Isaiah 43:1--44:5

43:1

But now thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>

that created
<01254> (8802)

thee, O Jacob
<03290>_,

and he that formed
<03335> (8802)

thee, O Israel
<03478>_,

Fear
<03372> (8799)

not: for I have redeemed
<01350> (8804)

thee, I have called
<07121> (8804)

[thee] by thy name
<08034>_;

thou [art] mine.

43:2

When thou passest through
<05674> (8799)

the waters
<04325>_,

I [will be] with thee; and through the rivers
<05104>_,

they shall not overflow
<07857> (8799)

thee: when thou walkest
<03212> (8799)

through
<01119>

the fire
<0784>_,

thou shalt not be burned
<03554> (8735)_;

neither shall the flame
<03852>

kindle
<01197> (8799)

upon thee.

43:3

For I [am] the LORD
<03068>

thy God
<0430>_,

the Holy One
<06918>

of Israel
<03478>_,

thy Saviour
<03467> (8688)_:

I gave
<05414> (8804)

Egypt
<04714>

[for] thy ransom
<03724>_,

Ethiopia
<03568>

and Seba
<05434>

for thee.

43:4

Since thou wast precious
<03365> (8804)

in my sight
<05869>_,

thou hast been honourable
<03513> (8738)_,

and I have loved
<0157> (8804)

thee: therefore will I give
<05414> (8799)

men
<0120>

for thee, and people
<03816>

for thy life
<05315>_.

{life: or, person}

43:5

Fear
<03372> (8799)

not: for I [am] with thee: I will bring
<0935> (8686)

thy seed
<02233>

from the east
<04217>_,

and gather
<06908> (8762)

thee from the west
<04628>_;

43:6

I will say
<0559> (8799)

to the north
<06828>_,

Give up
<05414> (8798)_;

and to the south
<08486>_,

Keep not back
<03607> (8799)_:

bring
<0935> (8685)

my sons
<01121>

from far
<07350>_,

and my daughters
<01323>

from the ends
<07097>

of the earth
<0776>_;

43:7

[Even] every one
<03605>

that is called
<07121> (8737)

by my name
<08034>_:

for I have created
<01254> (8804)

him for my glory
<03519>_,

I have formed
<03335> (8804)

him; yea, I have made
<06213> (8804)

him.

43:8

Bring forth
<03318> (8685)

the blind
<05787>

people
<05971>

that have
<03426>

eyes
<05869>_,

and the deaf
<02795>

that have ears
<0241>_.

43:9

Let all the nations
<01471>

be gathered
<06908> (8738)

together
<03162>_,

and let the people
<03816>

be assembled
<0622> (8735)_:

who among them can declare
<05046> (8686)

this, and shew
<08085> (8686)

us former things
<07223>_?

let them bring forth
<05414> (8799)

their witnesses
<05707>_,

that they may be justified
<06663> (8799)_:

or let them hear
<08085> (8799)_,

and say
<0559> (8799)_,

[It is] truth
<0571>_.

43:10

Ye [are] my witnesses
<05707>_,

saith
<05002> (8803)

the LORD
<03068>_,

and my servant
<05650>

whom I have chosen
<0977> (8804)_:

that ye may know
<03045> (8799)

and believe
<0539> (8686)

me, and understand
<0995> (8799)

that I [am] he: before
<06440>

me there was no God
<0410>

formed
<03335> (8738)_,

neither shall there be after
<0310>

me. {no...: or, nothing formed of God}

43:11

I, [even] I, [am] the LORD
<03068>_;

and beside
<01107>

me [there is] no saviour
<03467> (8688)_.

43:12

I have declared
<05046> (8689)_,

and have saved
<03467> (8689)_,

and I have shewed
<08085> (8689)_,

when [there was] no strange
<02114> (8801)

[god] among you: therefore ye [are] my witnesses
<05707>_,

saith
<05002> (8803)

the LORD
<03068>_,

that I [am] God
<0410>_.

43:13

Yea, before the day
<03117>

[was] I [am] he; and [there is] none that can deliver
<05337> (8688)

out of my hand
<03027>_:

I will work
<06466> (8799)_,

and who shall let
<07725> (8686)

it? {let it: Heb. turn it back?}

43:14

Thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>_,

your redeemer
<01350> (8802)_,

the Holy One
<06918>

of Israel
<03478>_;

For your sake I have sent
<07971> (8765)

to Babylon
<0894>_,

and have brought down
<03381> (8689)

all their nobles
<01281>_,

and the Chaldeans
<03778>_,

whose cry
<07440>

[is] in the ships
<0591>_.

{nobles: Heb. bars}

43:15

I [am] the LORD
<03068>_,

your Holy One
<06918>_,

the creator
<01254> (8802)

of Israel
<03478>_,

your King
<04428>_.

