Isaiah 43
43But now thus says the LORD, he who created you, O Jacob, he who formed you, O Israel: Do not fear, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by name, you are mine.H559H3068H1254H3290H3335H3478H3372H1350H7121H80342When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and through the rivers, they shall not overwhelm you; when you walk through fire you shall not be burned, and the flame shall not consume you.H5674H4325H5104H7857H3212H1119H784H3554H3852H11973For I am the LORD your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior. I give Egypt as your ransom, Ethiopia and Seba in exchange for you.H3068H430H6918H3478H3467H5414H4714H3724H3568H54344Because you are precious in my sight, and honored, and I love you, I give people in return for you, nations in exchange for your life.H3365H5869H3513H157H5414H120H3816H53155Do not fear, for I am with you; I will bring your offspring from the east, and from the west I will gather you;H3372H935H2233H4217H6908H46286I will say to the north, "Give them up," and to the south, "Do not withhold; bring my sons from far away and my daughters from the end of the earth—H559H6828H5414H8486H3607H935H1121H7350H1323H7097H7767everyone who is called by my name, whom I created for my glory, whom I formed and made."H3605H7121H8034H1254H3519H3335H62138Bring forth the people who are blind, yet have eyes, who are deaf, yet have ears!H3318H5787H5971H3426H5869H2795H2419Let all the nations gather together, and let the peoples assemble. Who among them declared this, and foretold to us the former things? Let them bring their witnesses to justify them, and let them hear and say, "It is true."H1471H6908H3162H3816H622H5046H8085H7223H5414H5707H6663H8085H559H57110You are my witnesses, says the LORD, and my servant whom I have chosen, so that you may know and believe me and understand that I am he. Before me no god was formed, nor shall there be any after me.H5707H5002H3068H5650H977H3045H539H995H6440H410H3335H31011I, I am the LORD, and besides me there is no savior.H3068H1107H346712I declared and saved and proclaimed, when there was no strange god among you; and you are my witnesses, says the LORD.H5046H3467H8085H2114H5707H5002H3068H41013I am God, and also henceforth I am He; there is no one who can deliver from my hand; I work and who can hinder it?H3117H5337H3027H6466H772514Thus says the LORD, your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel: For your sake I will send to Babylon and break down all the bars, and the shouting of the Chaldeans will be turned to lamentation.H559H3068H1350H6918H3478H7971H894H3381H1281H3778H7440H59115I am the LORD, your Holy One, the Creator of Israel, your King.H3068H6918H1254H3478H442816Thus says the LORD, who makes a way in the sea, a path in the mighty waters,H559H3068H5414H1870H3220H5410H5794H432517who brings out chariot and horse, army and warrior; they lie down, they cannot rise, they are extinguished, quenched like a wick:H3318H7393H5483H2428H5808H7901H3162H6965H1846H3518H659418Do not remember the former things, or consider the things of old.H2142H7223H995H693119I am about to do a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it? I will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert.H6213H2319H6779H3045H7760H1870H4057H5104H345220The wild animals will honor me, the jackals and the ostriches; for I give water in the wilderness, rivers in the desert, to give drink to my chosen people,H2416H7704H3513H8577H1323H3284H5414H4325H4057H5104H3452H8248H5971H97221the people whom I formed for myself so that they might declare my praise.H2098H5971H3335H5608H841622Yet you did not call upon me, O Jacob; but you have been weary of me, O Israel!H7121H3290H3021H347823You have not brought me your sheep for burnt offerings, or honored me with your sacrifices. I have not burdened you with offerings, or wearied you with frankincense.H935H7716H5930H3513H2077H5647H4503H3021H382824You have not bought me sweet cane with money, or satisfied me with the fat of your sacrifices. But you have burdened me with your sins; you have wearied me with your iniquities.H7069H7070H3701H7301H2459H2077H5647H2403H3021H577125I, I am He who blots out your transgressions for my own sake, and I will not remember your sins.H4229H6588H2142H240326Accuse me, let us go to trial; set forth your case, so that you may be proved right.H2142H8199H3162H5608H666327Your first ancestor sinned, and your interpreters transgressed against me.H7223H1H2398H3887H658628Therefore I profaned the princes of the sanctuary, I delivered Jacob to utter destruction, and Israel to reviling.H2490H8269H6944H5414H3290H2764H3478H1421
