܠܡܢܐ ܡܡܠܠ ܐܢܬ ܝܥܩܘܒ ܘܐܡ̇ܪ ܐܢܬ ܐܝܣܪܝܠ ܕܡܛܫ̈ܝܢ ܐܘܪ̈ܚܬܝ ܡܢ ܡܪܝܐ ܘܡܥܒܪ ܕܝܢܝ ܡܢ ܐܠܗܝ | 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 ܠܐ ܝܕܥܬ ܘܠܐ ܫܡܥܬ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܠܥܠܡ ܡܪܝܐ ܗܘ ܕܒܪܐ ܣܘ̈ܦܝܗ̇ ܕܐܪܥܐ ܠܐ ܡܬܛܪܦ ܘܠܐ ܠܐ̇ܐ ܘܠܝܬ ܒܘܕܩܐ ܠܣܘܟܠܗ | 28 Knowest thou not, or hast thou not heard? the Lord is the everlasting God, who hath created the ends of the earth: he shall not faint, nor labour, neither is there any searching out of his wisdom. |
| 29 ܝܗ̇ܒ ܚܝܠܐ ܠܡܛܪ̈ܦܐ ܘܠܡܟܐ̈ܒܝ ܟܐܒܐ ܡܣܓܐ ܥܘܫܢܐ | 29 It is he that giveth strength to the weary, and increaseth force and might to them that are not. |
| 30 ܢܬܛܪܦܘܢ ܥ̈ܠܝܡܐ ܘܢܠܐܘܢ ܘܓܕܘ̈ܕܐ ܡܬܬܩܠܘ ܢܬܬܩܠܘܢ | 30 Youths shall faint, and labour, and young men shall fall by infirmity. |
| 31 ܘܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܡܣܒܪܝܢ ܒܡܪܝܐ ܢܚܠܦܘܢ ܚܝܠܗܘܢ ܘܢܘܥܘܢ ܓܦ̈ܐ ܐܝܟ ܕܝܘܢܐ ܘܢܪܗܛܘܢ ܘܠܐ ܢܠܐܘܢ ܘܢܗܠܟܘܢ ܘܠܐ ܢܬܛܪܦܘܢ | 31 But they that hope in the Lord shall renew their strength, they shall take wings as eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint. |
