Isaiah 43

1But nowH6258 thusH3541 saith Jehovah that createdH1254 thee, O JacobH3290, and he that formedH3335 thee, O IsraelH3478: FearH3372 not, for I have redeemedH1350 thee; I have calledH7121 thee by thy nameH8034, thou art mine. 2When thou passest through the watersH4325, I will be with thee; and through the riversH5104, they shall not overflowH7857 thee: when thou walkest through the fireH784, thou shalt not be burnedH1197, neither shall the flameH3852 kindleH1197 upon thee. 3For I am Jehovah thy GodH430, the HolyH6918 OneH6918 of IsraelH3478, thy Saviour; I have givenH5414 EgyptH4714 as thy ransomH3724, Ethiopia and SebaH5434 in thy stead. 4Since thou hast been preciousH3365 in my sight, and honorable, and I have lovedH157 thee; therefore will I giveH5414 menH120 in thy stead, and peoplesH3816 instead of thy lifeH5315. 5FearH3372 not; for I am with thee: I will bringH935 thy seedH2233 from the eastH4217, and gatherH6908 thee from the westH4628; 6I will sayH559 to the northH6828, GiveH5414 up; and to the southH8486, Keep not back; bringH935 my sonsH1121 from farH7350, and my daughtersH1323 from the endH7097 of the earthH776; 7every one that is calledH7121 by my nameH8034, and whom I have createdH1254 for my gloryH3519, whom I have formedH3335, yea, whom I have madeH6213.

8BringH3318 forthH3318 the blindH5787 peopleH5971 that have eyesH5869, and the deafH2795 that have earsH241. 9Let all the nationsH1471 be gatheredH622 togetherH3162, and let the peoplesH3816 be assembled: who among them can declareH5046 this, and show us formerH7223 things? let them bring their witnessesH5707, that they may be justifiedH6663; or let them hearH8085, and sayH559, It is truthH571. 10Ye are my witnessesH5707, saith Jehovah, and my servantH5650 whom I have chosenH977; that ye may knowH3045 and believeH539 me, and understandH995 that I am he: before me there wasH1961 no GodH410 formedH3335, neither shall there beH1961 after me. 11I, even I, am Jehovah; and besides me there is no saviour. 12I have declaredH5046, and I have savedH3467, and I have showed; and there was no strangeH2114 godH410 among you: therefore ye are my witnessesH5707, saith Jehovah, and I am GodH410. 13Yea, since the dayH3117 was I am he; and there is none that can deliverH5337 out of my handH3027: I will work, and who can hinder it?

14ThusH3541 saith Jehovah, your RedeemerH1350, the HolyH6918 OneH6918 of IsraelH3478: For your sakeH4616 I have sentH7971 to BabylonH894, and I will bringH3381 down all of them as fugitives, even the ChaldeansH3778, in the shipsH591 of their rejoicing. 15I am Jehovah, your HolyH6918 OneH6918, the Creator of IsraelH3478, your KingH4428. 16ThusH3541 saith Jehovah, who maketh a wayH1870 in the seaH3220, and a path in the mightyH5794 watersH4325; 17who bringeth forthH3318 the chariotH7393 and horseH5483, the armyH2428 and the mighty man (they lieH7901 down togetherH3162, they shall not riseH6965; they are extinct, they are quenchedH3518 as a wickH6594): 18RememberH2142 ye not the formerH7223 thingsH7223, neither considerH995 the thingsH7223 of old. 19Behold, I will do a newH2319 thingH2319; nowH6258 shall it springH6779 forth; shall ye not knowH3045 it? I will evenH637 makeH7760 a wayH1870 in the wildernessH4057, and riversH5104 in the desert. 20The beasts of the fieldH7704 shall honorH3513 me, the jackalsH8577 and the ostrichesH3284; because I giveH5414 watersH4325 in the wildernessH4057, and riversH5104 in the desert, to giveH5414 drinkH8248 to my peopleH5971, my chosen, 21the peopleH5971 which I formedH3335 for myself, that they might set forth my praiseH8416.

22Yet thou hast not calledH7121 upon me, O JacobH3290; but thou hast been wearyH3021 of me, O IsraelH3478. 23Thou hast not broughtH935 me of thy sheepH7716 for burnt-offerings; neither hast thou honoredH3513 me with thy sacrificesH2077. I have not burdened thee with offeringsH4503, nor weariedH3021 thee with frankincenseH3828. 24Thou hast boughtH7069 me no sweet caneH7070 with moneyH3701, neither hast thou filledH7301 me with the fatH2459 of thy sacrificesH2077; but thou hast burdened me with thy sinsH2403, thou hast weariedH3021 me with thine iniquitiesH5771.

25I, even I, am he that blotteth out thy transgressionsH6588 for mine own sakeH4616; and I will not rememberH2142 thy sinsH2403. 26Put me in remembranceH2142; let us plead togetherH3162: set thou forth thy cause, that thou mayest be justifiedH6663. 27Thy firstH7223 fatherH1 sinnedH2398, and thy teachers have transgressedH6586 against me. 28Therefore I will profaneH2490 the princesH8269 of the sanctuaryH6944; and I will makeH5414 JacobH3290 a curse, and IsraelH3478 a reviling.
