Isaiah 43

1But now thus says the Yahuah that created you, O Jacob, and he that formed you, O Israel, Fear not: for I have redeemed you, I have called by your name; you mine. 2When you passest through the waters, I with you; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow you: when you walkest through the fire, you shall not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon you. 3For I the Yahuah your Elohim, the Holy One of Israel, your Saviour: I gave Egypt your ransom, Ethiopia and Seba for you. 4Since you wast precious in my sight, you hast been honourable, and I have loved you: therefore will I give men for you, and people for your life. 5Fear not: for I with you: I will bring your seed from the east, and gather you from the west; 6I 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; 7every one that is called by my name: for I have created him for my glory, I have formed him; yes, I have made him. 8Bring forth the blind people that have eyes, and the deaf that have ears. 9Let 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, truth. 10Ye my witnesses, says the Yahuah, and my servant whom I have chosen: that ye may know and believe me, and understand that I he: before me there was no Elohim formed, neither shall there be after me. 11I, I, the Yahuah; and beside me no saviour. 12I have declared, and have saved, and I have shewed, when no strange among you: therefore ye my witnesses, says the Yahuah, that I Elohim. 13yes, before the day I he; and none that can deliver out of my hand: I will work, and who shall let it? 14Thus says the Yahuah, 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 in the ships. 15I the Yahuah, your Holy One, the creator of Israel, your King. 16Thus says the Yahuah, which maketh a way in the sea, and a path in the mighty waters; 17Which 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. 18Remember ye not the former things, neither consider the things of old. 19Behold, 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, rivers in the desert. 20The beast of the field shall honour me, the dragons and the owls: because I give waters in the wilderness, rivers in the desert, to give drink to my people, my chosen. 21This people have I formed for myself; they shall shew forth my praise. 22But you hast not called upon me, O Jacob; but you hast been weary of me, O Israel. 23you hast not brought me the small cattle of your burnt offerings; neither hast you honoured me with your sacrifices. I have not caused you to serve with an offering, nor wearied you with incense. 24you hast bought me no sweet cane with money, neither hast you filled me with the fat of your sacrifices: but you hast made me to serve with your sins, you hast wearied me with your iniquities. 25I, I, he that blotteth out your transgressions for mine own sake, and will not remember your sins. 26Put me in remembrance: let us plead together: declare you, that you mayest be justified. 27your first father has sinned, and your teachers have transgressed against me. 28Therefore I have profaned the princes of the sanctuary, and have given Jacob to the curse, and Israel to reproaches.
