Isaiah 43
Revised Version 1895
1But nowH6258 thusH3541 saith the LORDH3068 that createdH1254 thee, O JacobH3290, and he that formedH3335 thee, O IsraelH3478: FearH3372 notH408, for I have redeemedH1350 thee; I have calledH7121 thee by thy nameH8034, thou art mine. 2When thou passest throughH5674 the watersH4325, I will be with thee; and throughH5674 the riversH5104, they shall notH3808 overflowH7857 thee: when thou walkest throughH5674 the fireH784, thou shalt notH3808 be burnedH1197; neitherH3808 shall the flameH3852 kindleH1197 uponH784 thee. 3For I am the LORDH3068 thy GodH430, the HolyH6918 One of IsraelH3478, thy saviour; I have givenH5414 EgyptH4714 as thy ransomH3724, EthiopiaH3568 and SebaH5434 for thee. 4SinceH834 thou hast been preciousH3365 in my sightH5869, and honourable, and I have lovedH157 thee; therefore will I giveH5414 menH120 for thee, and peoplesH3816 for thy lifeH5315. 5FearH3372 notH408; 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 upH5414; and to the southH8486, KeepH935 notH408 backH935; bringH935 my sonsH1121 from farH7350, and my daughtersH1323 from the endH7097 of the earthH776; 7everyH3605 one that is calledH7121 by my nameH8034, and whomH7121 I have createdH1254 for my gloryH3519; I have formedH3335 him; yea, I have madeH6213 him. 8BringH3318 forthH3318 the blindH5787 peopleH5971 that have eyesH5869, and the deafH2795 that have earsH241. 9LetH5414 allH3605 the nationsH1471 be gatheredH622 togetherH3162, and letH5414 the peoplesH3816 be assembledH622: who among them canH4310 declareH5046 this, and shew usH5414 formerH7223 things? letH5414 them bringH5414 their witnessesH5707, that they may be justifiedH6663: or letH5414 them hearH8085, and sayH559, It is truthH571. 10Ye are my witnessesH5707, saith the LORDH3068, and my servantH5650 whomH834 I have chosenH977: that ye may knowH3045 and believeH539 meH6440, and understandH995 that I am he; beforeH6440 meH6440 there was noH3808 GodH410 formedH3335, neitherH3808 shall there be afterH310 meH6440. 11I, even I, am the LORDH3068; and beside meH3467 there is noH369 saviour. 12I have declaredH5046, and I have savedH3467, and I have shewed, and there was noH369 strangeH2114 godH410 among youH859: therefore ye are my witnessesH5707, saith the LORDH3068, and I am GodH410. 13Yea, sinceH3117 the dayH3117 was I am he; and there is noneH369 that canH4310 deliverH5337 outH3027 of my handH3027: I will workH6466, and who shall let it? 14ThusH3541 saith the LORDH3068, your redeemerH1350, the HolyH6918 One of IsraelH3478: For your sakeH4616 I have sentH7971 to BabylonH894, and I will bringH3381 downH3381 allH3605 of them as fugitivesH1281, evenH3541 the ChaldeansH3778, in the shipsH591 of their rejoicing. 15I am the LORDH3068, your HolyH6918 One, the Creator of IsraelH3478, your KingH4428. 16ThusH3541 saith the LORDH3068, whichH4325 maketh a wayH1870 in the seaH3220, and a pathH1870 in the mightyH5794 watersH4325; 17which bringeth forthH3318 the chariotH7393 and horseH5483, the armyH2428 and the powerH2428; they lieH7901 downH7901 togetherH3162, they shall notH1077 riseH6965; they are extinct, they are quenchedH3518 as flaxH6594: 18RememberH2142 ye notH408 the formerH7223 things, neitherH408 considerH995 the things of oldH7223. 19BeholdH2005, I will doH6213 a newH2319 thingH2319; nowH6258 shall it springH6779 forthH6779; shall ye notH3808 knowH3045 it? I will evenH637 makeH7760 a wayH1870 in the wildernessH4057, and riversH5104 in the desertH3452. 20The beastsH2416 of the fieldH7704 shall honour meH5414, the jackalsH8577 and the ostrichesH3284: becauseH3588 I giveH5414 watersH4325 in the wildernessH4057, and riversH5104 in the desertH3452, to giveH5414 drinkH8248 to my peopleH5971, my chosenH972: 21the peopleH5971 whichH2098 I formedH3335 for myself, that they might set forth my praiseH8416. 22Yet thou hast notH3808 calledH7121 uponH7121 meH7121, O JacobH3290; but thou hast been wearyH3021 of meH7121, O IsraelH3478. 23Thou hast notH3808 broughtH935 meH935 the small cattle of thy burntH5930 offeringsH4503; neitherH3808 hast thou honoured meH935 with thy sacrificesH2077. I have notH3808 madeH3513 thee to serveH5647 with offeringsH4503, norH3808 weariedH3021 thee with frankincenseH3828. 24Thou hast boughtH7069 meH3808 noH3808 sweetH7070 caneH7070 with moneyH3701, neitherH3808 hast thou filledH7301 meH3808 with the fatH2459 of thy sacrificesH2077: but thou hast madeH7301 meH3808 to serveH5647 with thy sinsH2403, thou hast weariedH3021 meH3808 with thine iniquitiesH5771. 25I, evenH3808 I, am he that blotteth outH4229 thy transgressionsH6588 for mine own sakeH4616; and I will notH3808 rememberH2142 thy sinsH2403. 26PutH2142 meH2142 in remembranceH2142; letH2142 usH5608 pleadH8199 togetherH3162: set thou forth thy cause, that thou mayest be justifiedH6663. 27Thy firstH7223 fatherH1 sinnedH2398, and thine interpreters have transgressedH6586 againstH2398 meH2398. 28Therefore I will profaneH2490 the princesH8269 of the sanctuaryH6944, and I will makeH5414 JacobH3290 a curse, and IsraelH3478 a reviling.
