(Isa 43:1) But now thus saith the Lord 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.
(Isa 43:2) 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.
(Isa 43:3) For I {am} the Lord thy God, the Holy One of Israel, thy Saviour: I gave Egypt {for} thy ransom, Ethiopia and Seba for thee.
(Isa 43:4) 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.
(Isa 43:5) Fear not: for I {am} with thee: I will bring thy seed from the east, and gather thee from the west;
(Isa 43:6) 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;
(Isa 43:7) {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.
(Isa 43:8) Bring forth the blind people that have eyes, and the deaf that have ears.
(Isa 43:9) 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.
(Isa 43:10) Ye {are} my witnesses, saith the Lord, 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.
(Isa 43:11) I, {even} I, {am} the Lord; and beside me {there is} no saviour.
(Isa 43:12) 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 Lord, that I {am} God.
(Isa 43:13) 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?
(Isa 43:14) Thus saith the Lord, 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.
(Isa 43:15) I {am} the Lord, your Holy One, the creator of Israel, your King.
(Isa 43:16) Thus saith the Lord, which maketh a way in the sea, and a path in the mighty waters;
(Isa 43:17) 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.
(Isa 43:18) Remember ye not the former things, neither consider the things of old.
(Isa 43:19) 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.
(Isa 43:20) 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.
(Isa 43:21) This people have I formed for myself; they shall shew forth my praise.
(Isa 43:22) But thou hast not called upon me, O Jacob; but thou hast been weary of me, O Israel.
(Isa 43:23) 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.
(Isa 43:24) 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.
(Isa 43:25) I, {even} I, {am} he that blotteth out thy transgressions for mine own sake, and will not remember thy sins.
(Isa 43:26) Put me in remembrance: let us plead together: declare thou, that thou mayest be justified.
(Isa 43:27) Thy first father hath sinned, and thy teachers have transgressed against me.
(Isa 43:28) Therefore I have profaned the princes of the sanctuary, and have given Jacob to the curse, and Israel to reproaches.
