1 H559 But now thus saith [H8804] H3068 the LORD H1254 that created [H8802] H3290 thee, O Jacob H3335 , and he that formed [H8802] H3478 thee, O Israel H3372 , Fear [H8799] H1350 not: for I have redeemed [H8804] H7121 thee, I have called [H8804] H8034 thee by thy name; thou art mine.

2 H5674 When thou passest through [H8799] H4325 the waters H5104 , I will be with thee; and through the rivers H7857 , they shall not overflow [H8799] H3212 thee: when thou walkest [H8799] H1119 through H784 the fire H3554 , thou shalt not be burned [H8735] H3852 ; neither shall the flame H1197 kindle [H8799] upon thee.

3 H3068 For I am the LORD H430 thy God H6918 , the Holy One H3478 of Israel H3467 , thy Saviour [H8688] H5414 : I gave [H8804] H4714 Egypt H3724 for thy ransom H3568 , Ethiopia H5434 and Seba for thee.

4 H3365 Since thou wast precious [H8804] H5869 in my sight H3513 , thou hast been honourable [H8738] H157 , and I have loved [H8804] H5414 thee: therefore will I give [H8799] H120 men H3816 for thee, and people H5315 for thy life.

5 H3372 Fear [H8799] H935 not: for I am with thee: I will bring [H8686] H2233 thy seed H4217 from the east H6908 , and gather [H8762] H4628 thee from the west;

6 H559 I will say [H8799] H6828 to the north H5414 , Give up [H8798] H8486 ; and to the south H3607 , Keep not back [H8799] H935 : bring [H8685] H1121 my sons H7350 from far H1323 , and my daughters H7097 from the ends H776 of the earth;

7 H3605 Even every one H7121 that is called [H8737] H8034 by my name H1254 : for I have created [H8804] H3519 him for my glory H3335 , I have formed [H8804] H6213 him; yea, I have made [H8804] him.

8 H3318 Bring forth [H8685] H5787 the blind H5971 people H3426 that have H5869 eyes H2795 , and the deaf H241 that have ears.

9 H1471 Let all the nations H6908 be gathered [H8738] H3162 together H3816 , and let the people H622 be assembled [H8735] H5046 : who among them can declare [H8686] H8085 this, and shew [H8686] H7223 us former things H5414 ? let them bring forth [H8799] H5707 their witnesses H6663 , that they may be justified [H8799] H8085 : or let them hear [H8799] H559 , and say [H8799] H571 , It is truth.

10 H5707 Ye are my witnesses H5002 , saith [H8803] H3068 the LORD H5650 , and my servant H977 whom I have chosen [H8804] H3045 : that ye may know [H8799] H539 and believe [H8686] H995 me, and understand [H8799] H6440 that I am he: before H410 me there was no God H3335 formed [H8738] H310 , neither shall there be after me.

11 H3068 I, even I, am the LORD H1107 ; and beside H3467 me there is no saviour [H8688] .

12 H5046 I have declared [H8689] H3467 , and have saved [H8689] H8085 , and I have shewed [H8689] H2114 , when there was no strange [H8801] H5707 god among you: therefore ye are my witnesses H5002 , saith [H8803] H3068 the LORD H410 , that I am God.

13 H3117 Yea, before the day H5337 was I am he; and there is none that can deliver [H8688] H3027 out of my hand H6466 : I will work [H8799] H7725 , and who shall let [H8686] it?

14 H559 Thus saith [H8804] H3068 the LORD H1350 , your redeemer [H8802] H6918 , the Holy One H3478 of Israel H7971 ; For your sake I have sent [H8765] H894 to Babylon H3381 , and have brought down [H8689] H1281 all their nobles H3778 , and the Chaldeans H7440 , whose cry H591 is in the ships.

15 H3068 I am the LORD H6918 , your Holy One H1254 , the creator [H8802] H3478 of Israel H4428 , your King.

16 H559 Thus saith [H8804] H3068 the LORD H5414 , which maketh [H8802] H1870 a way H3220 in the sea H5410 , and a path H5794 in the mighty H4325 waters;

17 H3318 Which bringeth forth [H8688] H7393 the chariot H5483 and horse H2428 , the army H5808 and the power H7901 ; they shall lie down [H8799] H3162 together H6965 , they shall not rise [H8799] H1846 : they are extinct [H8804] H3518 , they are quenched [H8804] H6594 as tow.

18 H2142 Remember [H8799] H7223 ye not the former things H995 , neither consider [H8709] H6931 the things of old.

19 H6213 Behold, I will do [H8802] H2319 a new thing H6779 ; now it shall spring forth [H8799] H3045 ; shall ye not know [H8799] H7760 it? I will even make [H8799] H1870 a way H4057 in the wilderness H5104 , and rivers H3452 in the desert.

