Isaiah 43
43:1

But now thus saith559 Yahweh3068 that created1254 thee, O Jacob,3290 and he that formed3335 thee, O Israel,3478 Fear3372 not: for I have redeemed1350 thee, I have called7121 thee by thy name;8034 thou art mine.

43:2

When thou passest through5674 the waters,4325 I will be with thee; and through the rivers,5104 they shall not overflow7857 thee: when thou walkest3212 through1119 the fire,784 thou shalt not be burned;3554 neither shall the flame3852 kindle1197 upon thee.

43:3

For I am Yahweh3068 thy Elohim,430 the Holy One6918 of Israel,3478 thy Saviour:3467 I gave5414 Egypt4714 for thy ransom,3724 Ethiopia3568 and Seba5434 for thee.

43:4

Since thou wast precious3365 in my sight,5869 thou hast been honourable,3513 and I have loved157 thee: therefore will I give5414 men120 for thee, and people3816 for thy life.5315

Fear3372 not: for I am with thee: I will bring935 thy seed2233 from the east,4217 and gather6908 thee from the west;4628

I will say559 to the north,6828 Give up;5414 and to the south,8486 Keep not back:3607 bring935 my sons1121 from far,7350 and my daughters1323 from the ends7097 of the earth;776

43:7

Even every one3605 that is called7121 by my name:8034 for I have created1254 him for my glory,3519 I have formed3335 him; yea, I have made6213 him.

Bring forth3318 the blind5787 people5971 that have3426 eyes,5869 and the deaf2795 that have ears.241

43:9

Let all the nations1471 be gathered6908 together,3162 and let the people3816 be assembled:622 who among them can declare5046 this, and shew8085 us former things?7223 let them bring forth5414 their witnesses,5707 that they may be justified:6663 or let them hear,8085 and say,559 It is truth.571

43:10

Ye are my witnesses,5707 saith5002 Yahweh,3068 and my servant5650 whom I have chosen:977 that ye may know3045 and believe539 me, and understand995 that I am he: before6440 me there was no El410 formed,3335 neither shall there be after310 me.

43:11

I, even I, am Yahweh;3068 and beside1107 me there is no saviour.3467

43:12

I have declared,5046 and have saved,3467 and I have shewed,8085 when there was no strange2114 elohim among you: therefore ye are my witnesses,5707 saith5002 Yahweh,3068 that I am El.410

43:17

Which bringeth forth3318 the chariot7393 and horse,5483 the army2428 and the power;5808 they shall lie down7901 together,3162 they shall not rise:6965 they are extinct,1846 they are quenched3518 as tow.6594

43:18

Remember2142 ye not the former things,7223 neither consider995 the things of old.6931
