Isaiah 43:3-13

3For I am YhwhH3068 thy GodH430, the Holy OneH6918 of IsraelH3478, thy SaviourH3467: I gaveH5414 EgyptH4714 for thy ransomH3724, EthiopiaH3568 and SebaH5434 for thee. 4Since thou wast preciousH3365 in my sightH5869, thou hast been honourableH3513, and I have lovedH157 thee: therefore will I giveH5414 menH120 for thee, and peopleH3816 for thy lifeH5315.1 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, Give upH5414; and to the southH8486, Keep not backH3607: bringH935 my sonsH1121 from farH7350, and my daughtersH1323 from the endsH7097 of the earthH776; 7Even every oneH3605 that is calledH7121 by my nameH8034: for I have createdH1254 him for my gloryH3519, I have formedH3335 him; yea, I have madeH6213 him.

8Bring forthH3318 the blindH5787 peopleH5971 that haveH3426 eyesH5869, and the deafH2795 that have earsH241. 9Let all the nationsH1471 be gatheredH6908 togetherH3162, and let the peopleH3816 be assembledH622: who among them can declareH5046 this, and shewH8085 us former thingsH7223? let them bring forthH5414 their witnessesH5707, that they may be justifiedH6663: or let them hearH8085, and sayH559, It is truthH571. 10Ye are my witnessesH5707, saithH5002 YhwhH3068, and my servantH5650 whom I have chosenH977: that ye may knowH3045 and believeH539 me, and understandH995 that I am he: beforeH6440 me there was no GodH410 formedH3335, neither shall there be afterH310 me.2 11I, even I, am YhwhH3068; and besideH1107 me there is no saviourH3467. 12I have declaredH5046, and have savedH3467, and I have shewedH8085, when there was no strangeH2114 god among you: therefore ye are my witnessesH5707, saithH5002 YhwhH3068, that I am GodH410. 13Yea, before the dayH3117 was I am he; and there is none that can deliverH5337 out of my handH3027: I will workH6466, and who shall letH7725 it?3
