You will not see the intransigent people, that people whose language is so obscure, whose stuttering speech you cannot understand.

Look at Tziyon, the city of our festivals; your eyes will see Yerushalayim a secure abode, a tent that will not be removed, whose pegs will never be pulled out and whose guy-ropes will not be cut.

It will burst into flower, will rejoice with joy and singing, will be given the glory of the L'vanon, the splendor of Karmel and the Sharon. They will see the glory of Adonai , the splendor of our God.

Turn your ear, Adonai , and hear! Open your eyes, Adonai , and see! Hear all the words that Sancheriv sent to taunt the living God.

"I plead with you, Adonai , remember now how I have lived before you truly and wholeheartedly, and how I have done what you see as good." And he cried bitter tears.

"I said, ‘I will never again see Yah, Yah in the land of the living; I will look on human beings no more or be with those who live in this world.

Then the glory of Adonai will be revealed; all humankind together will see it, for the mouth of Adonai has spoken."

Turn your eyes to the heavens! See who created these? He brings out the army of them in sequence, summoning each by name. Through his great might and his massive strength, not one of them is missing.

Then the people will see and know, together observe and understand that the hand of Adonai has done this, that the Holy One of Isra'el created it.

See how the former predictions come true; and now new things do I declare — before they sprout I tell you about them."

Listen, you deaf! Look, you blind! — so that you will see!

You see much but don't pay attention; you open your ears, but you don't listen.

I am doing something new; it's springing up — can't you see it? I am making a road in the desert, rivers in the wasteland.

All idol-makers amount to nothing; their precious productions profit no one; and their witnesses, to their own shame, neither see nor understand.

Such people know nothing, understand nothing. Their eyes are sealed shut, so that they can't see; their hearts too, so they can't understand.

Here is what Adonai , the Redeemer of Isra'el, his Holy One, says to the one despised, whom the nations detest, to the servant of tyrants: "When kings see you, they will stand up; princes too will prostrate themselves, because of Adonai , who is faithful, the Holy One of Isra'el, who has chosen you."

Listen! Your watchmen are raising their voices, shouting for joy together. For they will see, before their own eyes, Adonai returning to Tziyon.

Adonai has bared his holy arm in the sight of every nation, and all the ends of the earth will see the salvation of our God.

"See how my servant will succeed! He will be raised up, exalted, highly honored!

so now he will startle many nations; because of him, kings will be speechless. For they will see what they had not been told, they will ponder things they had never heard."
