Chapter 43

1


 

  But now thus saith Jehovah, that created thee, O Jacob, and he that formed thee, O Israel: Fear not, for I have redeemed thee, I have called [thee] by thy name; thou art mine.  

 

 

--

2


 

  When thou passest through the waters, I [will be] with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee; when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned, neither shall the flame kindle upon thee.  

 

 

--

3


 

  For I [am] Jehovah thy God, the Holy One of Israel, thy Saviour: I gave Egypt for thy ransom, Ethiopia and Seba for thee.  

 

 

--

4


 

  Since thou wast precious in my sight, thou hast been honourable, and I have loved thee; and I will give men for thee, and peoples for thy life.  

 

 

--

5


 

  Fear not, for I [am] with thee: I will bring thy seed from the east, and gather thee from the west;  

 

 

--

6


 

  I will say to the north, Give up; and to the south, Keep not back: bring my sons from afar, and my daughters from the end of the earth,  

 

 

--

7


 

  every one that is called by my name, and whom I have created for my glory: I have formed him, yea, I have made him.  

 

 

--

8


 

  Bring forth the blind people that have eyes, and the deaf that have ears.  

 

 

--

9


 

  Let all the nations be gathered together, and let the peoples be assembled: who among them declareth this, or causeth us to hear former things? let them bring forth their witnesses, that they may be justified; or let them hear, and say, [It is] truth.  

 

 

--

10


 

  Ye are my witnesses, saith Jehovah, and my servant whom I have chosen; that ye may know and believe me, and understand that I [am] HE: before me there was no łGod formed, neither shall there be after me.  

 

 

--

11


 

  I, I [am] Jehovah; and besides me there is no saviour.  

 

 

--

12


 

  It is I that have declared, and have saved, and have shewed, when there was no strange [god] among you; and ye are my witnesses, saith Jehovah, that I [am] łGod.  

 

 

--

13


 

  Yea, since the day was, I [am] HE, and there is none that delivereth out of my hand: I will work, and who shall hinder it?  

 

 

--

14


 

  Thus saith Jehovah, your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel: For your sake I have sent to Babylon, and have brought all of them down as fugitives, even the Chaldeans, whose cry is in the ships.  

 

 

--

15


 

  I [am] Jehovah, your Holy One, the Creator of Israel, your King.  

 

 

--

16


 

  Thus saith Jehovah, who maketh a way in the sea, and a path in the mighty waters,  

 

 

--

17


 

  who bringeth forth chariot and horse, army and power -- they lie down together, they shall not rise; they are extinct, they are quenched as tow:  

 

 

--

18


 

  -- Remember not the former things, neither consider the ancient things:  

 

 

--

19


 

  behold, I do a new thing; now it shall spring forth: shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, rivers in the waste.  

 

 

--

20


 

  The beast of the field shall glorify me, the jackals and the ostriches; for I will give waters in the wilderness, rivers in the waste, to give drink to my people, my chosen.  

 

 

--

21


 

  This people have I formed for myself: they shall shew forth my praise.  

 

 

--

22


 

  -- But thou hast not called upon me, Jacob; for thou hast been weary of me, O Israel:  

 

 

--

23


 

  thou hast not brought me the small cattle of thy burnt-offerings, neither hast thou glorified me with thy sacrifices. I have not caused thee to toil with an oblation, nor wearied thee with incense.  

 

 

--

24


 

  Thou hast bought me no sweet cane with money, neither hast thou filled me with the fat of thy sacrifices; but thou hast made me to toil with thy sins, thou hast wearied me with thine iniquities.  

 

 

--

25


 

  -- I, I [am] He that blotteth out thy transgressions for mine own sake, and I will not remember thy sins.  

 

 

--

26


 

  Put me in remembrance, let us plead together; rehearse thine own [cause], that thou mayest be justified.  

 

 

--

27


 

  Thy first father hath sinned, and thy mediators have rebelled against me.  

 

 

--

28


 

  And I have profaned the princes of the sanctuary, and have given Jacob to the ban, and Israel to reproaches.
