Wherefore, hearken, O my people, which are of the house of Israel,

and give ear unto my words;

for because the words of Isaiah are not plain unto you,

nevertheless they are plain unto all those that are filled with the spirit of prophecy.

But I give unto you a prophecy, according to the spirit which is in me;

wherefore I shall prophesy according to the plainness

which hath been with me from the time that I came out from Jerusalem with my father;

for behold, my soul delighteth in plainness unto my people, that they may learn.

for I came out from Jerusalem,

and mine eyes hath beheld the things of the Jews,

and there is none other people

that understand the things which were spoken unto the Jews

like unto them,

save it be that they are taught after the manner of the things of the Jews.

and after they shall have been brought down low in the dust,

even that they are not,

yet the words of the righteous shall be written,

and the prayers of the faithful shall be heard,

and all those who have dwindled in unbelief shall not be forgotten.
