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.

Isaias (Isaiah) 43
43
1AND now thus saith the Lord that created thee, O Jacob, and formed thee, O Israel: Fear not, for I have redeemed thee, and called thee by thy name. Thou art mine.
2When thou shalt pass through the waters, I will be with thee: and the rivers shall not cover thee. When thou shalt walk in the fire, thou shalt not be burnt: and the flames shall not burn in thee.
3For I am the Lord thy God, the Holy One of Israel, thy Saviour: I have given Egypt for thy atonement, Ethiopia and Saba for thee.
4Since thou becamest honourable in my eyes, thou art glorious. I have loved thee: and I will give men for thee, and people for thy life.
5Fear not, for I am with thee. I will bring thy seed from the east, and gather thee from the west.
6I will say to the north: Give up. And to the south: Keep not back: bring my sons from afar, and my daughters from the ends of the earth.
7And every one that calleth upon my name, I have created him for my glory: I have formed him: and made him.
8Bring forth the people that are blind, and have eyes: that are deaf, and have ears.
9All the nations are assembled together and the tribes are gathered. Who among you can declare this, and shall make us hear the former things? Let them bring forth their witnesses, let them be justified, and hear, and say: It is truth.
10You are my witnesses, saith the Lord, and my servant whom I have chosen: that you may know and believe me, and understand that I myself am. Before me there was no God formed: and after me there shall be none.
11I am, I am, the Lord: and there is no saviour besides me.
12I have declared and have saved. I have made it heard, and there was no strange one among you. You are my witnesses, saith the Lord: and I am God.
13And from the beginning I am the same: and there is none that can deliver out of my hand. I will work, and who shall turn it away?
14Thus saith the Lord your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel: For your sake I sent to Babylon; and have brought down all their bars and the Chaldeans glorying in their ships.
15I am the Lord, your Holy One, the Creator of Israel, your King.
16Thus saith the Lord, who made a way in the sea and a path in the mighty waters:
17Who brought forth the chariot and the horse, the army and the strong. They lay down to sleep together, and they shall not rise again: they are broken as flax and are extinct.
18Remember not former things, and look not on things of old.
19Behold, I do new things, and now they shall spring forth, verily, you shall know them: I will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert.
20The beast of the field shall glorify me, the dragons and the ostriches: because I have given waters in the wilderness, rivers in the desert, to give drink to my people, to my chosen.
21This people have I formed for myself: they shall shew forth my praise.
22 But thou hast not called upon me, O Jacob: neither hast thou laboured about me, O Israel.
23Thou hast not offered me the ram of thy holocaust, nor hast thou glorified me with thy victims. I have not caused thee to serve with oblations, nor wearied thee with incense.
24Thou hast bought me no sweet cane with money: neither hast thou filled me with the fat of thy victims. But thou hast made me to serve with thy sins: thou hast wearied me with thy iniquities.
25I am, I am he that blot out thy iniquities for my own sake: and I will not remember thy sins.
26Put me in remembrance, and let us plead together: tell if thou hast any thing to justify thyself.
27Thy first father sinned: and thy teachers have transgressed against me.
28And I have profaned the holy princes: I have given Jacob to slaughter and Israel to reproach.
