Isaiah 43:1-13 - The Restorer Of Israel

¹ Now, therefore, Thus, saith Yahweh - Creating thee, O Jacob, and Fashioning thee O Israel, - Do not fear, For I have redeemed thee, I have called thee by thy name. Mine, thou art! ² When thou passest through the waters, with thee, I am, Or, through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee, - When thou walkest through fire, thou shall not be scorched, And, a flame, shall not kindle upon thee; ³ For, I, - Yahweh, am, Thy God, The Holy One of Israel Ready to save thee, - I have given, as thy ransom, Egypt, Ethiopia and Seba, in thy stead. ⁴ Because thou art precious in mine eyes, art honoured And, I, love thee, - And will give mankind, in thy stead, Yea, peoples, for thy life, ⁵ Do not fear for, with thee, I am, - From the East, will I bring in thy seed, And, from the West, will I gather thee: ⁶ I will say to the North Give up! And to the South Do not withhold! Bring in My sons from far, and My daughters from the end of the earth; ⁷ Every one who is called by my Name, Whom for mine own glory, I have created - formed - yea, made!

⁸ Bring forth A blind people that have, eyes, and A deaf, that have, ears. ⁹ All the nations, are gathered together Yea there is an assembling of peoples, Who among them, can tell this, And things in advance, can let us hear? Let them set forth their witnesses that they may get their right, Or let them hear, and say Truth! ¹⁰ Ye, are my witnesses Declareth Yahweh, And my Servant, whom I have chosen, - That ye may take note - and believe me, And perceive that, I, am He, Before me, was not formed a GOD, Nor after me, shall one come into being: ¹¹ I - I, am Yahweh, - And there is none besides me ready to save: ¹² I, have told - and will save, and make known, That there is among you no strange one; And, ye, are my witnesses, Declareth Yahweh That, I, am GOD. ¹³ Even from To-day, I, am He, And none, out of my hand, can deliver, - I work and who reverseth?
