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
43
CHAPTER 43
1And now the Lord God, making of nought thee, Jacob, and forming thee, Israel, saith these things, Do not thou dread, for I again-bought thee, and I called thee by thy name; thou art my servant.
2When thou shalt go by waters, I shall be with thee, and floods shall not cover thee; when thou shalt go in fire, thou shalt not be burnt, and flame shall not burn in thee.
3For I am thy Lord God, the Holy of Israel, thy saviour. I gave thy mercy Egypt; Ethiopia, and Seba, for thee.
4Since thou art made honourable, and glorious in mine eyes; I loved thee, and I shall give men for thee, and peoples for thy soul.
5Do not thou dread, for I am with thee; I shall bring thy seed from the east, and I shall gather thee together from the west.
6I shall say to the north, Give thou, and to the south, Do not thou forbid; bring thou my sons from afar, and my daughters from the last parts of [the] earth.
7And each that calleth my name to help, into my glory I made him of nought; I formed him, and made him.
8Lead thou forth the blind people, and having eyes; the deaf people, and ears be to it.
9All heathen men be gathered together, and lineages be gathered together. Who among you, who shall tell this, and shall make you to hear those things, that be the first? give they [the] witnesses of them, and be they justified, and hear they, and say.
10Verily ye be my witnesses, saith the Lord, and my servants, whom I chose; that ye know, and believe to me, and understand, for I myself am; before me is no God former [or before me is not formed God], and after me shall none be.
11I am, I am the Lord, and without me is no Saviour [or and there is not without me a saviour].
12I told, and saved; I made hearing, and none alien God was among you. Ye be my witnesses, saith the Lord; and I am God,
13from the beginning, I myself am, and none there is that delivereth from mine hand; I shall work, and who shall destroy it?
14The Lord, your again-buyer, the Holy of Israel, saith these things, For you I sent out into Babylon, and I drew down all [the] bars, and [the] Chaldees having glory in their ships.
15I am the Lord, your Holy, your king, making Israel of nought.
16The Lord saith these things, that gave [a] way in the sea, and a path in running waters;
17which led out a cart, and horse, a company, and strong man; they slept together, neither they shall rise again; they be all-broken as flax, and be quenched.
18Think ye not on the former things, and behold ye not old things.
19Lo! I make new things, and now those shall begin to be made; soothly ye shall know them. I shall set [a] way in desert, and floods in a land without a way.
20And a beast of the field shall glorify me, dragons and ostriches shall glorify me; for I gave waters in desert, and floods in the land without a way, that I should give drink to my people, to my chosen people.
21I formed this people to me, it shall tell my praising.
22Jacob, thou calledest not me to help; and thou, Israel, travailedest not for me.
23Thou offeredest not to me the ram of thy burnt sacrifice, and thou glorifiedest not me with thy slain sacrifices. I made not thee to serve in offering, neither I gave to thee travail in incense.
24Thou boughtest not to me sweet smelling spicery for silver, and thou filledest not me with [the] fatness of thy slain sacrifices; nevertheless thou madest me to serve in thy sins, thou gavest travail to me in thy wicked-nesses.
25I am, I myself am, that do away thy wickednesses for me, and I shall not have mind on thy sins.
26Bring me again into mind, and be we deemed together; tell thou, if thou hast anything, that thou be justified.
27Thy first father sinned, and thine interpreters trespassed against me.
28And I made foul holy princes, and I gave Jacob to death, and Israel into blasphemy.
