23_ISA_43_01 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.
23_ISA_43_02 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.
23_ISA_43_03 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.
23_ISA_43_04 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.
23_ISA_43_05 Fear not: for I [ am] with thee: I will bring thy seed from the east, And gather thee from the west;
23_ISA_43_06 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;
23_ISA_43_07 [ 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.
23_ISA_43_08 bring forth the blind people that have eyes, And the deaf that have ears.
23_ISA_43_09 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 forth their witnesses, that they may be justified: or let them hear, And say, [ it Is] truth.
23_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.
23_ISA_43_11 I, [ even] I, [ am] the LORD; And beside me [ there Is] no Saviour.
23_ISA_43_12 I have declared, And have saved, And I have showed, when [ there was] no strange [ God] among you: therefore ye [ are] my witnesses, saith the LORD, that I [ am] God.
23_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?
23_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.
23_ISA_43_15 I [ am] the LORD, your holy one, the Creator of Israel, your king.
23_ISA_43_16 thus saith the LORD, which maketh A way in the sea, And A path in the mighty waters;
23_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.
23_ISA_43_18 Remember ye not the former things, neither consider the things of old.
23_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.
23_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.
23_ISA_43_21 this people have I formed for myself; they shall show forth my praise.
23_ISA_43_22 but thou hast not called upon me, O Jacob; but thou hast been weary of me, O Israel.
23_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.
23_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.
23_ISA_43_25 I, [ even] I, [ am] he that blotteth out thy transgressions for mine own sake, And will not Remember thy sins.
23_ISA_43_26 put me in remembrance: let us plead together: declare thou, that thou mayest be justified.
23_ISA_43_27 thy first Father hath sinned, And thy teachers have transgressed against me.
23_ISA_43_28 therefore I have profaned the princes of the sanctuary, And have given Jacob to the curse, And Israel to reproaches.
