^{1 Ref} But now thus saith Jehovah that created thee, O Jacob, and he that formed thee, O Israel: Fear not, for I have redeemed thee; I have called thee by thy name, thou art mine.

^{2 Ref} 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.

^{3 Ref} For I am Jehovah thy God, the Holy One of Israel, thy Saviour; I have given Egypt as thy ransom, Ethiopia and Seba in thy stead.

^{4 Ref} Since thou hast been precious in my sight, `and' honorable, and I have loved thee; therefore will I give men in thy stead, and peoples instead of thy life.

^{5 Ref} Fear not; for I am with thee: I will bring thy seed from the east, and gather thee from the west;

^{6 Ref} 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 end of the earth;

^{7 Ref} every one that is called by my name, and whom I have created for my glory, whom I have formed, yea, whom I have made.

^{8 Ref} Bring forth the blind people that have eyes, and the deaf that have ears.

^{9 Ref} 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.

^{10 Ref} Ye are my witnesses, saith Jehovah, 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.

^{11 Ref} I, even I, am Jehovah; and besides me there is no saviour.

^{12 Ref} I have declared, and I have saved, and I have showed; and there was no strange `god' among you: therefore ye are my witnesses, saith Jehovah, and I am God.

^{13 Ref} Yea, since the day was I am he; and there is none that can deliver out of my hand: I will work, and who can hinder it?

^{14 Ref} Thus saith Jehovah, your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel: For your sake I have sent to Babylon, and I will bring down all of them as fugitives, even the Chaldeans, in the ships of their rejoicing.

^{15 Ref} I am Jehovah, your Holy One, the Creator of Israel, your King.

^{16 Ref} Thus saith Jehovah, who maketh a way in the sea, and a path in the mighty waters;

^{17 Ref} who bringeth forth the chariot and horse, the army and the mighty man (they lie down together, they shall not rise; they are extinct, they are quenched as a wick):

^{18 Ref} Remember ye not the former things, neither consider the things of old.

^{19 Ref} Behold, I will do a new thing; now shall it spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert.

^{20 Ref} The beasts of the field shall honor me, the jackals and the ostriches; because I give waters in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert, to give drink to my people, my chosen,

^{21 Ref} the people which I formed for myself, that they might set forth my praise.

^{22 Ref} Yet thou hast not called upon me, O Jacob; but thou hast been weary of me, O Israel.

^{23 Ref} Thou hast not brought me of thy sheep for burnt-offerings; neither hast thou honored me with thy sacrifices. I have not burdened thee with offerings, nor wearied thee with frankincense.

^{24 Ref} Thou hast bought me no sweet cane with money, neither hast thou filled me with the fat of thy sacrifices; but thou hast burdened me with thy sins, thou hast wearied me with thine iniquities.

^{25 Ref} I, even I, am he that blotteth out thy transgressions for mine own sake; and I will not remember thy sins.

^{26 Ref} Put me in remembrance; let us plead together: set thou forth `thy cause', that thou mayest be justified.

^{27 Ref} Thy first father sinned, and thy teachers have transgressed against me.

^{28 Ref} Therefore I will profane the princes of the sanctuary; and I will make Jacob a curse, and Israel a reviling.

^{1 Ref} And now, thus said Jehovah, Thy Creator, O Jacob, and thy Fashioner, O Israel, Be not afraid, for I have redeemed thee, I have called on thy name -- thou `art' Mine.

^{2 Ref} When thou passest into waters, I `am' with thee, And into floods, they do not overflow thee, When thou goest into fire, thou art not burnt, And a flame doth not burn against thee.

^{3 Ref} For I -- Jehovah thy God, The Holy One of Israel, thy Saviour, I have appointed Egypt thine atonement, Cush and Seba in thy stead.

^{4 Ref} Since thou wast precious in Mine eyes, Thou wast honoured, and I have loved thee, And I appoint men in thy stead, And peoples instead of thy life.

^{5 Ref} Be not afraid, for I `am' with thee, From the east I bring in thy seed, And from the west I gather thee.

^{6 Ref} I am saying to the north, `Give up,' And to the south, `Restrain not.' Bring in My sons from afar, And My daughters from the end of the earth.

^{7 Ref} Every one who is called by My name, Even for My honour I have created him, I have formed him, yea, I have made him.

^{8 Ref} He brought out a blind people who have eyes, And deaf ones who have ears.

^{9 Ref} All the nations have been gathered together, And the peoples are assembled, Who among them declareth this, And former things causeth us to hear? They give their witnesses, And they are declared righteous, And they hear and say, `Truth.'

^{10 Ref} Ye `are' My witnesses, an affirmation of Jehovah, And My servant whom I have chosen, So that ye know and give credence to Me, And understand that I `am' He, Before Me there was no God formed, And after Me there is none.

^{11 Ref} I -- I `am' Jehovah, And besides Me there is no saviour.

