[1]But now thus saithH559[H8804] the LORDH3068 that createdH1254[H8802] thee, O JacobH3290, and he that formedH3335[H8802] thee, O IsraelH3478, FearH3372[H8799] not: for I have redeemedH1350[H8804] thee, I have calledH7121[H8804] thee by thy name; thou art mineH8034.
[2]When thou passest throughH5674[H8799] the watersH4325, I will be with thee; and through the riversH5104, they shall not overflowH7857[H8799] thee: when thou walkestH3212[H8799] throughH1119 the fireH784, thou shalt not be burnedH3554[H8735]; neither shall the flameH3852 kindleH1197 upon theeH8799.
[3]For I am the LORDH3068 thy GodH430, the Holy OneH6918 of IsraelH3478, thy SaviourH3467[H8688]: I gaveH5414[H8804] EgyptH4714 for thy ransomH3724, EthiopiaH3568 and Seba for theeH5434.
[4]Since thou wast preciousH3365[H8804] in my sightH5869, thou hast been honourableH3513[H8738], and I have lovedH157[H8804] thee: therefore will I giveH5414[H8799] menH120 for thee, and peopleH3816 for thy lifeH5315.
[5]FearH3372[H8799] not: for I am with thee: I will bringH935[H8686] thy seedH2233 from the eastH4217, and gatherH6908[H8762] thee from the westH4628;
[6]I will sayH559[H8799] to the northH6828, Give upH5414[H8798]; and to the southH8486, Keep not backH3607[H8799]: bringH935[H8685] my sonsH1121 from farH7350, and my daughtersH1323 from the endsH7097 of the earthH776;
[7]Even every oneH3605 that is calledH7121[H8737] by my nameH8034: for I have createdH1254[H8804] him for my gloryH3519, I have formedH3335[H8804] him; yea, I have madeH6213 himH8804.
[8]Bring forthH3318[H8685] the blindH5787 peopleH5971 that haveH3426 eyesH5869, and the deafH2795 that have earsH241.
[9]Let all the nationsH1471 be gatheredH6908[H8738] togetherH3162, and let the peopleH3816 be assembledH622[H8735]: who among them can declareH5046[H8686] this, and shewH8085[H8686] us former thingsH7223? let them bring forthH5414[H8799] their witnessesH5707, that they may be justifiedH6663[H8799]: or let them hearH8085[H8799], and sayH559[H8799], It is truthH571.
[10]Ye are my witnessesH5707, saithH5002[H8803] the LORDH3068, and my servantH5650 whom I have chosenH977[H8804]: that ye may knowH3045[H8799] and believeH539[H8686] me, and understandH995[H8799] that I am he: beforeH6440 me there was no GodH410 formedH3335[H8738], neither shall there be after meH310.
[11]I, even I, am the LORDH3068; and besideH1107 me there is no saviourH3467.[H8688]
[12]I have declaredH5046[H8689], and have savedH3467[H8689], and I have shewedH8085[H8689], when there was no strangeH2114[H8801] god among you: therefore ye are my witnessesH5707, saithH5002[H8803] the LORDH3068, that I am GodH410.
[13]Yea, before the dayH3117 was I am he; and there is none that can deliverH5337[H8688] out of my handH3027: I will workH6466[H8799], and who shall letH7725 itH8686?
[14]Thus saithH559[H8804] the LORDH3068, your redeemerH1350[H8802], the Holy OneH6918 of IsraelH3478; For your sake I have sentH7971[H8765] to BabylonH894, and have brought downH3381[H8689] all their noblesH1281, and the ChaldeansH3778, whose cryH7440 is in the shipsH591.
[15]I am the LORDH3068, your Holy OneH6918, the creatorH1254[H8802] of IsraelH3478, your KingH4428.
[16]Thus saithH559[H8804] the LORDH3068, which makethH5414[H8802] a wayH1870 in the seaH3220, and a pathH5410 in the mightyH5794 watersH4325;
[17]Which bringeth forthH3318[H8688] the chariotH7393 and horseH5483, the armyH2428 and the powerH5808; they shall lie downH7901[H8799] togetherH3162, they shall not riseH6965[H8799]: they are extinctH1846[H8804], they are quenchedH3518[H8804] as towH6594.
[18]RememberH2142[H8799] ye not the former thingsH7223, neither considerH995[H8709] the things of oldH6931.
[19]Behold, I will doH6213[H8802] a new thingH2319; now it shall spring forthH6779[H8799]; shall ye not knowH3045[H8799] it? I will even makeH7760[H8799] a wayH1870 in the wildernessH4057, and riversH5104 in the desertH3452.
[20]The beastH2416 of the fieldH7704 shall honourH3513[H8762] me, the dragonsH8577 and the owlsH1323[H3284]: because I giveH5414[H8804] watersH4325 in the wildernessH4057, and riversH5104 in the desertH3452, to give drinkH8248[H8687] to my peopleH5971, my chosenH972.
[21]ThisH2098 peopleH5971 have I formedH3335[H8804] for myself; they shall shew forthH5608[H8762] my praiseH8416.
[22]But thou hast not calledH7121[H8804] upon me, O JacobH3290; but thou hast been wearyH3021[H8804] of me, O IsraelH3478.
[23]Thou hast not broughtH935[H8689] me the small cattleH7716 of thy burnt offeringsH5930; neither hast thou honouredH3513[H8765] me with thy sacrificesH2077. I have not caused thee to serveH5647[H8689] with an offeringH4503, nor weariedH3021[H8689] thee with incenseH3828.
[24]Thou hast boughtH7069[H8804] me no sweet caneH7070 with moneyH3701, neither hast thou filledH7301[H8689] me with the fatH2459 of thy sacrificesH2077: but thou hast made me to serveH5647[H8689] with thy sinsH2403, thou hast weariedH3021[H8689] me with thine iniquitiesH5771.
[25]I, even I, am he that blotteth outH4229[H8802] thy transgressionsH6588 for mine own sake, and will not rememberH2142[H8799] thy sinsH2403.
[26]Put me in remembranceH2142[H8685]: let us pleadH8199[H8735] togetherH3162: declareH5608[H8761] thou, that thou mayest be justifiedH6663.[H8799]
[27]Thy firstH7223 fatherH1 hath sinnedH2398[H8804], and thy teachersH3887[H8688] have transgressedH6586 against meH8804.
[28]Therefore I have profanedH2490[H8762] the princesH8269 of the sanctuaryH6944, and have givenH5414[H8799] JacobH3290 to the curseH2764, and IsraelH3478 to reproachesH1421.
