Isaiah 43
43
Love for Israel
1But now, thus says Adonai— the One who created you, O Jacob, the One 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, or through the rivers, they will not overflow you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned, nor will the flame burn you.
3For I am Adonai your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior. I have given Egypt as your ransom, Ethiopia and Seba in your place.
4Since you are precious in My eyes, honored, because I love you, I will give a man in exchange for you, and other peoples for your life.
5Do not fear, for I am with you. I will bring your offspring from the east and gather you from the west.
6I will say to the north, ‘Give them up!’ and to the south, ‘Do not hold them back.’ Bring My sons from far and My daughters from the ends of the earth.
7Everyone who is called by My Name, whom I created for My glory. I formed him—yes, I made him!”
You Are My Witnesses
8Bring out the people who are blind, yet have eyes, who are deaf, yet have ears.
9All the nations are gathered together, and the peoples are assembled. Who among them can declare this, and proclaim to us former things? Let them present their witnesses so they may be justified, or let them hear and say, “It’s true.”
10“You are My witnesses” —it is a declaration of Adonai— “and My Servant whom I have chosen, so that you may know and believe Me, and understand that I am He. Before Me no God was formed, and there will none after Me.
11“I, I am Adonai— and there is no savior beside Me.
12I alone declared, saved and proclaimed, and not some foreign god among you. So you are My witnesses” —it is a declaration of Adonai— “and I am God.
13From eternity, I am He. None can deliver from My hand. I act, and who can reverse it?”
14Thus says Adonai, your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel: “For your sake I will send to Babylon and bring down the fleeing Chaldeans, all of them, in the ships in which they exult.
15I am Adonai, your Holy One, the Creator of Israel, your King.”
16Thus says Adonai, who makes a way in the sea and a path in the mighty waters.
17who drew out chariots and horses, the army and the warrior (they will lie down together, and not rise again; they are extinguished— quenched like a wick):
18“Do not remember former things, nor consider things of the past.
19Here I am, doing a new thing; Now it is springing up— do you not know about it? I will surely make a way in the desert, rivers in the wasteland.
20The field animals honor Me —the jackals and the ostriches— because I give waters in the desert, rivers in the wilderness, to give drink to My chosen people,
21the people I formed for Myself, so they might declare My praise.
22Yet you have not called on Me, Jacob, for you have been weary of Me, Israel.
23You have not brought Me sheep for your burnt offerings; nor have you honored Me with your sacrifices. I did not compel you to serve offerings nor wearied you with incense.
24You have not spent money buying Me aromatic cane, nor have you satisfied Me with the fat of your sacrifices. Rather you burdened Me with your sins, wearied Me with your iniquities.
25I, I am the One who blots out your transgressions for My own sake, and will not remember your sins.
26Remind me, when we argue our case together—state your case, so you may be proved right.
27Your first father sinned, and your mediators rebelled against Me.
28So I profaned the Sanctuary officials, and gave Jacob over to destruction, and Israel to scorn.

Isaiah 43

Isaiah 43
1¶ But now thus saith the Lord that created thee, O Jacob, and he that formed thee, O Israel, Do not fear, for I have redeemed thee, I have named thee; Thou art mine.
2When thou dost pass through the waters, I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee; when thou dost walk through the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee.
3For I am the Lord thy God, the Holy One of Israel, thy Keeper; I gave Egypt for thy ransom, Ethiopia and Seba for thee.
4Because thou wast precious in my sight, thou wast worthy of honour, and I have loved thee.
5Do not fear; for I am with thee: I will bring thy generation from the east and gather thee from the west;
6I will say to the north wind, Give up, and to the south, Do not keep back; bring my sons from far and my daughters from the ends of the earth
7 even every one that is called by my name, for I have created them for my glory; I have formed them; yea, I have made them.
8¶ Bring forth the people that is blind that have eyes and the deaf that have ears.
9Let all the Gentiles be gathered together as one, and let the peoples be joined; who among them can declare this and show us former things? Let them bring forth their witnesses that they may be justified or let them hear and say, It is truth.
10Ye are my witnesses, saith the Lord, and my slave whom I have chosen that ye may know and believe me and understand that I am he; before me there was no God formed, neither shall there be after me.
11I, even I, am the Lord; and beside me there is no saviour.
12I have declared and have saved, and I have showed when there was no strange god among you; therefore ye are my witnesses, saith the Lord, that I am God.
13Even before the day was I existed; and there is no one that can deliver out of my hand; if I work, who shall hinder it?
14¶ Thus saith the Lord, your redeemer, the Holy One of Israel; For your sake I have sent to Babylon and caused fugitives to descend unto all of them and the clamour of Chaldeans in the ships.
15I am the Lord, your Holy One, the creator of Israel, your King.
16Thus saith the Lord, who makes a way in the sea and a path in the mighty waters;
17 when he brings forth the chariot and horse, the army and the power; they shall fall together, and never rise; they are extinct; they are quenched as wick.
18Do not remember the former things, nor consider the things of old.
19Behold, I will do a new thing; it shall come to light quickly; shall ye not know it? I will again make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert.
20The beast of the field shall honour me, the dragons and the owls because I give waters in the wilderness and rivers in the desert to give drink to my people, my chosen.
21This people I have formed for myself; they shall show forth my praise.
22¶ But thou hast not called upon me, O Jacob; but thou hast been weary of me, O Israel.
23Thou hast not brought me the animals of thy burnt offerings; neither hast thou honoured me with thy sacrifices. I have not caused thee to serve with an offering, nor wearied thee with incense.
24Thou 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 serve with thy sins; thou hast wearied me with thine iniquities.
25I, even I, am he that uproots thy rebellions for mine own sake and will not remember thy sins.
26Cause me to remember; let us enter into judgment together; declare, thou, that it may be put to thy account.
27Thy first father sinned, and thy teachers have transgressed against me.
28Therefore I have profaned the princes of the sanctuary and have set up Jacob as anathema, and Israel as a reproach.
