Isaiah 43:1-13 - The Restorer Of Israel

¹ But now thus says LORD who created thee, O Jacob, and he who formed thee, O Israel: Fear not, for I have redeemed thee. I have called thee by thy name, Thou are mine. ² When thou pass through the waters, I will be with thee, and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee. When thou walk through the fire, thou shall not be burned, nor shall the flame kindle upon thee. ³ For I am LORD thy God, the Holy One of Israel, thy Savior. I have given Egypt as thy ransom, Ethiopia and Seba in thy stead. ⁴ Since thou have been precious in my sight, [and] honorable, and I have loved thee, therefore I will give men in thy stead, and peoples instead of thy life. ⁵ Fear not, for I 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 end of the earth, ⁷ everyone who is called by my name, and whom I have created for my glory, whom I have formed, yea, whom I have made.

⁸ Bring forth the blind people who have eyes, and the deaf who have ears. ⁹ Let all the nations be gathered together, and let the peoples be assembled. Who among them can declare this, and show us former things? Let them bring their witnesses that they may be justified, or let them hear, and say, It is tru ¹⁰ Ye are my witnesses, says LORD, and my servant whom I have chosen, that ye may know and believe me, and understand that I am he. Before me there was no God formed, nor shall there be after me. ¹¹ I, even I, am LORD, and besides me there is no savior. ¹² I have declared, and I have saved, and I have shown, and there was no strange [god] among you. Therefore ye are my witnesses, says LORD, and I am God. ¹³ Yea, since the day was I am he, and there is none that can deliver out of my hand. I will work, and who can hinder it?
