43:1 But
now
thus
says
the
LORD,
he
who
created
you,
O
Jacob,
he
who
formed
you,
O
Israel:
"Fear
not,
for
I
have
redeemed
you;
I
have
called
you
by
name,
you
are
mine.
43:2 When
you
pass
through
the
waters,
I
will
be
with
you;
and
through
the
rivers,
they
shall
not
overwhelm
you;
when
you
walk
through
fire
you
shall
not
be
burned,
and
the
flame
shall
not
consume
you.
43:3 For
I
am
the
LORD
your
God,
the
Holy
One
of
Israel,
your
Savior.
I
give
Egypt
as
your
ransom,
Cush
and
Seba
in
exchange
for
you.
43:4 Because
you
are
precious
in
my
eyes,
and
honored,
and
I
love
you,
I
give
men
in
return
for
you,
peoples
in
exchange
for
your
life.
43:5 Fear
not,
for
I
am
with
you;
I
will
bring
your
offspring
from
the
east,
and
from
the
west
I
will
gather
you.
43:6 I
will
say
to
the
north,
Give
up,
and
to
the
south,
Do
not
withhold;
bring
my
sons
from
afar
and
my
daughters
from
the
end
of
the
earth,
43:7 everyone
who
is
called
by
my
name,
whom
I
created
for
my
glory,
whom
I
formed
and
made."
43:8 Bring
out
the
people
who
are
blind,
yet
have
eyes,
who
are
deaf,
yet
have
ears!
43:9 All
the
nations
gather
together,
and
the
peoples
assemble.
Who
among
them
can
declare
this,
and
show
us
the
former
things
Let
them
bring
their
witnesses
to
prove
them
right,
and
let
them
hear
and
say,
It
is
true.
43:10 "You
are
my
witnesses,"
declares
the
LORD,
"and
my
servant
whom
I
have
chosen,
that
you
may
know
and
believe
me
and
understand
that
I
am
he.
Before
me
no
god
was
formed,
nor
shall
there
be
any
after
me.
43:11 I,
I
am
the
LORD,
and
besides
me
there
is
no
savior.
43:12 I
declared
and
saved
and
proclaimed,
when
there
was
no
strange
god
among
you;
and
you
are
my
witnesses,"
declares
the
LORD,
"and
I
am
God.
43:13 Also
henceforth
I
am
he;
there
is
none
who
can
deliver
from
my
hand;
I
work,
and
who
can
turn
it
back"
43:14 Thus
says
the
LORD,
your
Redeemer,
the
Holy
One
of
Israel:
"For
your
sake
I
send
to
Babylon
and
bring
them
all
down
as
fugitives,
even
the
Chaldeans,
in
the
ships
in
which
they
rejoice.
43:15 I
am
the
LORD,
your
Holy
One,
the
Creator
of
Israel,
your
King."
43:16 Thus
says
the
LORD,
who
makes
a
way
in
the
sea,
a
path
in
the
mighty
waters,
43:17 who
brings
forth
chariot
and
horse,
army
and
warrior;
they
lie
down,
they
cannot
rise,
they
are
extinguished,
quenched
like
a
wick:
43:18 "Remember
not
the
former
things,
nor
consider
the
things
of
old.
43:19 Behold,
I
am
doing
a
new
thing;
now
it
springs
forth,
do
you
not
perceive
it
I
will
make
a
way
in
the
wilderness
and
rivers
in
the
desert.
43:20 The
wild
beasts
will
honor
me,
the
jackals
and
the
ostriches,
for
I
give
water
in
the
wilderness,
rivers
in
the
desert,
to
give
drink
to
my
chosen
people,
43:21 the
people
whom
I
formed
for
myself
that
they
might
declare
my
praise.
43:22 "Yet
you
did
not
call
upon
me,
O
Jacob;
but
you
have
been
weary
of
me,
O
Israel!
43:23 You
have
not
brought
me
your
sheep
for
burnt
offerings,
or
honored
me
with
your
sacrifices.
I
have
not
burdened
you
with
offerings,
or
wearied
you
with
frankincense.
43:24 You
have
not
bought
me
sweet
cane
with
money,
or
satisfied
me
with
the
fat
of
your
sacrifices.
But
you
have
burdened
me
with
your
sins;
you
have
wearied
me
with
your
iniquities.
43:25 "I,
I
am
he
who
blots
out
your
transgressions
for
my
own
sake,
and
I
will
not
remember
your
sins.
43:26 Put
me
in
remembrance;
let
us
argue
together;
set
forth
your
case,
that
you
may
be
proved
right.
43:27 Your
first
father
sinned,
and
your
mediators
transgressed
against
me.
43:28 Therefore
I
will
profane
the
princes
of
the
sanctuary,
and
deliver
Jacob
to
utter
destruction
and
Israel
to
reviling.
