Yeshayahu- Isaiah - Chapter 43
Chapter 43
| 1. And now, so said the Lord, your Creator, O Jacob, and the One Who formed you, O Israel, "Do not fear, for I have redeemed you, and I called by your name, you are Mine. |
|
א. |
| 2. When you pass through water, I am with you, and in rivers, they shall not overflow you; when you go amidst fire, you shall not be burnt, neither shall a flame burn amongst you. |
|
ב. |
| 3. For I am the Lord your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior; I have given Egypt as your ransom, Cush and Seba in your stead. |
|
ג. |
| 4. Since you are dear in My eyes, you were honored and I loved you, and I give men in your stead and nations instead of your life. |
|
ד. |
| 5. Fear not for I am with you; from the east I will bring your seed, and from the west I will gather you. |
|
ה. |
| 6. I will say to the north, "Give," and to the south, "Do not refrain"; bring My sons from afar and My daughters from the end of the earth." |
|
ו. |
| 7. Everyone that is called by My name, and whom I created for My glory, I formed him, yea I made him. |
|
ז. |
| 8. To bring out a blind people, who have eyes, and deaf ones who have ears. |
|
ח. |
| 9. Were all the nations gathered together, and kingdoms assembled, who of them would tell this or let us know of the first events? Let them present their witnesses, and they shall be deemed just, and let them hear and say, "True." |
|
ט. |
| 10. "You are My witnesses," says the Lord, "and My servant whom I chose," in order that you know and believe Me, and understand that I am He; before Me no god was formed and after Me none shall be. l |
|
י. |
| 11. I, I am the Lord, and besides Me there is no Savior. |
|
יא. |
| 12. I told and I saved, and I made heard and there was no stranger among you, and you are My witnesses," says the Lord, "and I am God. |
|
יב. |
| 13. Even before the day I am He, and there is no saving from My hand; I do, and who retracts it?" |
|
יג. |
| 14. So said the Lord, your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel, "Because of you, I sent [you] to Babylon, and I lowered, them all with oars, and Chaldees in the ships of their rejoicing. |
|
יד. |
| 15. I am the Lord, your Holy One, the Creator of Israel, your King. |
|
טו. |
| 16. So said the Lord, who made a way in the sea, and a path in the mighty waters. |
|
טז. |
| 17. Who drew out chariots and horses, army and power; they lay together, they did not rise; they were extinguished, like a flaxen wick they were quenched. |
|
יז. |
| 18. Remember not the first events, and do not meditate over early ones. |
|
יח. |
| 19. Behold I am making a new thing, now it will sprout, now you shall know it; yea I will make a road in the desert, rivers in the wasteland. |
|
יט. |
| 20. The beasts of the field shall honor Me, the jackals and the ostriches, for I gave water in the desert, rivers in the wasteland, to give My chosen people drink. |
|
כ. |
| 21. This people I formed for Myself; they shall recite My praise. |
|
כא. |
| 22. But you did not call Me, O Jacob, for you wearied of Me, O Israel. |
|
כב. |
| 23. You did not bring Me the lambs of your burnt offerings, nor did you honor Me with your sacrifices; neither did I overwork you with meal-offerings nor did I weary you with frankincense. |
|
כג. |
| 24. Neither did you purchase cane for Me with money, nor have you sated Me with the fat of your sacrifices. But you have burdened Me with your sins; you have wearied Me with your iniquities. |
|
כד. |
| 25. I, yea I erase your transgressions for My sake, and your sins I will not remember. |
|
כה. |
| 26. Remind Me, let us stand in judgment; you tell, in order that you be accounted just. |
|
כו. |
| 27. Your first father sinned, and your intercessors transgressed against Me. |
|
כז. |
| 28. And I profane the holy princes, and I deliver Jacob to destruction and Israel to revilings. |
|
כח. |
