“When the Lord your God brings you into the land He swore to your fathers Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob that He would give you—a land with large and beautiful cities that you did not build,

You are not going to take possession of their land because of your righteousness or your integrity. Instead, the Lord your God will drive out these nations before you because of their wickedness, in order to keep the promise He swore to your fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.

Remember Your servants Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Disregard this people’s stubbornness, and their wickedness and sin.

and so that He may establish you today as His people and He may be your God as He promised you and as He swore to your fathers Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.

love the Lord your God, obey Him, and remain faithful to Him. For He is your life, and He will prolong your life in the land the Lord swore to give to your fathers Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.”

But the Lord’s portion is His people,
Jacob, His own inheritance.

Moses gave us instruction,
a possession for the assembly of Jacob.

They will teach Your ordinances to Jacob
and Your instruction to Israel;
they will set incense before You
and whole burnt offerings on Your altar.

So Israel dwells securely;
Jacob lives untroubled
in a land of grain and new wine;
even his skies drip with dew.

The Lord then said to him, “This is the land I promised Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, ‘I will give it to your descendants.’ I have let you see it with your own eyes, but you will not cross into it.”

and to Isaac I gave Jacob and Esau. I gave the hill country of Seir to Esau as a possession, but Jacob and his sons went down to Egypt.

Joseph’s bones, which the Israelites had brought up from Egypt, were buried at Shechem in the parcel of land Jacob had purchased from the sons of Hamor, Shechem’s father, for 100 qesitahs. It was an inheritance for Joseph’s descendants.

“When Jacob went to Egypt, your ancestors cried out to the Lord, and He sent them Moses and Aaron, who led your ancestors out of Egypt and settled them in this place.

These are the last words of David:

The declaration of David son of Jesse,
the declaration of the man raised on high,
the one anointed by the God of Jacob,
the favorite singer of Israel:

Elijah took 12 stones—according to the number of the tribes of the sons of Jacob, to whom the word of the Lord had come, saying, “Israel will be your name”—

but the Lord was gracious to them, had compassion on them, and turned toward them because of His covenant with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. He was not willing to destroy them. Even now He has not banished them from His presence.

They are still practicing the former customs to this day. None of them fear the Lord or observe their statutes and ordinances, the law and commandments the Lord commanded the descendants of Jacob. He had renamed him Israel.

you offspring of Israel His servant,
Jacob’s descendants—His chosen ones.

and confirmed to Jacob as a decree,
and to Israel as an everlasting covenant:

Oh, that Israel’s deliverance would come from Zion!
When the Lord restores the fortunes of His people,
Jacob will rejoice; Israel will be glad.

For the choir director. A Davidic psalm.May Yahweh answer you in a day of trouble;
may the name of Jacob’s God protect you.

You who fear Yahweh, praise Him!
All you descendants of Jacob, honor Him!
All you descendants of Israel, revere Him!

Such is the generation of those who seek Him,
who seek the face of the God of Jacob.Selah

You are my King, my God,
who ordains victories for Jacob.

The Lord of Hosts is with us;
the God of Jacob is our stronghold.Selah

Yahweh of Hosts is with us;
the God of Jacob is our stronghold.Selah

He chooses for us our inheritance—
the pride of Jacob, whom He loves.Selah

Oh, that Israel’s deliverance would come from Zion!
When God restores the fortunes of His people,
Jacob will rejoice; Israel will be glad.

Consume them in rage;
consume them until they are gone.
Then people will know throughout the earth
that God rules over Jacob.Selah

As for me, I will tell about Him forever;
I will sing praise to the God of Jacob.

At Your rebuke, God of Jacob,
both chariot and horse lay still.

With power You redeemed Your people,
the descendants of Jacob and Joseph.Selah

He established a testimony in Jacob
and set up a law in Israel,
which He commanded our fathers
to teach to their children

Therefore, the Lord heard and became furious;
then fire broke out against Jacob,
and anger flared up against Israel

He brought him from tending ewes
to be shepherd over His people Jacob—
over Israel, His inheritance.

for they have devoured Jacob
and devastated his homeland.

