Isaiah - Chapter 43 | King James Version (KJV)

  • 1. But now thus saith the LORD that created thee, O Jacob, and he that formed thee, O Israel, Fear not: for I have redeemed thee, I have called {cf15I thee} by thy name; thou {cf15I art} mine.
  • 2. When thou passest through the waters, I {cf15I 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. For I {cf15I am} the LORD thy God, the Holy One of Israel, thy Saviour: I gave Egypt {cf15I for} thy ransom, Ethiopia and Seba for thee.
  • 4. Since thou wast precious in my sight, thou hast been honourable, and I have loved thee: therefore will I give men for thee, and people for thy life.
  • 5. Fear not: for I {cf15I am} with thee: I will bring thy seed from the east, and gather thee from the west;
  • 6. 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 ends of the earth;
  • 7. {cf15I Even} every one that is called by my name: for I have created him for my glory, I have formed him; yea, I have made him.
  • 8. Bring forth the blind people that have eyes, and the deaf that have ears.
  • 9. Let all the nations be gathered together, and let the people be assembled: who 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, {cf15I It is} truth.
  • 10. Ye {cf15I are} my witnesses, saith the LORD, and my servant whom I have chosen: that ye may know and believe me, and understand that I {cf15I am} he: before me there was no God formed, neither shall there be after me.
  • 11. I, {cf15I even} I, {cf15I am} the LORD; and beside me {cf15I there is} no saviour.
  • 12. I have declared, and have saved, and I have shewed, when {cf15I there was} no strange {cf15I god} among you: therefore ye {cf15I are} my witnesses, saith the LORD, that I {cf15I am} God.
  • 13. Yea, before the day {cf15I was} I {cf15I am} he; and {cf15I there is} none that can deliver out of my hand: I will work, and who shall let it?
  • 14. Thus saith the LORD, your redeemer, the Holy One of Israel; For your sake I have sent to Babylon, and have brought down all their nobles, and the Chaldeans, whose cry {cf15I is} in the ships.
  • 15. I {cf15I am} the LORD, your Holy One, the creator of Israel, your King.
  • 16. Thus saith the LORD, which maketh a way in the sea, and a path in the mighty waters;
  • 17. Which bringeth forth the chariot and horse, the army and the power; they shall lie down together, they shall not rise: they are extinct, they are quenched as tow.
  • 18. Remember ye not the former things, neither consider the things of old.
  • 19. Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, {cf15I and} rivers in the desert.
  • 20. The beast of the field shall honour me, the dragons and the owls: because I give waters in the wilderness, {cf15I and} rivers in the desert, to give drink to my people, my chosen.
  • 21. This people have I formed for myself; they shall shew forth my praise.
  • 22. But thou hast not called upon me, O Jacob; but thou hast been weary of me, O Israel.
  • 23. Thou hast not brought me the small cattle of thy burnt offerings; neither hast thou honoured me with thy sacrifices. I have not caused thee to serve with an offering, nor wearied thee with incense.
  • 24. Thou hast bought me no sweet cane with money, neither hast thou filled me with the fat of thy sacrifices: but thou hast made me to serve with thy sins, thou hast wearied me with thine iniquities.
  • 25. I, {cf15I even} I, {cf15I am} he that blotteth out thy transgressions for mine own sake, and will not remember thy sins.
  • 26. Put me in remembrance: let us plead together: declare thou, that thou mayest be justified.
  • 27. Thy first father hath sinned, and thy teachers have transgressed against me.
  • 28. Therefore I have profaned the princes of the sanctuary, and have given Jacob to the curse, and Israel to reproaches.