^{12 Ref} I -- I declared, and saved, and proclaimed, And there is no stranger with you, And ye `are' My witnesses, an affirmation of Jehovah, And I `am' God.

^{13 Ref} Even from the day I `am' He, And there is no deliverer from My hand, I work, and who doth turn it back?

^{14 Ref} Thus said Jehovah, your Redeemer, The Holy One of Israel: `For your sake I have sent to Babylon, And caused bars to descend -- all of them, And the Chaldeans, whose song `is' in the ships.

^{15 Ref} I `am' Jehovah, your Holy One, Creator of Israel, your King.'

^{16 Ref} Thus said Jehovah, Who is giving in the sea a way, And in the strong waters a path.

^{17 Ref} Who is bringing forth chariot and horse, A force, even a strong one: `Together they lie down -- they rise not, They have been extinguished, As flax they have been quenched.'

^{18 Ref} Remember not former things, And ancient things consider not.

^{19 Ref} Lo, I am doing a new thing, now it springeth up, Do ye not know it? Yea, I put in a wilderness a way, In a desolate place -- floods.

^{20 Ref} Honour me doth the beast of the field, Dragons and daughters of an ostrich, For I have given in a wilderness waters, Floods in a desolate place, To give drink to My people -- My chosen.

^{21 Ref} This people I have formed for Myself, My praise they recount.

^{22 Ref} And Me thou hast not called, O Jacob, For thou hast been wearied of me, O Israel,

^{23 Ref} Thou hast not brought in to Me, The lamb of thy burnt-offerings, And `with' thy sacrifices thou hast not honoured Me, I have not caused thee to serve with a present, Nor wearied thee with frankincense.

^{24 Ref} Thou hast not bought for Me with money sweet cane, And `with' the fat of thy sacrifices hast not filled Me, Only -- thou hast caused Me to serve with thy sins, Thou hast wearied Me with thine iniquities.

^{25 Ref} I -- I `am' He who is blotting out Thy transgressions for Mine own sake, And thy sins I do not remember.

^{26 Ref} Cause me to remember -- we are judged together, Declare thou that thou mayest be justified.

^{27 Ref} Thy first father sinned, And thine interpreters transgressed against me,

^{28 Ref} And I pollute princes of the sanctuary, And I give Jacob to destruction, and Israel to revilings!

^{1 Ref} But now thus says Yahweh who created you, Jacob, and he who formed you, Israel: Don't be afraid, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by your name, you are mine.

^{2 Ref} 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, neither shall the flame kindle on you.

^{3 Ref} 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 place.

^{4 Ref} Since you have been precious in my sight, [and] honorable, and I have loved you; therefore will I give men in your place, and peoples instead of your life.

^{5 Ref} Don't be afraid; for I am with you: I will bring your seed from the east, and gather you from the west;

^{6 Ref} I will tell 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;

^{7 Ref} everyone who is called by my name, and whom I have created for my glory, whom I have formed, yes, whom I have made.

^{8 Ref} Bring forth the blind people who have eyes, and the deaf who have ears.

^{9 Ref} 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.

^{10 Ref} You are my witnesses, says Yahweh, and my servant 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 shall there be after me.

^{11 Ref} I, even I, am Yahweh; and besides me there is no savior.

^{12 Ref} I have declared, and I have saved, and I have shown; and there was no strange [god] among you: therefore you are my witnesses, says Yahweh, and I am God.

^{13 Ref} 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?

^{14 Ref} Thus says Yahweh, your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel: For your sake I have sent to Babylon, and I will bring down all of them as fugitives, even the Chaldeans, in the ships of their rejoicing.

^{15 Ref} I am Yahweh, your Holy One, the Creator of Israel, your King.

^{16 Ref} Thus says Yahweh, who makes a way in the sea, and a path in the mighty waters;

^{17 Ref} who brings forth the chariot and horse, the army and the mighty man (they lie down together, they shall not rise; they are extinct, they are quenched as a wick):

^{18 Ref} Don't remember the former things, neither consider the things of old.

^{19 Ref} Behold, I will do a new thing; now shall it spring forth; shall you not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert.

^{20 Ref} The animals of the field shall honor me, the jackals and the ostriches; because I give waters in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert, to give drink to my people, my chosen,

^{21 Ref} the people which I formed for myself, that they might set forth my praise.

^{22 Ref} Yet you have not called on me, Jacob; but you have been weary of me, Israel.

^{23 Ref} You have not brought me of your sheep for burnt offerings; neither have you honored me with your sacrifices. I have not burdened you with offerings, nor wearied you with frankincense.

^{24 Ref} You have bought me no sweet cane with money, neither 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.

^{25 Ref} I, even I, am he who blots out your transgressions for my own sake; and I will not remember your sins.

^{26 Ref} Put me in remembrance; let us plead together: set you forth [your cause], that you may be justified.

^{27 Ref} Your first father sinned, and your teachers have transgressed against me.

^{28 Ref} Therefore I will profane the princes of the sanctuary; and I will make Jacob a curse, and Israel a reviling.
