Isaiah 43:1-15
1But nowH6258, this is whatH3541 the LORDH3068 saysH559— He who created youH1254, O JacobH3290, and He who formed youH3335, O IsraelH3478:
“Do notH408 fearH3372, forH3588 I have redeemed youH1350;I have calledH7121 you by your nameH8034; you areH859 Mine!2WhenH3588 you passH5674 through the watersH4325,IH589 will be with youH854;and when you go through the riversH5104,they will notH3808 overwhelm youH7857.WhenH3588 you walkH1980 throughH1119 the fireH784,you will notH3808 be scorchedH3554;the flamesH3852 will notH3808 set you ablazeH1197.
3ForH3588 IH589 am the LORDH3068 your GodH430,the HolyH6918 One of IsraelH3478, your SaviorH3467;I giveH5414 EgyptH4714 for your ransomH3724,CushH35681 and SebaH5434 in your placeH8478.4BecauseH834 you are preciousH3365 and honoredH3513 in My sightH5869,and because IH589 love youH157,I will giveH5414 menH120 in exchange for youH8478and nationsH3816 in place ofH8478 your lifeH5315.
5Do notH408 be afraidH3372, forH3588 IH589 am with youH854;I will bringH935 your offspringH2233 from the eastH4217and gather youH6908 from the westH4628.6I will sayH559 to the northH6828, ‘Give them upH5414!’and to the southH8486, ‘Do notH408 hold them backH3607!’BringH935 My sonsH1121 from afarH7350,and My daughtersH1323 from the endsH7097 of the earthH776—7everyoneH3605 calledH7121 by My nameH8034 and createdH1254 for My gloryH3519,whom I have indeed formedH3335H637 and madeH6213.”
8Bring outH3318 a peopleH5971 who haveH3426 eyesH5869 but are blindH5787,and who have earsH241 but are deafH2795.9AllH3605 the nationsH1471 gatherH6908 togetherH3162and the peoplesH3816 assembleH622.WhoH4310 among them can declareH5046 thisH2063,and proclaim to usH8085 the former thingsH7223?Let them presentH5414 their witnessesH5707 to vindicate themH6663,so that others may hearH8085 and sayH559, “It is trueH571.”
10“YouH859 are My witnessesH5707,” declaresH5002 the LORDH3068,“and My servantH5650 whomH834 I have chosenH977,so thatH4616 you may considerH3045 and believeH539 Meand understandH995 thatH3588 IH589 am HeH1931.Before MeH6440 noH3808 godH410 was formedH3335,and after MeH310 noneH3808 will comeH1961.11IH595, yes IH595, am the LORDH3068,and there is noH369 SaviorH3467 but MeH1107.12IH595 alone decreedH5046 and savedH3467 and proclaimedH8085—I, and notH369 some foreign godH2114 among you.So youH859 are My witnessesH5707,” declaresH5002 the LORDH3068,“that IH589 am GodH410.13EvenH1571 from eternityH3117 IH589 am HeH1931,and noneH369 can deliverH5337 out of My handH3027.When I actH6466, whoH4310 can reverse itH7725?”
“For your sakeH4616, I will sendH7971 to BabylonH894and bring themH3381 allH3605 as fugitivesH1281,even the ChaldeansH3778,2in the shipsH591 in which they rejoiceH7440.15IH589 am the LORDH3068, your Holy OneH6918,the CreatorH1254 of IsraelH3478, and your KingH4428.”