20 H2416 The beast H7704 of the field H3513 shall honour [H8762] H8577 me, the dragons H1323 and the owls H3284 H5414 : because I give [H8804] H4325 waters H4057 in the wilderness H5104 , and rivers H3452 in the desert H8248 , to give drink [H8687] H5971 to my people H972 , my chosen.

21 H2098 This H5971 people H3335 have I formed [H8804] H5608 for myself; they shall shew forth [H8762] H8416 my praise.

22 H7121 But thou hast not called [H8804] H3290 upon me, O Jacob H3021 ; but thou hast been weary [H8804] H3478 of me, O Israel.

23 H935 Thou hast not brought [H8689] H7716 me the small cattle H5930 of thy burnt offerings H3513 ; neither hast thou honoured [H8765] H2077 me with thy sacrifices H5647 . I have not caused thee to serve [H8689] H4503 with an offering H3021 , nor wearied [H8689] H3828 thee with incense.

24 H7069 Thou hast bought [H8804] H7070 me no sweet cane H3701 with money H7301 , neither hast thou filled [H8689] H2459 me with the fat H2077 of thy sacrifices H5647 : but thou hast made me to serve [H8689] H2403 with thy sins H3021 , thou hast wearied [H8689] H5771 me with thine iniquities.

25 H4229 I, even I, am he that blotteth out [H8802] H6588 thy transgressions H2142 for mine own sake, and will not remember [H8799] H2403 thy sins.

26 H2142 Put me in remembrance [H8685] H8199 : let us plead [H8735] H3162 together H5608 : declare [H8761] H6663 thou, that thou mayest be justified [H8799] .

27 H7223 Thy first H1 father H2398 hath sinned [H8804] H3887 , and thy teachers [H8688] H6586 have transgressed [H8804] against me.

28 H2490 Therefore I have profaned [H8762] H8269 the princes H6944 of the sanctuary H5414 , and have given [H8799] H3290 Jacob H2764 to the curse H3478 , and Israel H1421 to reproaches.

ERV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ 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. ² 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. ³ For I am the LORD thy God, the Holy One of Israel, thy saviour; I have given Egypt as thy ransom, Ethiopia and Seba for thee. ⁴ Since thou hast been precious in my sight, [and] honourable, and I have loved thee; therefore will I give men for thee, and peoples for thy life. ⁵ Fear not; for I am with thee: I will bring thy seed from the east, and gather thee from the west; ⁶ 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 end of the earth; ⁷ every one that is called by my name, and whom I have created for my glory; I have formed him; yea, I have made him. ⁸ Bring forth the blind people that have eyes, and the deaf that have ears. ⁹ Let all the nations be gathered together, and let the peoples be assembled: who among them can declare this, and shew us former things? let them bring their witnesses, that they may be justified: or let them hear, and say, It is truth. 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. ¹¹ I, even I, am the LORD; and beside me there is no saviour. ¹² I have declared, and I have saved, and I have shewed, and there was no strange [god] among you: therefore ye are my witnesses, saith the LORD, and I am God. ¹³ Yea, since 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? ¹⁴ Thus saith the LORD, your redeemer, the Holy One of Israel: For your sake I have sent to Babylon, and I will bring down all of them as fugitives, even the Chaldeans, in the ships of their rejoicing. ¹⁵ I am the LORD, your Holy One, the Creator of Israel, your King. ¹⁶ Thus saith the LORD, which maketh a way in the sea, and a path in the mighty waters; ¹⁷ which bringeth forth the chariot and horse, the army and the power; they lie down together, they shall not rise; they are extinct, they are quenched as flax: ¹⁸ Remember ye not the former things, neither consider the things of old. ¹⁹ Behold, I will do a new thing; now shall it spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert. ²⁰ The beasts of the field shall honour 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 the people which I formed for myself, that they might set forth my praise. ²² Yet thou hast not called upon me, O Jacob; but thou hast been weary of me, O Israel. ²³ Thou hast not brought me the small cattle of thy burnt offerings; neither hast thou honoured me with thy sacrifices. I have not made thee to serve with offerings, nor wearied thee with frankincense. 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. ²⁵ I, even I, am he that blotteth out thy transgressions for mine own sake; and I will not remember thy sins. ²⁶ Put me in remembrance; let us plead together: set thou forth [thy cause], that thou mayest be justified. ²⁷ Thy first father sinned, and thine interpreters have transgressed against me. ²⁸ Therefore I will profane the princes of the sanctuary, and I will make Jacob a curse, and Israel a reviling.
