God Promises to Rescue His People

43Israel, the LORD who created you says, "Do not be afraid - I will save you. I have called you by name - you are mine.H559H3068H1254H3290H3335H3478H3372H1350H7121H8034
2When you pass through deep waters, I will be with you; your troubles will not overwhelm you. When you pass through fire, you will not be burned; the hard trials that come will not hurt you.H5674H4325H5104H7857H3212H1119H784H3554H3852H1197
3For I am the LORD your God, the holy God of Israel, who saves you. I will give up Egypt to set you free; I will give up Ethiopia and Seba.H3068H430H6918H3478H3467H5414H4714H3724H3568H5434
4I will give up whole nations to save your life, because you are precious to me and because I love you and give you honor.H3365H5869H3513H157H5414H120H3816H5315
5Do not be afraid - I am with you! "From the distant east and the farthest west I will bring your people home.H3372H935H2233H4217H6908H4628
6I will tell the north to let them go and the south not to hold them back. Let my people return from distant lands, from every part of the world.H559H6828H5414H8486H3607H935H1121H7350H1323H7097H776
7They are my own people, and I created them to bring me glory."H3605H7121H8034H1254H3519H3335H6213

Israel Is the Lord’s Witness

8God says, "Summon my people to court. They have eyes, but they are blind; they have ears, but they are deaf !H3318H5787H5971H3426H5869H2795H241
9Summon the nations to come to the trial. Which of their gods can predict the future? Which of them foretold what is happening now? Let these gods bring in their witnesses to prove that they are right, to testify to the truth of their words.H1471H6908H3162H3816H622H5046H8085H7223H5414H5707H6663H8085H559H571
10"People of Israel, you are my witnesses; I chose you to be my servant, so that you would know me and believe in me and understand that I am the only God. Besides me there is no other god; there never was and never will be.H5707H5002H3068H5650H977H3045H539H995H6440H410H3335H310
11"I alone am the LORD, the only one who can save you.H3068H1107H3467
12I predicted what would happen, and then I came to your aid. No foreign god has ever done this; you are my witnesses.H5046H3467H8085H2114H5707H5002H3068H410
13I am God and always will be. No one can escape from my power; no one can change what I do."H3117H5337H3027H6466H7725

Escape from Babylon

14Israel's holy God, the LORD who saves you, says, "To save you, I will send an army against Babylon; I will break down the city gates, and the shouts of her people will turn into crying.H559H3068H1350H6918H3478H7971H894H3381H1281H3778H7440H591
15I am the LORD, your holy God. I created you, Israel, and I am your king."H3068H6918H1254H3478H4428
16Long ago the LORD made a road through the sea, a path through the swirling waters.H559H3068H5414H1870H3220H5410H5794H4325
17He led a mighty army to destruction, an army of chariots and horses. Down they fell, never to rise, snuffed out like the flame of a lamp!H3318H7393H5483H2428H5808H7901H3162H6965H1846H3518H6594
18But the LORD says, "Do not cling to events of the past or dwell on what happened long ago.H2142H7223H995H6931
19Watch for the new thing I am going to do. It is happening already - you can see it now! I will make a road through the wilderness and give you streams of water there.H6213H2319H6779H3045H7760H1870H4057H5104H3452
20Even the wild animals will honor me; jackals and ostriches will praise me when I make rivers flow in the desert to give water to my chosen people.H2416H7704H3513H8577H1323H3284H5414H4325H4057H5104H3452H8248H5971H972
21They are the people I made for myself, and they will sing my praises!"H2098H5971H3335H5608H8416

Israel’s Sin

22The LORD says, "But you were tired of me, Israel; you did not worship me.H7121H3290H3021H3478
23You did not bring me your burnt offerings of sheep; you did not honor me with your sacrifices. I did not burden you by demanding offerings or wear you out by asking for incense.H935H7716H5930H3513H2077H5647H4503H3021H3828
24You didn't buy incense for me or satisfy me with the fat of your animals. Instead you burdened me with your sins; you wore me out with the wrongs you have committed.H7069H7070H3701H7301H2459H2077H5647H2403H3021H5771
25And yet, I am the God who forgives your sins, and I do this because of who I am. I will not hold your sins against you.H4229H6588H2142H2403
26"Let us go to court; bring your accusation! Present your case to prove you are in the right!H2142H8199H3162H5608H6663
27Your earliest ancestor sinned; your leaders sinned against me,H7223H1H2398H3887H6586
28and your rulers profaned my sanctuary. So I brought destruction on Israel; I let my own people be insulted."H2490H8269H6944H5414H3290H2764H3478H1421