For the choir director: on the Gittith. Of Asaph.Sing for joy to God our strength;
shout in triumph to the God of Jacob.

For this is a statute for Israel,
a judgment of the God of Jacob.

Lord God of Hosts, hear my prayer;
listen, God of Jacob.Selah

For the choir director. A psalm of the sons of Korah.Lord, You showed favor to Your land;
You restored Jacob’s prosperity.

The Lord loves the gates of Zion
more than all the dwellings of Jacob.

They say, “The Lord doesn’t see it.
The God of Jacob doesn’t pay attention.”

The mighty King loves justice.
You have established fairness;
You have administered justice
and righteousness in Jacob.

you offspring of Abraham His servant,
Jacob’s descendants—His chosen ones.

and confirmed to Jacob as a decree
and to Israel as an everlasting covenant:

Then Israel went to Egypt;
Jacob lived as a foreigner in the land of Ham.

When Israel came out of Egypt—
the house of Jacob from a people
who spoke a foreign language—

Tremble, earth, at the presence of the Lord,
at the presence of the God of Jacob,

and how he swore an oath to the Lord,
making a vow to the Mighty One of Jacob:

until I find a place for the Lord,
a dwelling for the Mighty One of Jacob.”

For Yahweh has chosen Jacob for Himself,
Israel as His treasured possession.

Happy is the one whose help is the God of Jacob,
whose hope is in the Lord his God,

He declares His word to Jacob,
His statutes and judgments to Israel.

and many peoples will come and say,
“Come, let us go up to the mountain of the Lord,
to the house of the God of Jacob.
He will teach us about His ways
so that we may walk in His paths.”
For instruction will go out of Zion
and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.

House of Jacob,
come and let us walk in the Lord’s light.

For You have abandoned Your people,
the house of Jacob,
because they are full of divination from the East
and of fortune-tellers like the Philistines.
They are in league with foreigners.

I will wait for the Lord,
who is hiding His face from the house of Jacob.
I will wait for Him.

The Lord sent a message against Jacob;
it came against Israel.

On that day the remnant of Israel and the survivors of the house of Jacob will no longer depend on the one who struck them, but they will faithfully depend on the Lord, the Holy One of Israel.

The remnant will return, the remnant of Jacob,
to the Mighty God.

For the Lord will have compassion on Jacob and will choose Israel again. He will settle them on their own land. The foreigner will join them and be united with the house of Jacob.

On that day
the splendor of Jacob will fade,
and his healthy body will become emaciated.

In days to come, Jacob will take root.
Israel will blossom and bloom
and fill the whole world with fruit.

Therefore Jacob’s iniquity will be purged in this way,
and the result of the removal of his sin will be this:
when he makes all the altar stones
like crushed bits of chalk,
no Asherah poles or incense altars will remain standing.

Therefore, the Lord who redeemed Abraham says this about the house of Jacob:

Jacob will no longer be ashamed
and his face will no longer be pale.

For when he sees his children,
the work of My hands within his nation,
they will honor My name,
they will honor the Holy One of Jacob
and stand in awe of the God of Israel.

Jacob, why do you say,
and Israel, why do you assert:
“My way is hidden from the Lord,
and my claim is ignored by my God”?

But you, Israel, My servant,
Jacob, whom I have chosen,
descendant of Abraham, My friend—

Do not fear, you worm Jacob,
you men of Israel:
I will help you—
this is the Lord’s declaration.
Your Redeemer is the Holy One of Israel.

“Submit your case,” says the Lord.
“Present your arguments,” says Jacob’s King.

Who gave Jacob to the robber,
and Israel to the plunderers?
Was it not the Lord?
Have we not sinned against Him?
They were not willing to walk in His ways,
and they would not listen to His instruction.

So He poured out on Jacob His furious anger
and the power of war.
It surrounded him with fire, but he did not know it;
it burned him, but he paid no attention.

Now this is what the Lord says—
the One who created you, Jacob,
and the One who formed you, Israel—
“Do not fear, for I have redeemed you;
I have called you by your name; you are Mine.

