and the flame shall not consume you.

10 # Isa 41.4; 42.1; 44.6, 8 You are my witnesses, says the Lord,
and my servant whom I have chosen,
so that you may know and believe me
and understand that I am he.

and besides me there is no savior.

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 lamentation.#43.14 Meaning of Heb uncertain

who makes a way in the sea,
a path in the mighty waters,

and rivers in the desert.

the jackals and the ostriches,
for I give water in the wilderness,
rivers in the desert,
to give drink to my chosen people,

so that they might declare my praise.

but you have been weary of me, O Israel!

who blots out your transgressions for my own sake,

set forth your case, so that you may be proved right.

and your mediators rebelled against me.
