* But now thus says Jehovah who created you , O Jacob , and He who formed you , O Israel ; Fear not , 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 shall not overflow you . When you walk through the fire , you shall not be burned ; nor shall the flame consume you . * For I am Jehovah your God , the Holy One of Israel , your Savior ; I gave Egypt for your ransom , Ethiopia and Seba for you . * Since you were precious in My eyes , you have been honored , and I have loved you ; therefore I will give men for you , and people for your life . * Fear not , 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 , Do not keep back ; bring My sons from afar and My daughters from the ends of the earth ; * everyone who is called by My name ; for I have created him for My glory , I have formed him ; yea , I have made him . * Bring out the blind people who have eyes , and the deaf who have ears . * Let all the nations be gathered together , and let the people be assembled . Who among them can declare this and cause us to hear former things ? Let them bring out their witnesses , that they may be justified ; or let them hear , and say , It is true . * You are My witnesses , says Jehovah , and My servant whom I have chosen ; that you may know and believe Me , and understand that I am He . Before Me no god was formed , nor shall there be after Me . * I , even I , am Jehovah ; and there is no one to save besides Me . * I have declared and have saved , and I have shown , when there was no strange god among you ; therefore you are My witnesses , says Jehovah , that I am the Mighty God . * Yea , before the day was , I am He ; and no one can deliver out of My hand ; I work , and who will reverse it ? * Thus says Jehovah , your Redeemer , the Holy One of Israel : For your sake I have sent to Babylon , and have brought them all down as fugitives , and the Chaldeans , who shout in their ships . * I am Jehovah , your Holy One , the Creator of Israel , your King . * Thus says Jehovah , Who makes a way in the sea and a path through the mighty waters ; * Who brings out the chariot and horse , the army and the power : They shall lie down together , they shall not rise ; they are extinguished , they are quenched like a wick . * Do not remember the former things , nor consider the things of old . * Behold , I will do a new thing ; now it shall spring forth ; shall you not know it ? I will even make a way in the wilderness , and rivers in the desert . * The beasts of the field shall honor Me , the dragons and the young owls ; because I give waters in the wilderness , rivers in the desert , to give drink to My people , My elect . * This people that I have formed for Myself ; they shall declare My praise . * But you have not called upon Me , O Jacob ; but you have been weary of Me , O Israel . * You have not brought Me the lamb of your burnt offerings ; nor have you honored Me with your sacrifices . I have not caused you to serve with an offering , nor wearied you with incense . * You have bought Me no sweet cane with money , nor have you filled Me with the fat of your sacrifices ; but you have burdened Me with your sins ; you have wearied Me with your iniquities . * I , even I , am He who blots out your transgressions for My own sake , and will not remember your sins . * Bring to My remembrance ; let us enter into judgment together ; declare yourself , that you may be justified . * Your first father has sinned , and has mocked and rebelled against Me . * Therefore I will defile the rulers of the sanctuary , and will give Jacob to the curse , and Israel to reproaches .