43:16

Thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>_,

which maketh
<05414> (8802)

a way
<01870>

in the sea
<03220>_,

and a path
<05410>

in the mighty
<05794>

waters
<04325>_;

43:17

Which bringeth forth
<03318> (8688)

the chariot
<07393>

and horse
<05483>_,

the army
<02428>

and the power
<05808>_;

they shall lie down
<07901> (8799)

together
<03162>_,

they shall not rise
<06965> (8799)_:

they are extinct
<01846> (8804)_,

they are quenched
<03518> (8804)

as tow
<06594>_.

43:18

Remember
<02142> (8799)

ye not the former things
<07223>_,

neither consider
<0995> (8709)

the things of old
<06931>_.

43:19

Behold, I will do
<06213> (8802)

a new thing
<02319>_;

now it shall spring forth
<06779> (8799)_;

shall ye not know
<03045> (8799)

it? I will even make
<07760> (8799)

a way
<01870>

in the wilderness
<04057>_,

[and] rivers
<05104>

in the desert
<03452>_.

43:20

The beast
<02416>

of the field
<07704>

shall honour
<03513> (8762)

me, the dragons
<08577>

and the owls
<01323> <03284>_:

because I give
<05414> (8804)

waters
<04325>

in the wilderness
<04057>_,

[and] rivers
<05104>

in the desert
<03452>_,

to give drink
<08248> (8687)

to my people
<05971>_,

my chosen
<0972>_.

{owls: or, ostriches: Heb. daughters of the owl}

43:21

This
<02098>

people
<05971>

have I formed
<03335> (8804)

for myself; they shall shew forth
<05608> (8762)

my praise
<08416>_.

43:22

But thou hast not called
<07121> (8804)

upon me, O Jacob
<03290>_;

but thou hast been weary
<03021> (8804)

of me, O Israel
<03478>_.

43:23

Thou hast not brought
<0935> (8689)

me the small cattle
<07716>

of thy burnt offerings
<05930>_;

neither hast thou honoured
<03513> (8765)

me with thy sacrifices
<02077>_.

I have not caused thee to serve
<05647> (8689)

with an offering
<04503>_,

nor wearied
<03021> (8689)

thee with incense
<03828>_.

{small...: Heb. lambs, or, kids}

43:24

Thou hast bought
<07069> (8804)

me no sweet cane
<07070>

with money
<03701>_,

neither hast thou filled
<07301> (8689)

me with the fat
<02459>

of thy sacrifices
<02077>_:

but thou hast made me to serve
<05647> (8689)

with thy sins
<02403>_,

thou hast wearied
<03021> (8689)

me with thine iniquities
<05771>_.

{filled...: Heb. made me drunk, or, abundantly moistened}

43:25

I, [even] I, [am] he that blotteth out
<04229> (8802)

thy transgressions
<06588>

for mine own sake, and will not remember
<02142> (8799)

thy sins
<02403>_.

43:26

Put me in remembrance
<02142> (8685)_:

let us plead
<08199> (8735)

together
<03162>_:

declare
<05608> (8761)

thou, that thou mayest be justified
<06663> (8799)_.

43:27

Thy first
<07223>

father
<01>

hath sinned
<02398> (8804)_,

and thy teachers
<03887> (8688)

have transgressed
<06586> (8804)

against me. {teachers: Heb. interpreters}

43:28

Therefore I have profaned
<02490> (8762)

the princes
<08269>

of the sanctuary
<06944>_,

and have given
<05414> (8799)

Jacob
<03290>

to the curse
<02764>_,

and Israel
<03478>

to reproaches
<01421>_.

{princes...: or, holy princes}

44:1

Yet now hear
<08085> (8798)_,

O Jacob
<03290>

my servant
<05650>_;

and Israel
<03478>_,

whom I have chosen
<0977> (8804)_:

44:2

Thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>

that made
<06213> (8802)

thee, and formed
<03335> (8802)

thee from the womb
<0990>_,

[which] will help
<05826> (8799)

thee; Fear
<03372> (8799)

not, O Jacob
<03290>_,

my servant
<05650>_;

and thou, Jesurun
<03484>_,

whom I have chosen
<0977> (8804)_.

44:3

For I will pour
<03332> (8799)

water
<04325>

upon him that is thirsty
<06771>_,

and floods
<05140> (8802)

upon the dry ground
<03004>_:

I will pour
<03332> (8799)

my spirit
<07307>

upon thy seed
<02233>_,

and my blessing
<01293>

upon thine offspring
<06631>_:

44:4

And they shall spring up
<06779> (8804)

[as] among
<0996>

the grass
<02682>_,

as willows
<06155>

by the water
<04325>

courses
<02988>_.

44:5

One shall say
<0559> (8799)_,

I [am] the LORD'S
<03068>_;

and another shall call
<07121> (8799)

[himself] by the name
<08034>

of Jacob
<03290>_;

and another shall subscribe
<03789> (8799)

[with] his hand
<03027>

unto the LORD
<03068>_,

and surname
<03655> (8762)

[himself] by the name
<08034>

of Israel
<03478>_.
