Isaiah 43:1

The Lord Will Rescue His People

43:1 Now, this is what the Lord says,

the one who created you, O Jacob,

and formed you, O Israel:

“Don’t be afraid, for I will protect ¹  you.

I call you by name, you are mine.

Isaiah 43:7

43:7 everyone who belongs to me, ² 

whom I created for my glory,

whom I formed – yes, whom I made!

¹ tn Or “redeem.” See the note at 41:14. Cf. NCV “saved you”; CEV “rescued you”; NLT “ransomed you.”

² tn Heb “everyone who is called by my name” (so NASB, NIV, NRSV).
