Isaiah 43
43But now, thus says the LORD, who created you, O Jacob, And He who formed you, O Israel: "Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by your name; You are Mine.H559H3068H1254H3290H3335H3478H3372H1350H7121H80342When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; And through the rivers, they shall not overflow you. When you walk through the fire, you shall not be burned, Nor shall the flame scorch you.H5674H4325H5104H7857H3212H1119H784H3554H3852H11973For I am the LORD your God, The Holy One of Israel, your Savior; I gave Egypt for your ransom, Ethiopia and Seba in your place.H3068H430H6918H3478H3467H5414H4714H3724H3568H54344Since you were precious in My sight, You have been honored, And I have loved you; Therefore I will give men for you, And people for your life.H3365H5869H3513H157H5414H120H3816H53155Fear not, for I am with you; I will bring your descendants from the east, And gather you from the west;H3372H935H2233H4217H6908H46286I will say to the north, 'Give them up!' And to the south, 'Do not keep them back!' Bring My sons from afar, And My daughters from the ends of the earth—H559H6828H5414H8486H3607H935H1121H7350H1323H7097H7767Everyone who is called by My name, Whom I have created for My glory; I have formed him, yes, I have made him."H3605H7121H8034H1254H3519H3335H62138Bring out the blind people who have eyes, And the deaf who have ears.H3318H5787H5971H3426H5869H2795H2419Let all the nations be gathered together, And let the people be assembled. Who among them can declare this, And show us former things? Let them bring out their witnesses, that they may be justified; Or let them hear and say, "It is truth."H1471H6908H3162H3816H622H5046H8085H7223H5414H5707H6663H8085H559H57110"You are My witnesses," says the LORD, "And My servant whom I have chosen, That you may know and believe Me, And understand that I am He. Before Me there was no God formed, Nor shall there be after Me.H5707H5002H3068H5650H977H3045H539H995H6440H410H3335H31011I, even I, am the LORD, And besides Me there is no savior.H3068H1107H346712I have declared and saved, I have proclaimed, And there was no foreign god among you; Therefore you are My witnesses," Says the LORD, "that I am God.H5046H3467H8085H2114H5707H5002H3068H41013Indeed before the day was, I am He; And there is no one who can deliver out of My hand; I work, and who will reverse it?"H3117H5337H3027H6466H772514Thus says the LORD, your Redeemer, The Holy One of Israel: "For your sake I will send to Babylon, And bring them all down as fugitives—The Chaldeans, who rejoice in their ships.H559H3068H1350H6918H3478H7971H894H3381H1281H3778H7440H59115I am the LORD, your Holy One, The Creator of Israel, your King."H3068H6918H1254H3478H442816Thus says the LORD, who makes a way in the sea And a path through the mighty waters,H559H3068H5414H1870H3220H5410H5794H432517Who brings forth the chariot and horse, The army and the power (They shall lie down together, they shall not rise; They are extinguished, they are quenched like a wick):H3318H7393H5483H2428H5808H7901H3162H6965H1846H3518H659418"Do not remember the former things, Nor consider the things of old.H2142H7223H995H693119Behold, I will do a new thing, Now it shall spring forth; Shall you not know it? I will even make a road in the wilderness And rivers in the desert.H6213H2319H6779H3045H7760H1870H4057H5104H345220The beast of the field will honor Me, The jackals and the ostriches, Because I give waters in the wilderness And rivers in the desert, To give drink to My people, My chosen.H2416H7704H3513H8577H1323H3284H5414H4325H4057H5104H3452H8248H5971H97221This people I have formed for Myself; They shall declare My praise.H2098H5971H3335H5608H841622"But you have not called upon Me, O Jacob; And you have been weary of Me, O Israel.H7121H3290H3021H347823You have not brought Me the sheep for your burnt offerings, Nor have you honored Me with your sacrifices. I have not caused you to serve with grain offerings, Nor wearied you with incense.H935H7716H5930H3513H2077H5647H4503H3021H382824You have bought Me no sweet cane with money, Nor have you satisfied Me with the fat of your sacrifices; But you have burdened Me with your sins, You have wearied Me with your iniquities.H7069H7070H3701H7301H2459H2077H5647H2403H3021H577125"I, even I, am He who blots out your transgressions for My own sake; And I will not remember your sins.H4229H6588H2142H240326Put Me in remembrance; Let us contend together; State your case, that you may be acquitted.H2142H8199H3162H5608H666327Your first father sinned, And your mediators have transgressed against Me.H7223H1H2398H3887H658628Therefore I will profane the princes of the sanctuary; I will give Jacob to the curse, And Israel to reproaches.H2490H8269H6944H5414H3290H2764H3478H1421
