¹ εἶπεν δὲ κύριος πρὸς μωυσῆν εἰπὸν ααρων τῷ ἀδελφῷ σου ἔκτεινον τῇ χειρὶ τὴν ῥάβδον σου ἐπὶ τοὺς ποταμοὺς καὶ ἐπὶ τὰς διώρυγας καὶ ἐπὶ τὰ ἕλη καὶ ἀνάγαγε τοὺς βατράχους

² καὶ ἐξέτεινεν ααρων τὴν χεῖρα ἐπὶ τὰ ὕδατα αἰγύπτου καὶ ἀνήγαγεν τοὺς βατράχους καὶ ἀνεβιβάσθη ὁ βάτραχος καὶ ἐκάλυψεν τὴν γῆν αἰγύπτου

³ ἐποίησαν δὲ ὡσαύτως καὶ οἱ ἐπαοιδοὶ τῶν αἰγυπτίων ταῖς φαρμακείαις αὐτῶν καὶ ἀνήγαγον τοὺς βατράχους ἐπὶ γῆν αἰγύπτου

⁴ καὶ ἐκάλεσεν φαραω μωυσῆν καὶ ααρων καὶ εἶπεν εὔξασθε περὶ ἐμοῦ πρὸς κύριον καὶ περιελέτω τοὺς βατράχους ἀπ' ἐμοῦ καὶ ἀπὸ τοῦ ἐμοῦ λαοῦ καὶ ἐξαποστελῶ τὸν λαόν καὶ θύσωσιν κυρίῳ

⁵ εἶπεν δὲ μωυσῆς πρὸς φαραω τάξαι πρός με πότε εὔξωμαι περὶ σοῦ καὶ περὶ τῶν θεραπόντων σου καὶ περὶ τοῦ λαοῦ σου ἀφανίσαι τοὺς βατράχους ἀπὸ σοῦ καὶ ἀπὸ τοῦ λαοῦ σου καὶ ἐκ τῶν οἰκιῶν ὑμῶν πλὴν ἐν τῷ ποταμῷ ὑπολειφθήσονται

⁶ ὁ δὲ εἶπεν εἰς αὔριον εἶπεν οὖν ὡς εἴρηκας ἵνα εἰδῇς ὅτι οὐκ ἔστιν ἄλλος πλὴν κυρίου

⁷ καὶ περιαιρεθήσονται οἱ βάτραχοι ἀπὸ σοῦ καὶ ἐκ τῶν οἰκιῶν ὑμῶν καὶ ἐκ τῶν ἐπαύλεων καὶ ἀπὸ τῶν θεραπόντων σου καὶ ἀπὸ τοῦ λαοῦ σου πλὴν ἐν τῷ ποταμῷ ὑπολειφθήσονται

⁸ ἐξῆλθεν δὲ μωυσῆς καὶ ααρων ἀπὸ φαραω καὶ ἐβόησεν μωυσῆς πρὸς κύριον περὶ τοῦ ὁρισμοῦ τῶν βατράχων ὡς ἐτάξατο φαραω

⁹ ἐποίησεν δὲ κύριος καθάπερ εἶπεν μωυσῆς καὶ ἐτελεύτησαν οἱ βάτραχοι ἐκ τῶν οἰκιῶν καὶ ἐκ τῶν ἐπαύλεων καὶ ἐκ τῶν ἀγρῶν

¹⁰ καὶ συνήγαγον αὐτοὺς θιμωνιὰς θιμωνιάς καὶ ὤζεσεν ἡ γῆ

¹¹ ἰδὼν δὲ φαραω ὅτι γέγονεν ἀνάψυξις ἐβαρύνθη ἡ καρδία αὐτοῦ καὶ οὐκ εἰσήκουσεν αὐτῶν καθάπερ ἐλάλησεν κύριος

¹² εἶπεν δὲ κύριος πρὸς μωυσῆν εἰπὸν ααρων ἔκτεινον τῇ χειρὶ τὴν ῥάβδον σου καὶ πάταξον τὸ χῶμα τῆς γῆς καὶ ἔσονται σκνῖφες ἔν τε τοῖς ἀνθρώποις καὶ ἐν τοῖς τετράποσιν καὶ ἐν πάσῃ γῇ αἰγύπτου

¹³ ἐξέτεινεν οὖν ααρων τῇ χειρὶ τὴν ῥάβδον καὶ ἐπάταξεν τὸ χῶμα τῆς γῆς καὶ ἐγένοντο οἱ σκνῖφες ἔν τε τοῖς ἀνθρώποις καὶ ἐν τοῖς τετράποσιν καὶ ἐν παντὶ χώματι τῆς γῆς ἐγένοντο οἱ σκνῖφες ἐν πάσῃ γῇ αἰγύπτου

