Isaiah 43 (kjv)

43

But now thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 that createdH1254 thee, O JacobH3290, and he that formedH3335 thee, O IsraelH3478, FearH3372 not: for I have redeemedH1350 thee, I have calledH7121 thee by thy nameH8034; thou art mine.2When thou passest throughH5674 the watersH4325, I will be with thee; and through the riversH5104, they shall not overflowH7857 thee: when thou walkestH3212 throughH1119 the fireH784, thou shalt not be burnedH3554; neither shall the flameH3852 kindleH1197 upon thee.3For I am the LORDH3068 thy GodH430, the Holy OneH6918 of IsraelH3478, thy SaviourH3467: I gaveH5414 EgyptH4714 for thy ransomH3724, EthiopiaH3568 and SebaH5434 for thee.4Since thou wast preciousH3365 in my sightH5869, thou hast been honourableH3513, and I have lovedH157 thee: therefore will I giveH5414 menH120 for thee, and peopleH3816 for thy lifeH5315.5FearH3372 not: for I am with thee: I will bringH935 thy seedH2233 from the eastH4217, and gatherH6908 thee from the westH4628;6I will sayH559 to the northH6828, Give upH5414; and to the southH8486, Keep not backH3607: bringH935 my sonsH1121 from farH7350, and my daughtersH1323 from the endsH7097 of the earthH776;7Even every oneH3605 that is calledH7121 by my nameH8034: for I have createdH1254 him for my gloryH3519, I have formedH3335 him; yea, I have madeH6213 him.

8Bring forthH3318 the blindH5787 peopleH5971 that haveH3426 eyesH5869, and the deafH2795 that have earsH241.9Let all the nationsH1471 be gatheredH6908 togetherH3162, and let the peopleH3816 be assembledH622: who among them can declareH5046 this, and shewH8085 us former thingsH7223? let them bring forthH5414 their witnessesH5707, that they may be justifiedH6663: or let them hearH8085, and sayH559, It is truthH571.10Ye are my witnessesH5707, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, and my servantH5650 whom I have chosenH977: that ye may knowH3045 and believeH539 me, and understandH995 that I am he: beforeH6440 me there was no GodH410 formedH3335, neither shall there be afterH310 me.11I, even I, am the LORDH3068; and besideH1107 me there is no saviourH3467.12I have declaredH5046, and have savedH3467, and I have shewedH8085, when there was no strangeH2114 god among you: therefore ye are my witnessesH5707, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, that I am GodH410.13Yea, before the dayH3117 was I am he; and there is none that can deliverH5337 out of my handH3027: I will workH6466, and who shall letH7725 it?

14Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068, your redeemerH1350, the Holy OneH6918 of IsraelH3478; For your sake I have sentH7971 to BabylonH894, and have brought downH3381 all their noblesH1281, and the ChaldeansH3778, whose cryH7440 is in the shipsH591.15I am the LORDH3068, your Holy OneH6918, the creatorH1254 of IsraelH3478, your KingH4428.16Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068, which makethH5414 a wayH1870 in the seaH3220, and a pathH5410 in the mightyH5794 watersH4325;17Which bringeth forthH3318 the chariotH7393 and horseH5483, the armyH2428 and the powerH5808; they shall lie downH7901 togetherH3162, they shall not riseH6965: they are extinctH1846, they are quenchedH3518 as towH6594.

18RememberH2142 ye not the former thingsH7223, neither considerH995 the things of oldH6931.19Behold, I will doH6213 a new thingH2319; now it shall spring forthH6779; shall ye not knowH3045 it? I will even makeH7760 a wayH1870 in the wildernessH4057, and riversH5104 in the desertH3452.20The beastH2416 of the fieldH7704 shall honourH3513 me, the dragonsH8577 and the owlsH1323 H3284: because I giveH5414 watersH4325 in the wildernessH4057, and riversH5104 in the desertH3452, to give drinkH8248 to my peopleH5971, my chosenH972.21ThisH2098 peopleH5971 have I formedH3335 for myself; they shall shew forthH5608 my praiseH8416.

22But thou hast not calledH7121 upon me, O JacobH3290; but thou hast been wearyH3021 of me, O IsraelH3478.23Thou hast not broughtH935 me the small cattleH7716 of thy burnt offeringsH5930; neither hast thou honouredH3513 me with thy sacrificesH2077. I have not caused thee to serveH5647 with an offeringH4503, nor weariedH3021 thee with incenseH3828.24Thou hast boughtH7069 me no sweet caneH7070 with moneyH3701, neither hast thou filledH7301 me with the fatH2459 of thy sacrificesH2077: but thou hast made me to serveH5647 with thy sinsH2403, thou hast weariedH3021 me with thine iniquitiesH5771.25I, even I, am he that blotteth outH4229 thy transgressionsH6588 for mine own sake, and will not rememberH2142 thy sinsH2403.26Put me in remembranceH2142: let us pleadH8199 togetherH3162: declareH5608 thou, that thou mayest be justifiedH6663.27Thy firstH7223 fatherH1 hath sinnedH2398, and thy teachersH3887 have transgressedH6586 against me.28Therefore I have profanedH2490 the princesH8269 of the sanctuaryH6944, and have givenH5414 JacobH3290 to the curseH2764, and IsraelH3478 to reproachesH1421.