“But Jacob, you have not called on Me,
because, Israel, you have become weary of Me.

So I defiled the officers of the sanctuary,
and set Jacob apart for destruction
and Israel for abuse.

“And now listen, Jacob My servant,
Israel whom I have chosen.

This is the word of the Lord
your Maker who formed you from the womb;
He will help you:
Do not fear; Jacob is My servant;
I have chosen Jeshurun.

This one will say, ‘I am the Lord’s’;
another will call himself by the name of Jacob;
still another will write on his hand, ‘The Lord’s,’
and name himself by the name of Israel.”

Remember these things, Jacob,
and Israel, for you are My servant;
I formed you, you are My servant;
Israel, you will never be forgotten by Me.

Rejoice, heavens, for the Lord has acted;
shout, depths of the earth.
Break out into singing, mountains,
forest, and every tree in it.
For the Lord has redeemed Jacob,
and glorifies Himself through Israel.

I call you by your name,
because of Jacob My servant
and Israel My chosen one.
I give a name to you,
though you do not know Me.

I have not spoken in secret,
somewhere in a land of darkness.
I did not say to the descendants of Jacob:
Seek Me in a wasteland.
I, Yahweh, speak truthfully;
I say what is right.

“Listen to Me, house of Jacob,
all the remnant of the house of Israel,
who have been sustained from the womb,
carried along since birth.

“Listen to this, house of Jacob—
those who are called by the name Israel
and have descended from Judah,
who swear by the name of Yahweh
and declare the God of Israel,
but not in truth or righteousness.

“Listen to Me, Jacob,
and Israel, the one called by Me:
I am He; I am the first,
I am also the last.

Leave Babylon,
flee from the Chaldeans!
Declare with a shout of joy,
proclaim this,
let it go out to the end of the earth;
announce,
“The Lord has redeemed His servant Jacob!”

And now, says the Lord,
who formed me from the womb to be His Servant,
to bring Jacob back to Him
so that Israel might be gathered to Him;
for I am honored in the sight of the Lord,
and my God is my strength—

He says,
“It is not enough for you to be My Servant
raising up the tribes of Jacob
and restoring the protected ones of Israel.
I will also make you a light for the nations,
to be My salvation to the ends of the earth.”

I will make your oppressors eat their own flesh,
and they will be drunk with their own blood
as with sweet wine.
Then all flesh will know
that I, Yahweh, am your Savior,
and your Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob.”

“Cry out loudly, don’t hold back!
Raise your voice like a trumpet.
Tell My people their transgression
and the house of Jacob their sins.

then you will delight yourself in the Lord,
and I will make you ride over the heights of the land,
and let you enjoy the heritage of your father Jacob.”
For the mouth of the Lord has spoken.

“The Redeemer will come to Zion,
and to those in Jacob who turn from transgression.”
This is the Lord’s declaration.

You will nurse on the milk of nations,
and nurse at the breast of kings;
you will know that I, Yahweh, am your Savior
and Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob.

I will produce descendants from Jacob,
and heirs to My mountains from Judah;
My chosen ones will possess it,
and My servants will dwell there.

Hear the word of the Lord, house of Jacob
and all families of the house of Israel.

“Declare this in the house of Jacob; proclaim it in Judah, saying:

Jacob’s Portion is not like these
because He is the One who formed all things.
Israel is the tribe of His inheritance;
Yahweh of Hosts is His name.

Pour out Your wrath on the nations
that don’t recognize You
and on the families
that don’t call on Your name,
for they have consumed Jacob;
they have consumed him and finished him off
and made his homeland desolate.

How awful that day will be!
There will be none like it!
It will be a time of trouble for Jacob,
but he will be delivered out of it.

As for you, My servant Jacob,
do not be afraid—
this is the Lord’s declaration—
and do not be dismayed, Israel,
for without fail I will save you from far away,
your descendants, from the land of their captivity!
Jacob will return and have calm and quiet
with no one to frighten him.
