Isaiah 43

1 The LORD comforteth the Church with his promises. 8 He appealeth to the people for witness of his omnipotency. 14 He foretelleth them the destruction of Babylon, 18 and his wonderful deliverance of his people. 22 He reproveth the people as inexcusable.

 43:1 But now 6258, thus 3541 says 559 the LORD 3068, your Creator 1254a, O Jacob 3290, And He who formed 3335 you, O Israel 3478, “Do not fear 3372a, for I have redeemed 1350 you; I have called 7121 you by name 8034; you are Mine!

 43:2 “When 3588 you pass 5674a through the waters 4325, I will be with you; And through the rivers 5104, they will not overflow 7857 you. When 3588 you walk 1980 through 1119 the fire 784, you will not be scorched 3554, Nor 3808 will the flame 3852 burn 1197a you.

 43:3 “For I am the LORD 3068 your God 430, The Holy 6918 One 6918 of Israel 3478, your Savior 3467; I have given 5414 Egypt 4714 as your ransom 3724a, Cush 3568a and Seba 5434 in your place 8478.

 43:4 “Since 4480 834 you are precious 3365 in My sight 5869, [Since] you are honored 3513 and I love 157 you, I will give 5414 [other] men 120 in your place 8478 and [other] peoples 3816 in exchange 8478 for your life 5315.

 43:5 “Do not fear 3372a, for I am with you; I will bring 935 your offspring 2233 from the east 4217, And gather 6908 you from the west 4628.

 43:6 “I will say 559 to the north 6828, ‘Give 5414 [them] up!’ And to the south 8486, ‘Do not hold 3607 [them] back 3607.’ Bring 935 My sons 1121 from afar 7350 And My daughters 1323 from the ends 7097a of the earth 776,

 43:7 Everyone 3605 who is called 7121 by My name 8034, And whom I have created 1254a for My glory 3519b, Whom I have formed 3335, even 637 whom I have made 6213a.”

 43:8 ¶ Bring 3318 out the people 5971a who 5787 are blind 5787, even though they have 3426 eyes 5869, And the deaf 2795, even though they have ears 241.

 43:9 All 3605 the nations 1471 have gathered 6908 together 3164a So that the peoples 3816 may be assembled 622. Who 4310 among them can declare 5046 this 384 And proclaim 8085 to us the former 7223 things 7223? Let them present 5414 their witnesses 5707 that they may be justified 6663, Or let them hear 8085 and say 559, “It is true 571.”

 43:10 “You are My witnesses 5707,” declares 5002 the LORD 3068, “And My servant 5650 whom 834 I have chosen 977, So that you may know 3045 and believe 539 Me And understand 995 that I am He. Before 6440 Me there was no 3808 God 410 formed 3335, And there will be none 3808 after 310 Me.

 43:11 “I, even I, am the LORD 3068, And there 369 is no 369 savior 3467 besides 4480 1107 Me.

 43:12 “It is I who have declared 5046 and saved 3467 and proclaimed 8085, And there 369 was no 369 strange 2114a [god] among you; So you are My witnesses 5707,” declares 5002 the LORD 3068, “And I am God 410.

 43:13 “Even 1571 from eternity 3117 I am He, And there 369 is none 369 who can deliver 5337 out of My hand 3027; I act 6466 and who 4310 can reverse 7725 it?”

 43:14 ¶ Thus 3541 says 559 the LORD 3068 your Redeemer 1350, the Holy 6918 One 6918 of Israel 3478, “For your sake 4616 I have sent 7971 to Babylon 894, And will bring 3381 them all 3605 down 3381 as fugitives 1281, Even the Chaldeans 3778, into the ships 591 in which they rejoice 7440.

 43:15 “I am the LORD 3068, your Holy 6918 One 6918, The Creator 1254a of Israel 3478, your King 4428.”

 43:16 Thus 3541 says 559 the LORD 3068, Who makes 5414 a way 1870 through the sea 3220 And a path 5410b through the mighty 5794 waters 4325,

 43:17 Who brings 3318 forth 3318 the chariot 7393 and the horse 5483b, The army 2428 and the mighty 5808 man 5808 (They will lie 7901 down 7901 together 3164a [and] not rise 6965 again; They have been quenched 3518 [and] extinguished 3518 like a wick 6594):

 43:18 “Do not call 2142 to mind 2142 the former 7223 things 7223, Or ponder 995 things 6931 of the past 6931.

 43:19 “Behold 2009, I will do 6213a something 2319 new 2319, Now 6258 it will spring 6779 forth 6779; Will you not be aware 3045 of it? I will even 637 make 7760 a roadway 1870 in the wilderness 4057b, Rivers 5104 in the desert 3452.

 43:20 “The beasts 2421b of the field 7704 will glorify 3513 Me, The jackals 8565 and the ostriches 3284, Because 3588 I have given 5414 waters 4325 in the wilderness 4057b And rivers 5104 in the desert 3452, To give 8248 drink 8248 to My chosen 972 people 5971a.

 43:21 “The people 5971a whom 2098 I formed 3335 for Myself Will declare 5608 My praise 8416.

 43:22 ¶ “Yet you have not called 7121 on Me, O Jacob 3290; But you have become 3021 weary 3021 of Me, O Israel 3478.

 43:23 “You have not brought 935 to Me the sheep 7716 of your burnt 5930a offerings 5930a, Nor 3808 have you honored 3513 Me with your sacrifices 2077. I have not burdened 5647 you with offerings 4503, Nor 3808 wearied 3021 you with incense 3828.

 43:24 “You have bought 7069 Me not sweet 7070 cane 7070 with money 3701, Nor 3808 have you filled 7301 Me with the fat 2459 of your sacrifices 2077; Rather 389 you have burdened 5647 Me with your sins 2403b, You have wearied 3021 Me with your iniquities 5771.

 43:25 ¶ “I, even I, am the one who wipes 4229a out your transgressions 6588 for My own sake 4616, And I will not remember 2142 your sins 2403b.

 43:26 “Put 2142 Me in remembrance 2142, let us argue 8199 our case 8199 together 3162; State 5608 your [cause], that you may be proved 6663 right 6663.

 43:27 “Your first 7223 forefather 1 sinned 2398, And your spokesmen 3917b have transgressed 6586 against Me.

 43:28 “So I will pollute 2490c the princes 8269 of the sanctuary 6944, And I will consign 5414 Jacob 3290 to the ban 2764a and Israel 3478 to revilement 1421.
