* But now thus saith the LORD that created thee , O Jacob Ya #aqob #, and he that formed thee , O Israel Yisra #el #, Fear not : for I have redeemed thee , I have called thee by thy name ; thou art mine . * When thou passest through the waters , I will be with thee ; and through the rivers , they shall not overflow thee : when thou walkest through the fire , thou shalt not be burned ; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee . * For I am the LORD thy God , the Holy One of Israel Yisra #el #, thy Saviour : I gave Egypt for thy ransom , Ethiopia and Seba for thee . * Since thou wast precious in my sight , thou hast been honourable , and I have loved thee : therefore will I give men for thee , and people for thy life . * Fear not : for I am with thee : I will bring thy seed from the east , and gather thee from the west ma #arab #; * I will say to the north , Give up ; and to the south , Keep not back : bring my sons from far , and my daughters from the ends of the earth ; * Even every one that is called by my name : for I have created him for my glory , I have formed him ; yea , I have made him . * Bring forth the blind people that have eyes , and the deaf that have ears . * Let all the nations be gathered together , and let the people be assembled : who among them can declare this , and shew us former things ri #shown #? let them bring forth their witnesses , that they may be justified : or let them hear , and say , It is truth . * Ye are my witnesses , saith the LORD , and my servant whom I have chosen : that ye may know and believe me , and understand that I am he : before me there was no God formed , neither shall there be after me . * I , even I , am the LORD ; and beside me there is no saviour . * I have declared , and have saved , and I have shewed , when there was no strange god among you : therefore ye are my witnesses , saith the LORD , that I am God . * Yea , before the day was I am he ; and there is none that can deliver out of my hand : I will work , and who shall let it ? * Thus saith the LORD , your redeemer , the Holy One of Israel Yisra #el #; For your sake I have sent to Babylon , and have brought down all their nobles , and the Chaldeans , whose cry is in the ships . * I am the LORD , your Holy One , the creator of Israel Yisra #el #, your King . * Thus saith the LORD , which maketh a way in the sea , and a path in the mighty waters ; * Which bringeth forth the chariot and horse , the army and the power ; they shall lie down together , they shall not rise : they are extinct , they are quenched as tow . * Remember ye not the former things ri #shown #, neither consider the things of old . * Behold , I will do a new thing ; now it shall spring forth ; shall ye not know it ? I will even make a way in the wilderness , and rivers in the desert . * The beast of the field shall honour me , the dragons and the owls bath # ya #anah #: because I give waters in the wilderness , and rivers in the desert , to give drink to my people , my chosen . * This people have I formed for myself ; they shall shew forth my praise . * But thou hast not called upon me , O Jacob Ya #aqob #; but thou hast been weary of me , O Israel Yisra #el #. * Thou hast not brought me the small cattle of thy burnt offerings ; neither hast thou honoured me with thy sacrifices . I have not caused thee to serve with an offering , nor wearied thee with incense . * Thou hast bought me no sweet cane with money , neither hast thou filled me with the fat of thy sacrifices : but thou hast made me to serve with thy sins chatta #ah #, thou hast wearied me with thine iniquities . * I , even I , am he that blotteth out thy transgressions for mine own sake , and will not remember thy sins chatta #ah #. * Put me in remembrance : let us plead together : declare thou , that thou mayest be justified . * Thy first father hath sinned , and thy teachers have transgressed against me . * Therefore I have profaned the princes of the sanctuary , and have given Jacob to the curse , and Israel to reproaches .
