Isaiah 43:1–13

But now thus saith the Lord ^athat created thee, O Jacob,

^bAnd he ^athat formed thee, O Israel,

^fpFear not: ^cfor I have redeemed thee,

^dI have called thee by thy name; thou art mine.

^2eWhen thou passest through the waters, ^fI will be with thee;

And ^gthrough the rivers, they shall not overflow thee:

^ehWhen thou ⁱwalkest through the fire, ^hthou shalt not be ⁱburnt;

Neither shall the flame kindle upon thee.

³For I am the Lord thy God,

The Holy One of Israel, ^jthy Saviour:

^kI gave ^lEgypt ^mfor thy ransom,

^lEthiopia and ⁿSeba for thee.

⁴Since ^othou wast precious in my sight,

Thou hast been honourable, and I have loved thee:

^mTherefore will I give men for thee,

And people for thy life.

^5pFear not: for I am with thee:

I will bring thy seed ^qfrom the east,

And ^qgather thee from the west;

⁶I will say to ^qthe north, Give up;

And to the south, Keep not back:

Bring ^rmy sons from far,

And ^rmy daughters from the ends of the earth;

⁷Even every one ^sthat is called by my name:

For ^asI have created him for my glory,

^aI have formed him; yea, ^uI have made him.

^8vBring forth the blind people that have eyes,

And the deaf that have ears.

⁹Let all the nations be gathered together,

And let the people be assembled:

^wWho among them can declare this,

And shew us former things?

Let them bring forth their witnesses, that they may be justified:

Or let them hear, and say, It is truth.

^10xYe are my witnesses, saith the Lord,

And ^ymy servant whom I have chosen:

That ye may know and believe me,

And understand that I am he:

^zBefore me there was no God formed,

Neither shall there be after me.

^11aI, even I, am the Lord;

^aAnd ^bbeside me there is no saviour.

¹²I have declared, and have saved, and I have shewed,

When there was no ^cstrange god among you:

Therefore ^dye are my witnesses, saith the Lord, that ^eI am God.

¹³Yea, ^efbefore the day was I am he;

And there is none that can deliver out of my hand:

I will work, and who shall ^glet it?
