Ekev Haftarah

Yesha'Yahu 49:14-51:3
Yes 49:14 But Tziyon says, “יהוה has forsaken me, and יהוה has forgotten me.”
Yes 49:15 “Would a woman forget her nursing child, and not have compassion on the son of her womb? Though they forget, I never forget you.
Yes 49:16 “See, I have inscribed you on the palms of My hands; your walls are always before Me.
Yes 49:17 “Your sons shall hurry, your destroyers and those who laid you waste depart from you.
Yes 49:18 “Lift up your eyes round about and see, all of them gather together and come to you. As I live,” declares יהוה, “you shall put on all of them as an ornament, and bind them on you as a bride does.
Yes 49:19 “For your wastes, and your deserted places, and the land of your destruction, shall soon be too narrow for the inhabitants, while those who swallowed you up are far away.
Yes 49:20 “The sons of your bereavement shall yet say in your ears, ‘The place is too narrow for me, make room for me to live.’
Yes 49:21 “And you shall say in your heart, ‘Who has brought forth these for me, since I am bereaved and barren, an exile, and wandering to and fro? And who reared them? See, I was left alone – from where did these come?’ ”
Yes 49:22 Thus said the Master יהוה, “See, I lift My hand up to the goyim, and set up My banner for the peoples; and they shall bring your sons in their arms, and your daughters carried on their shoulders;
Yes 49:23 “And sovereigns shall be your foster fathers, and their sovereign females your nursing mothers. They bow down to you with their faces to the earth, and lick up the dust of your feet. And you shall know that I am יהוה – those who wait for Me shall not be ashamed.”
Yes 49:24 Is prey taken from the mighty, and the captives of the righteous delivered?
Yes 49:25 Yet thus said יהוה, “Even the captives of the mighty is taken away, and the prey of the ruthless is delivered; and I strive with him who strives with you, and I save your children.
Yes 49:26 “And I shall feed those who oppress you with their own flesh, and let them drink their own blood as sweet wine. All flesh shall know that I, יהוה, am your Savior, and your Redeemer, the Elohim of Ya`akov.”
Yes 50:1 Thus says יהוה, “Where is the certificate of your mother’s divorce, whom I have put away? Or which of My creditors is it to whom I have sold you? Look, you were sold for your perverseness, and your mother was put away for your transgressions.
Yes 50:2 “When I came, why was there no one? When I called, why was there no one to answer? Was My hand too short to redeem? Or have I no power to deliver? See, by My rebuke I dry up the sea, I make the rivers a wilderness; their fish stink for there is not water, and die of thirst.
Yes 50:3 “I clothe the heavens with darkness, and I make sackcloth their covering.”
Yes 50:4 The Master יהוה has given Me the tongue of taught ones, that I should know to help the weary with a word. He wakes Me morning by morning, he wakes My ear to hear as taught ones.
Yes 50:5 The Master יהוה has opened My ear, and I was not rebellious, nor did I turn away.
Yes 50:6 I gave My back to those who struck Me, and My cheeks to those who plucked out the beard, I did not hide My face from humiliation and spitting.
Yes 50:7 And the Master יהוה helps Me, therefore I shall not be humiliated. So I have set My face like a flint, and I know that I am not put to shame.
Yes 50:8 Near is He who declares Me right. Who would contend with Me? Let us stand together. Who is My adversary? Let him come near Me.
Yes 50:9 See, the Master יהוה helps Me. Who would declare Me wrong? See, all of them wear out like a garment, a moth eats them.
Yes 50:10 Who among you is fearing יהוה, obeying the voice of His Servant, that has walked in darkness and has no light? Let him trust in the Name of יהוה and lean upon his Elohim!
Yes 50:11 See, all you who light a fire, girding on burning arrows: walk in the light of your fire and in the burning arrows you have lit. From My hand you shall have this: you shall lie down in grief!
Yes 51:1 “Listen to Me, you who pursue righteousness, seeking יהוה: Look to the rock you were hewn from, and to the hole of the pit you were dug from.
Yes 51:2 “Look to Avraham your father, and to Sarah who bore you. For he was alone when I called him, and I blessed him and increased him.
Yes 51:3 “For יהוה shall comfort Tziyon, He shall comfort all her waste places. For He makes her wilderness like Ěḏen, and her desert like the garden of יהוה. Joy and gladness are found in it, thanksgiving and the voice of song.
