Isaiah 43:1-13 - The Restorer Of Israel
1
the One who created you, Jacob,
and the One who formed you, Israel
“Do not fear, for I have redeemed you;
I have called you by your name; you are Mine.
when you pass through the waters,
and when you pass through the rivers,
they will not overwhelm you.
You will not be scorched
when you walk through the fire,
and the flame will not burn you.
the Holy One of Israel, and your Savior,
give Egypt as a ransom for you,
Cush and Seba in your place.
and honored, and I love you,
I will give people in exchange for you
and nations instead of your life.
I will bring your descendants from the east,
and gather you from the west.
and to the south: Do not hold them back!
Bring My sons from far away,
and My daughters from the ends of the earth
and created for My glory.
I have formed him; indeed, I have made him.”

and the peoples are assembled.
Who among them can declare this,
and tell us the former things?
Let them present their witnesses
to vindicate themselves,
so that people may hear and say, “It is true.”
this is the Lord’s declaration—
“and My servant whom I have chosen,
so that you may know and believe Me
and understand that I am He.
No god was formed before Me,
and there will be none after Me.
and there is no other Savior but Me.
and not some foreign god
So you are My witnesses”—
this is the Lord’s declaration—
“and
and none can deliver from My hand.
I act, and who can reverse it?”