¹⁴ ἐποιήσαν δὲ ὡσαύτως καὶ οἱ ἐπαοιδοὶ ταῖς φαρμακείαις αὐτῶν ἐξαγαγεῖν τὸν σκνῖφα καὶ οὐκ ἠδύναντο καὶ ἐγένοντο οἱ σκνῖφες ἐν τοῖς ἀνθρώποις καὶ ἐν τοῖς τετράποσιν

¹⁵ εἶπαν οὖν οἱ ἐπαοιδοὶ τῷ φαραω δάκτυλος θεοῦ ἐστιν τοῦτο καὶ ἐσκληρύνθη ἡ καρδία φαραω καὶ οὐκ εἰσήκουσεν αὐτῶν καθάπερ ἐλάλησεν κύριος

¹⁶ εἶπεν δὲ κύριος πρὸς μωυσῆν ὄρθρισον τὸ πρωὶ καὶ στῆθι ἐναντίον φαραω καὶ ἰδοὺ αὐτὸς ἐξελεύσεται ἐπὶ τὸ ὕδωρ καὶ ἐρεῖς πρὸς αὐτόν τάδε λέγει κύριος ἐξαπόστειλον τὸν λαόν μου ἵνα μοι λατρεύσωσιν ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ

¹⁷ ἐὰν δὲ μὴ βούλῃ ἐξαποστεῖλαι τὸν λαόν μου ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ ἐπαποστέλλω ἐπὶ σὲ καὶ ἐπὶ τοὺς θεράποντάς σου καὶ ἐπὶ τὸν λαόν σου καὶ ἐπὶ τοὺς οἴκους ὑμῶν κυνόμυιαν καὶ πλησθήσονται αἱ οἰκίαι τῶν αἰγυπτίων τῆς κυνομυίης καὶ εἰς τὴν γῆν ἐφ' ἧς εἰσιν ἐπ' αὐτῆς

¹⁸ καὶ παραδοξάσω ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ τὴν γῆν γεσεμ ἐφ' ἧς ὁ λαός μου ἔπεστιν ἐπ' αὐτῆς ἐφ' ἧς οὐκ ἔσται ἐκεῖ ἡ κυνόμυια ἵνα εἰδῇς ὅτι ἐγώ εἰμι κύριος ὁ κύριος πάσης τῆς γῆς

¹⁹ καὶ δώσω διαστολὴν ἀνὰ μέσον τοῦ ἐμοῦ λαοῦ καὶ ἀνὰ μέσον τοῦ σοῦ λαοῦ ἐν δὲ τῇ αὔριον ἔσται τὸ σημεῖον τοῦτο ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς

²⁰ ἐποίησεν δὲ κύριος οὕτως καὶ παρεγένετο ἡ κυνόμυια πλῆθος εἰς τοὺς οἴκους φαραω καὶ εἰς τοὺς οἴκους τῶν θεραπόντων αὐτοῦ καὶ εἰς πᾶσαν τὴν γῆν αἰγύπτου καὶ ἐξωλεθρεύθη ἡ γῆ ἀπὸ τῆς κυνομυίης

²¹ ἐκάλεσεν δὲ φαραω μωυσῆν καὶ ααρων λέγων ἐλθόντες θύσατε τῷ θεῷ ὑμῶν ἐν τῇ γῇ

²² καὶ εἶπεν μωυσῆς οὐ δυνατὸν γενέσθαι οὕτως τὰ γὰρ βδελύγματα τῶν αἰγυπτίων θύσομεν κυρίῳ τῷ θεῷ ἡμῶν ἐὰν γὰρ θύσωμεν τὰ βδελύγματα τῶν αἰγυπτίων ἐναντίον αὐτῶν λιθοβοληθησόμεθα

²³ ὁδὸν τριῶν ἡμερῶν πορευσόμεθα εἰς τὴν ἔρημον καὶ θύσομεν κυρίῳ τῷ θεῷ ἡμῶν καθάπερ εἶπεν ἡμῖν

²⁴ καὶ εἶπεν φαραω ἐγὼ ἀποστέλλω ὑμᾶς καὶ θύσατε κυρίῳ τῷ θεῷ ὑμῶν ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ ἀλλ' οὐ μακρὰν ἀποτενεῖτε πορευθῆναι εὔξασθε οὖν περὶ ἐμοῦ πρὸς κύριον

²⁵ εἶπεν δὲ μωυσῆς ὅδε ἐγὼ ἐξελεύσομαι ἀπὸ σοῦ καὶ εὔξομαι πρὸς τὸν θεόν καὶ ἀπελεύσεται ἡ κυνόμυια ἀπὸ σοῦ καὶ ἀπὸ τῶν θεραπόντων σου καὶ τοῦ λαοῦ σου αὔριον μὴ προσθῇς ἔτι φαραω ἐξαπατῆσαι τοῦ μὴ ἐξαποστεῖλαι τὸν λαὸν θῦσαι κυρίῳ

