CHAPTER 43
But now thus saith the L
ORD
that created thee, O Jacob, and he that formed thee, O Israel, Fear not:
for I have redeemed thee, I have called
thee
by thy name; thou
art
mine.
2
When thou passest
through the waters, I
will be
with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when
thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee.
3
For I
am
the L
ORD
thy God, the Holy One of Israel, thy Saviour: I gave Egypt
for
thy ransom,
Ethiopia and Seba for thee.
4
Since thou wast precious in my sight, thou hast been honourable, and
I have loved thee: therefore will I give men for thee, and people for thy life.
5
Fear not: for I
am
with thee: I will bring thy seed from the east, and gather thee from the west;
6
I will say to the north,
Give up; and to the south, Keep not 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 him for my glory, I
have formed him; yea, I have made him.
8
Bring forth the blind people that have eyes, and the deaf that have ears.
9
Let all the nations
be gathered together, and let the people be assembled: who among them can declare this, and shew
us former things? let them bring forth their witnesses, that they may be justified: or let them hear,
and say,
It is
truth.
10
Ye
are
my witnesses, saith the L
ORD
, and my servant 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.
11
I,
even
I,
am
the L
ORD
; and beside me
there is
no saviour.
12
I
have declared, and have saved, and I have shewed, when
there was
no strange
god
among you:
therefore ye
are
my witnesses, saith the L
ORD
, that I
am
God.
13
Yea, before the day
was
I
am
he;
and
there is
none that can deliver out of my hand: I will work, and who shall let it?
14
Thus saith the L
ORD
, 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, whose cry
is
in the ships.
15
I
am
the L
ORD
, your Holy One, the creator of Israel, your King.
16
Thus saith the L
ORD
, which maketh
a way in the sea, and a path in the mighty waters;
17
Which bringeth forth the chariot and horse,
the army and the power; they shall lie down together, they shall not rise: they are extinct, they are
quenched as tow.
18
Remember ye not the former things, neither consider the things of old.
19
Behold, I will do a
new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness,
and
rivers in the desert.
20
The 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.
21
This people have I formed for myself; they shall shew forth my praise.
22
But thou hast not called upon me, O Jacob; but thou hast been weary of me, O Israel.
23
Thou
hast not brought me the small cattle 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.
24
Thou
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.
25
I,
even
I,
am
he that blotteth out thy transgressions for mine own sake, and will not remember thy sins.
