Restoration of Israel

43Now this is what the LORD says— the One who created you, Jacob, and the One who formed you, Israel— "Do not fear, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by your name; you are Mine.H559H3068H1254H3290H3335H3478H3372H1350H7121H8034
2I will be with you when you pass through the waters, and [when you pass] through the rivers, they will not overwhelm you. You will not be scorched when you walk through the fire, and the flame will not burn you.H5674H4325H5104H7857H3212H1119H784H3554H3852H1197
3For I the LORD your God, the Holy One of Israel, and your Savior, give Egypt as a ransom for you, Cush and Seba in your place.H3068H430H6918H3478H3467H5414H4714H3724H3568H5434
4Because you are precious in My sight and honored, and I love you, I will give human beings in your place, and peoples in place of your life.H3365H5869H3513H157H5414H120H3816H5315
5Do not fear, for I am with you; I will bring your descendants from the east, and gather you from the west.H3372H935H2233H4217H6908H4628
6I will say to the north: Give [them] up! and to the south: Do not hold [them] back! Bring My sons from far away, and My daughters from the ends of the earth—H559H6828H5414H8486H3607H935H1121H7350H1323H7097H776
7everyone called by My name and created for My glory. I have formed him; indeed, I have made him."H3605H7121H8034H1254H3519H3335H6213
8Bring out a people who are blind, yet have eyes, and are deaf, yet have ears.H3318H5787H5971H3426H5869H2795H241
9All the nations are gathered together, and the peoples are assembled. Who among them can declare this, and tell us the former things?

10"You are My witnesses"— the LORD's declaration— "and My servant whom I have chosen, so that you may know and believe Me and understand that I am He. No god was formed before Me, and there will be none after Me.H5707H5002H3068H5650H977H3045H539H995H6440H410H3335H310
11I, I am the LORD, and there is no other Savior but Me.H3068H1107H3467
12I alone declared, saved, and proclaimed— and not some foreign god among you. So you are My witnesses"— the LORD's declaration— "and I am God.H5046H3467H8085H2114H5707H5002H3068H410
13Also, from today on I am He [alone], and no one can take [anything] from My hand. I act, and who can reverse it?"H3117H5337H3027H6466H7725

God’s Deliverance of Rebellious Israel

14This is what the LORD, your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel says: Because of you, I will send to Babylon and bring all of them as fugitives, even the Chaldeans in the ships in which they rejoice.H559H3068H1350H6918H3478H7971H894H3381H1281H3778H7440H591
15I am the LORD, your Holy One, the Creator of Israel, your King.H3068H6918H1254H3478H4428
16This is what the LORD says— who makes a way in the sea, and a path through surging waters,H559H3068H5414H1870H3220H5410H5794H4325
17who brings out the chariot and horse, the army and the mighty one together (they lie down, they do not rise again; they are extinguished, quenched like a wick)—H3318H7393H5483H2428H5808H7901H3162H6965H1846H3518H6594

20The animals of the field will honor Me, jackals and ostriches, because I provide water in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert, to give drink to My chosen people.H2416H7704H3513H8577H1323H3284H5414H4325H4057H5104H3452H8248H5971H972
21The people I formed for Myself will declare My praise.H2098H5971H3335H5608H8416
22"But Jacob, you have not called on Me, because, Israel, you have become weary of Me.H7121H3290H3021H3478
23You 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 incense.H935H7716H5930H3513H2077H5647H4503H3021H3828
24You have not bought Me aromatic cane with silver, or satisfied Me with the fat of your sacrifices. But you have burdened Me with your sins; you have wearied Me with your iniquities.H7069H7070H3701H7301H2459H2077H5647H2403H3021H5771
25"It is I who sweep away your transgressions for My own sake and remember your sins no more.H4229H6588H2142H2403
