^{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.

^{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.