²⁶ ἐξῆλθεν δὲ μωυσῆς ἀπὸ φαραω καὶ ηὔξατο πρὸς τὸν θεόν

²⁷ ἐποίησεν δὲ κύριος καθάπερ εἶπεν μωυσῆς καὶ περιεῖλεν τὴν κυνόμυιαν ἀπὸ φαραω καὶ τῶν θεραπόντων αὐτοῦ καὶ τοῦ λαοῦ αὐτοῦ καὶ οὐ κατελείφθη οὐδεμία

²⁸ καὶ ἐβάρυνεν φαραω τὴν καρδίαν αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐπὶ τοῦ καιροῦ τούτου καὶ οὐκ ἠθέλησεν ἐξαποστεῖλαι τὸν λαόν

¹ Listen, islands, to me; and Listen, you peoples, from far: Yahweh has called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother has he made mention of my name:

² and he has made my mouth like a sharp sword; in the shadow of his hand, he has hidden me: and he has made me a polished shaft; in his quiver has he kept me close:

³ and he said to me, "You are my servant; Israel, in whom I will be glorified."

⁴ But I said, "I have labored in vain, I have spent my strength for nothing and vanity; yet surely the justice [due] to me is with Yahweh, and my reward with my God."

⁵ Now says Yahweh who formed me from the womb to be his servant, to bring Jacob again to him, and that Israel be gathered to him (for I am honorable in the eyes of Yahweh, and my God is become my strength);

⁶ yes, he says, "It is too light a thing that you should be my servant to raise up the tribes of Jacob, and to restore the preserved of Israel: I will also give you for a light to the nations, that you may be my salvation to the end of the earth."

⁷ Thus says Yahweh, the Redeemer of Israel, [and] his Holy One, to him whom man despises, to him whom the nation abhors, to a servant of rulers: "Kings shall see and arise; princes, and they shall worship; because of Yahweh who is faithful, [even] the Holy One of Israel, who has chosen you."

⁸ Thus says Yahweh, "In an acceptable time have I answered you, and in a day of salvation have I helped you; and I will preserve you, and give you for a covenant of the people, to raise up the land, to make them inherit the desolate heritage:

⁹ saying to those who are bound, 'Come out!'; to those who are in darkness, 'Show yourselves!' "They shall feed in the ways, and on all bare heights shall be their pasture.

¹⁰ They shall not hunger nor thirst; neither shall the heat nor sun strike them: for he who has mercy on them will lead them, even by springs of water he will guide them.

¹¹ I will make all my mountains a way, and my highways shall be exalted.

¹² Behold, these shall come from far; and behold, these from the north and from the west; and these from the land of Sinim."

¹³ Sing, heavens; and be joyful, earth; and break forth into singing, mountains: for Yahweh has comforted his people, and will have compassion on his afflicted.

¹⁴ But Zion said, "Yahweh has forsaken me, and the Lord has forgotten me."

¹⁵ "Can a woman forget her nursing child, that she should not have compassion on the son of her womb? Yes, these may forget, yet I will not forget you!

¹⁶ Behold, I have engraved you on the palms of my hands; your walls are continually before me.

¹⁷ Your children make haste; your destroyers and those who made you waste shall go forth from you.

¹⁸ Lift up your eyes all around, and see: all these gather themselves together, and come to you. As I live," says Yahweh, "you shall surely clothe yourself with them all as with an ornament, and dress yourself with them, like a bride.

¹⁹ "For, as for your waste and your desolate places, and your land that has been destroyed, surely now you shall be too small for the inhabitants, and those who swallowed you up shall be far away.

²⁰ The children of your bereavement shall yet say in your ears, The place is too small for me; give place to me that I may dwell.

²¹ Then you will say in your heart, 'Who has conceived these for me, since I have been bereaved of my children, and am solitary, an exile, and wandering back and forth? Who has brought up these? Behold, I was left alone; these, where were they?'"

²² Thus says the Lord Yahweh, "Behold, I will lift up my hand to the nations, and set up my banner to the peoples; and they shall bring your sons in their bosom, and your daughters shall be carried on their shoulders.

²³ Kings shall be your nursing fathers, and their queens your nursing mothers: they shall bow down to you with their faces to the earth, and lick the dust of your feet; and you shall know that I am Yahweh; and those who wait for me shall not be disappointed."

²⁴ Shall the prey be taken from the mighty, or the lawful captives be delivered?

²⁵ But thus says Yahweh, "Even the captives of the mighty shall be taken away, and the prey of the terrible shall be delivered; for I will contend with him who contends with you, and I will save your children.

²⁶ I will feed those who oppress you with their own flesh; and they shall be drunken with their own blood, as with sweet wine: and all flesh shall know that I, Yahweh, am your Savior, and your Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob."
