* But now thus says Yahweh who created you , O Jacob , and he who formed you , O Israel : Don 't be afraid , for I have redeemed you ; I have called you by your name , you are mine . * When you pass through the waters , I will be with you ; and through the rivers , they will not overflow you : when you walk through the fire , you will not be burned , neither will the flame kindle on you . * For I am Yahweh your God , the Holy One of Israel , your Savior ; I have given Egypt as your ransom , Ethiopia and Seba in your stead . * Since you have been precious in my sight , [and ] honorable , and I have loved you ; therefore I will give man in your stead , and peoples instead of your life . * Don 't be afraid ; for I am with you : I will bring your seed from the east , and gather you from the west ; * I will say to the north , Give up ; and to the south , Don 't keep back ; bring my sons from far , and my daughters from the end of the earth ; * everyone who is called by my name , and whom I have created for my glory , whom I have formed , yes , whom I have made . * Bring forth the blind people who have eyes , and the deaf who have ears . * Let all the nations be gathered together , and let the peoples be assembled : who among them can declare this , and show us former things ? Let them bring their witnesses , that they may be justified ; or let them hear , and say , It is truth . * You (note :){+}(:note ) are my witnesses , says Yahweh , and my slave whom I have chosen ; that you {+} may know and believe me , and understand that I am he : before me there was no God formed , neither will there be after me . * I , even I , am Yahweh ; and besides me there is no savior . * I have declared , and I have saved , and I have shown ; and there was no strange [god ] among you (note :){+}(:note ): therefore you {+} are my witnesses , says Yahweh , and I am God . * Yes , since the day was , I am he ; and there is none who can deliver out of my hand : I will work , and who can hinder it ?
