Isaiah 43:10–20

¹⁰Ye 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. ¹¹I—I am Jehovah, And besides Me there is no saviour. ¹²I—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. ¹³Even from the day I am He, And there is no deliverer from My hand, I work, and who doth turn it back?

¹⁴Thus 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. ¹⁵I am Jehovah, your Holy One, Creator of Israel, your King.’ ¹⁶Thus said Jehovah, Who is giving in the sea a way, And in the strong waters a path. ¹⁷Who 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.’ ¹⁸Remember not former things, And ancient things consider not. ¹⁹Lo, 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. ²⁰Honour 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.
