Isaiah 43:3-15

3For 1I am the Lord your God, The Holy One of Israel, your 2Savior; I have given Egypt as your ransom, 34Cush and Seba in your place.4Since you are 5precious in My sight, Since you are 6honored and I 7love you, I will give other men in your place and other peoples in exchange for your life.5Do not fear, for 8I am with you; I will bring 9your offspring from the east, And 10gather you from the west.6I will say to the 11north, ‘Give them up!’ And to the south, ‘Do not hold them back.’ Bring My 12sons from afar And My daughters from the 13ends of the earth,7Everyone who is 14called by My name, And whom I have 15created for My 16glory, 17Whom I have formed, even whom I have made.”

8Bring out the people who are 18blind, even though they have eyes, And the deaf, even though they have ears.9All the nations have 19gathered together So that the peoples may be assembled. Who among them can 20declare this And proclaim to us the former things? Let them present 21their witnesses 22that they may be justified, Or let them hear and say, “It is true.”10“You are 23My witnesses,” declares the Lord, “And 24My servant whom I have chosen, So that you may know and believe Me And understand that 25I am He. 26Before Me there was no God formed, And there will be none after Me.11I, even I, am the Lord, And there is no 27savior 28besides Me.12It is I who have declared and saved and proclaimed, And there was no 29strange god among you; So you are My witnesses,” declares the Lord, “And I am God.13Even 3031from eternity 32I am He, And there is 33none who can deliver out of My hand; 34I act and who can reverse it?”

14Thus says the Lord your 35Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel, “For your sake I have sent to Babylon, And will bring them all down as fugitives, 36Even the 37Chaldeans, into the 38ships 39in which they rejoice.15I am the Lord, your Holy One, 40The Creator of Israel, your 41King.”
