Isaiah 43
43
The Redeemer of Israel
1#Isa 43:7; 44:2 But now, thus says the Lord
who created you, O Jacob,
and He who formed you, O Israel:
Do not fear, for I have redeemed you;
I have called you by your name; you are Mine.
2#Ps 66:12; Da 3:25–27 When you pass through waters,
I will be with you.
And through the rivers,
they shall not overflow you.
When you walk through the fire,
you shall not be burned,
nor shall the flame kindle on you.
3#Ex 20:2; Pr 21:18 For I am the Lord your God,
the Holy One of Israel, your Savior;
I gave Egypt for your ransom,
Ethiopia and Seba in your place.
4#Ex 19:5–6 Since you were precious in My sight, you have been honorable,
and I have loved you;
therefore, I will give men for you,
and people for your life.
5#Isa 49:12; 44:2 Do not fear, for I am with you;
I will bring your descendants from the east,
and gather you from the west;
6I will say to the north, “Give them up,”
and to the south, “Do not keep them back.
Bring My sons from afar,
and My daughters from the ends of the earth,
7#Ps 100:3; Isa 43:1 even everyone who is called by My name,
for I have created him for My glory;
I have formed him, and I have made him.”
8#Isa 6:9; Eze 12:2 Bring forth the blind people who have eyes,
and the deaf who have ears.
9#Isa 41:1; 43:26 Let all the nations be gathered together,
and let the people be assembled.
Who among them can declare this,
and show us former things?
Let them bring their witnesses, that they may be justified;
or let them hear and say, “It is true.”
10#Isa 41:4; 42:1 You are My witnesses, says the Lord,
and My servant whom I have chosen
that you may know and believe Me,
and understand that I am He.
Before Me there was no God formed,
nor shall there be after Me.
11#Hos 13:4; Dt 6:4 I, even I, am the Lord,
and besides Me there is no savior.
12#Dt 32:12; Isa 43:10 I have declared, and have saved, and I have shown,
when there was no strange god among you;
therefore, you are My witnesses, says the Lord, that I am God.
13#Ps 90:2; Job 9:12 Indeed, from eternity I am He;
there is no one who can deliver out of My hand;
I act, and who can reverse it?
14#Isa 23:13 Thus says the Lord,
your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel:
For your sake I have sent to Babylon,
and have brought down all their nobles, and the Chaldeans,
into the ships in which they rejoice.
15#Isa 43:1 I am the Lord, your Holy One,
the Creator of Israel, your King.
16#Ps 77:19; Isa 51:10 Thus says the Lord,
who makes a way in the sea
and a path in the mighty waters,
17#Isa 1:31; Ex 14:4–9 who brings forth the chariot and horse,
the army and the mighty men
(they shall lie down together, they shall not rise;
they are extinguished, they are quenched like a wick):
18#Isa 65:17 Do not remember the former things
nor consider the things of old.
19#Ex 17:6; Nu 20:11 See, I will do a new thing,
now it shall spring forth; shall you not be aware of it?
I will even make a way in the wilderness,
and rivers in the desert.
20#Isa 48:21; 13:22 The beast of the field shall honor Me,
the jackals and the owls,
because I give waters in the wilderness,
and rivers in the desert,
to give drink to My people, My chosen ones.
21#1Pe 2:9; Ps 102:18 This people I have formed for Myself;
they shall declare My praise.
Pleading With Israel
22#Mic 6:3; Mal 1:13 But you have not called upon Me, O Jacob;
but you have been weary of Me, O Israel.
23#Am 5:25; Zec 7:5–6 You have not brought Me the sheep for your burnt offerings,
nor have you honored Me with your sacrifices.
I have not burdened you with offerings,
nor wearied you with incense.
24#Isa 1:14; 7:13 You have bought Me no sweet cane with money,
nor have you filled Me with the fat of your sacrifices;
but you have made Me burdened with your sins;
you have wearied Me with your iniquities.
25#Isa 37:35; 44:22 I, even I, am He who blots out
your transgressions for My own sake,
and will not remember your sins.
26#Isa 1:18; 43:9 Put Me in remembrance;
let us plead together;
state your cause, that you may be justified.
27#Jer 5:31; Isa 28:7 Your first father has sinned,
and your teachers have transgressed against Me.
28#Jer 24:9; Ps 79:4 Therefore, I have profaned the princes of the sanctuary,
and have given Jacob to the curse,
and Israel to reproaches.

Isaiah 43
43
1But now thus says the Lord,
he who created you, O Jacob,
he who formed you, O Israel:
“Fear not, for I have redeemed you;
I have called you by name, you are mine.
2When you pass through the waters I will be with you;
and through the rivers, they shall not overwhelm you;
when you walk through fire you shall not be burned,
and the flame shall not consume you.
3For I am the Lord your God,
the Holy One of Israel, your Savior.
I give Egypt as your ransom,
Ethiopia and Seba in exchange for you.
4Because you are precious in my eyes,
and honored, and I love you,
I give men in return for you,
peoples in exchange for your life.
5 #
Acts 18.10. Fear not, for I am with you;
I will bring your offspring from the east,
and from the west I will gather you;
6I will say to the north, Give up,
and to the south, Do not withhold;
bring my sons from afar
and my daughters from the end of the earth,
7every one who is called by my name,
whom I created for my glory,
whom I formed and made.”
8Bring forth the people who are blind, yet have eyes,
who are deaf, yet have ears!
9Let all the nations gather together,
and let the peoples assemble.
Who among them can declare this,
and show us the former things?
Let them bring their witnesses to justify them,
and let them hear and say, It is true.
10“You are my witnesses,” says the Lord,
“and my servant whom I have chosen,
that you may know and believe me
and understand that I am He.
Before me no god was formed,
nor shall there be any after me.
11I, I am the Lord,
and besides me there is no savior.
12I declared and saved and proclaimed,
when there was no strange god among you;
and you are my witnesses,” says the Lord.
13“I am God, and also henceforth I am He;
there is none who can deliver from my hand;
I work and who can hinder it?”
14Thus says the Lord,
your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel:
“For your sake I will send to Babylon
and break down all the bars,
and the shouting of the Chaldeans will be turned to lamentations.#43.14 Heb obscure
15I am the Lord, your Holy One,
the Creator of Israel, your King.”
16Thus says the Lord,
who makes a way in the sea,
a path in the mighty waters,
17who brings forth chariot and horse,
army and warrior;
they lie down, they cannot rise,
they are extinguished, quenched like a wick:
18“Remember not the former things,
nor consider the things of old.
19Behold, I am doing a new thing;
now it springs forth, do you not perceive it?
I will make a way in the wilderness
and rivers in the desert.
20The wild beasts will honor me,
the jackals and the ostriches;
for I give water in the wilderness,
rivers in the desert,
to give drink to my chosen people,
21the people whom I formed for myself
that they might declare my praise.
22“Yet you did not call upon me, O Jacob;
but you have been weary of me, O Israel!
23You have not brought me your sheep for burnt offerings,
or honored me with your sacrifices.
I have not burdened you with offerings,
or wearied you with frankincense.
24You have not bought me sweet cane with money,
or satisfied me with the fat of your sacrifices.
But you have burdened me with your sins,
you have wearied me with your iniquities.
25“I, I am He
who blots out your transgressions for my own sake,
and I will not remember your sins.
26Put me in remembrance, let us argue together;
set forth your case, that you may be proved right.
27Your first father sinned,
and your mediators transgressed against me.
28Therefore I profaned the princes of the sanctuary,
I delivered Jacob to utter destruction
and Israel to reviling.
