43BUT NOW [in spite of past judgments for Israel's sins], thus says the Lord, He Who created you, O Jacob, and He Who formed you, O Israel: Fear not, for I have redeemed you [ransomed you by paying a price instead of leaving you captives]; I have called you by your name; you are Mine.H559H3068H1254H3290H3335H3478H3372H1350H7121H8034 2When you pass through the waters, I will be with you, and through the rivers, they will not overwhelm you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned {or} scorched, nor will the flame kindle upon you.H5674H4325H5104H7857H3212H1119H784H3554H3852H1197 3For I am the Lord your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior; I give Egypt [to the Babylonians] for your ransom, Ethiopia and Seba [a province of Ethiopia] in exchange [for your release].H3068H430H6918H3478H3467H5414H4714H3724H3568H5434 4Because you are precious in My sight and honored, and because I love you, I will give men in return for you and peoples in exchange for your life.H3365H5869H3513H157H5414H120H3816H5315 5Fear not, for I am with you; I will bring your offspring from the east [where they are dispersed] and gather you from the west.H3372H935H2233H4217H6908H4628 6I will say to the north, Give up! and to the south, Keep not back. Bring My sons from afar and My daughters from the ends of the earth--H559H6828H5414H8486H3607H935H1121H7350H1323H7097H776 7Even everyone who is called by My name, whom I have created for My glory, whom I have formed, whom I have made.H3605H7121H8034H1254H3519H3335H6213 8Bring forth the blind people who have eyes and the deaf who have ears.H3318H5787H5971H3426H5869H2795H241 9Let all the nations be gathered together and let the peoples be assembled. Who among [the idolaters] could predict this [that Cyrus would be the deliverer of Israel] and show us the former things? Let them bring their witnesses, that they may be justified, or let them hear and acknowledge, It is the truth.H1471H6908H3162H3816H622H5046H8085H7223H5414H5707H6663H8085H559H571 10You are My witnesses, says the Lord, and My servant whom I have chosen, that you may know Me, believe Me {and} remain steadfast to Me, and understand that I am He. Before Me there was no God formed, neither shall there be after Me.H5707H5002H3068H5650H977H3045H539H995H6440H410H3335H310 11I, even I, am the Lord, and besides Me there is no Savior.H3068H1107H3467 12I have declared [the future] and have saved [the nation in times of danger], and I have shown [that I am God]--when there was no strange and alien god among you; therefore you are My witnesses, says the Lord, that I am God.H5046H3467H8085H2114H5707H5002H3068H410 13Yes, from the time of the first existence of day {and} from this day forth I am He; and there is no one who can deliver out of My hand. I will work, and who can hinder {or} reverse it?H3117H5337H3027H6466H7725 14Thus says the Lord, your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel: For your sake I have sent [one] to Babylon, and I will bring down all of them as fugitives, [with] all their nobles, even the Chaldeans, into the ships over which they rejoiced.H559H3068H1350H6918H3478H7971H894H3381H1281H3778H7440H591 15I am the Lord, your Holy One, the Creator of Israel, your King.H3068H6918H1254H3478H4428 16Thus says the Lord, Who makes a way through the sea and a path through the mighty waters,H559H3068H5414H1870H3220H5410H5794H4325 17Who brings forth chariot and horse, army and mighty warrior. They lie down together, they cannot rise; they are extinguished, they are quenched like a lampwick:H3318H7393H5483H2428H5808H7901H3162H6965H1846H3518H6594 18Do not [earnestly] remember the former things; neither consider the things of old.H2142H7223H995H6931 19Behold, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs forth; do you not perceive {and} know it {and} will you not give heed to it? I will even make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert.H6213H2319H6779H3045H7760H1870H4057H5104H3452 20The beasts of the field 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,H2416H7704H3513H8577H1323H3284H5414H4325H4057H5104H3452H8248H5971H972 21The people I formed for Myself, that they may set forth My praise [and they shall do it].H2098H5971H3335H5608H8416 22Yet you have not called upon Me [much less toiled for Me], O Jacob; but you have been weary of Me, O Israel!H7121H3290H3021H3478 23You have not brought Me your sheep {and} goats for burnt offerings, or honored Me with your sacrifices. I have not required you to serve with an offering {or} treated you as a slave by demanding tribute or wearied you with offering incense.H935H7716H5930H3513H2077H5647H4503H3021H3828 24You have not bought Me sweet cane with money, or satiated Me with the fat of your sacrifices. But you have only burdened Me with your sins; you have wearied Me with your iniquities.H7069H7070H3701H7301H2459H2077H5647H2403H3021H5771 25I, even I, am He Who blots out {and} cancels your transgressions, for My own sake, and I will not remember your sins.H4229H6588H2142H2403 26Put Me in remembrance [remind Me of your merits]; let us plead {and} argue together. Set forth your case, that you may be justified (proved right).H2142H8199H3162H5608H6663 27Your first father [Jacob, in particular] sinned, and your teachers [the priests and the prophets--your mediators] transgressed against Me.H7223H1H2398H3887H6586 28And so I will profane the chief ones of the sanctuary and will deliver Jacob to the curse (the ban, a solemn anathema or excommunication) and [will subject] Israel to reproaches {and} reviling.H2490H8269H6944H5414H3290H2764H3478H1421
