The Redeemer of Israel

# Chapter 43
|
|
1. But now, thus says the Lord, who created you, O Jacob,
|
|
And He who formed you, O Israel:
|
|
"Fear not, for I have redeemed you;
|
|
I have called you by your name;
|
|
You are Mine.
|
|
|
|
2. When you pass through the waters, I will be with you;
|
|
And through the rivers, they shall not overflow you.
|
|
When you walk through the fire, you shall not be burned,
|
|
Nor shall the flame scorch you.
|
|
|
|
3. For I am the Lord your God,
|
|
The Holy One of Israel, your Savior;
|
|
I gave Egypt for your ransom,
|
|
Ethiopia and Seba in your place.
|
|
|
|
4. Since you were precious in My sight,
|
|
You have been honored,
|
|
And I have loved you;
|
|
Therefore I will give men for you,
|
|
And people for your life.
|
|
|
|
5. Fear not, for I am with you;
|
|
I will bring your descendants from the east,
|
|
And gather you from the west;
|
|
|
|
6. I will say to the north, 'Give them up!'
|
|
And to the south, 'Do not keep them back!'
|
|
Bring My sons from afar,
|
|
And My daughters from the ends of the earth--
|
|
|
|
7. Everyone who is called by My name,
|
|
Whom I have created for My glory;
|
|
I have formed him, yes, I have made him."
|
|
|
|
8. Bring out the blind people who have eyes,
|
|
And the deaf who have ears.
|
|
|
|
9. Let all the nations be gathered together,
|
|
And let the people be assembled.
|
|
Who among them can declare this,
|
|
And show us former things?
|
|
Let them bring out their witnesses, that they may be justified;
|
|
Or let them hear and say, "It is truth."
|
|
|
|
10. "You are My witnesses," says the Lord,
|
|
"And My servant whom I have chosen,
|
|
That you may know and believe Me,
|
|
And understand that I am He.
|
|
Before Me there was no God formed,
|
|
Nor shall there be after Me.
|
|
|
|
11. I, even I, am the Lord,
|
|
And besides Me there is no savior.
|
|
|
|
12. I have declared and saved,
|
|
I have proclaimed,
|
|
And there was no foreign god among you;
|
|
Therefore you are My witnesses,"
|
|
Says the Lord, "that I am God.
|
|
|
|
13. Indeed before the day was, I am He;
|
|
And there is no one who can deliver out of My hand;
|
|
I work, and who will reverse it?"
|
|
|
|
14. Thus says the Lord, your Redeemer,
|
|
The Holy One of Israel:
|
|
"For your sake I will send to Babylon,
|
|
And bring them all down as fugitives--
|
|
The Chaldeans, who rejoice in their ships.
|
|
|
|
15. I am the Lord, your Holy One,
|
|
The Creator of Israel, your King."
|
|
|
|
16. Thus says the Lord, who makes a way in the sea
|
|
And a path through the mighty waters,
|
|
|
|
17. Who brings forth the chariot and horse,
|
|
The army and the power
|
|
(They shall lie down together, they shall not rise;
|
|
They are extinguished, they are quenched like a wick):
|
|
|
|
18. "Do not remember the former things,
|
|
Nor consider the things of old.
|
|
|
|
19. Behold, I will do a new thing,
|
|
Now it shall spring forth;
|
|
Shall you not know it?
|
|
I will even make a road in the wilderness
|
|
And rivers in the desert.
|
|
|
|
20. The beast of the field will honor Me,
|
|
The jackals and the ostriches,
|
|
Because I give waters in the wilderness
|
|
And rivers in the desert,
|
|
To give drink to My people, My chosen.
|
|
|
|
21. This people I have formed for Myself;
|
|
They shall declare My praise.Pleading with Unfaithful Israel
|
|
|
|
22. "But you have not called upon Me, O Jacob;
|
|
And you have been weary of Me, O Israel.
|
|
|
|
23. You have not brought Me the sheep for your burnt offerings,
|
|
Nor have you honored Me with your sacrifices.
|
|
I have not caused you to serve with grain offerings,
|
|
Nor wearied you with incense.
|
|
|
|
24. You have bought Me no sweet cane with money,
|
|
Nor have you satisfied Me with the fat of your sacrifices;
|
|
But you have burdened Me with your sins,
|
|
You have wearied Me with your iniquities.
|
|
|
|
25. "I, even I, am He who blots out your transgressions for My own sake;
|
|
And I will not remember your sins.
|
|
|
|
26. Put Me in remembrance;
|
|
Let us contend together;
|
|
State your case, that you may be acquitted.
|
|
|
|
27. Your first father sinned,
|
|
And your mediators have transgressed against Me.
|
|
|
|
28. Therefore I will profane the princes of the sanctuary;
|
|
I will give Jacob to the curse,
|
|
And Israel to reproaches.
|
