But nowh6258, thush3541 saysh559 the LORDh3068, your  aCreatorh1254a, O Jacobh3290, And He who  bformedh3335 you, O Israelh3478, "Do not  cfearh3372a, for I have  dredeemedh1350 you; I have  ecalledh7121 you by nameh8034; you are  fMine!

2

"Whenh3588 you  apassh5674a through the watersh4325,  bI will be with you; And through the riversh5104, they will not overflowh7857 you. Whenh3588 you  cwalkh1980 throughh1119 the fireh784, you will not be scorchedh3554, Norh3808 will the flameh3852 burnh1197a you.

3

"For  aI am the LORDh3068 your Godh430, The Holyh6918 Oneh6918 of Israelh3478, your  bSaviorh3467; I have givenh5414 Egypth4714 as your ransomh3724a,  1 cCushh3568a and Sebah5434 in your placeh8478.

4

"Sinceh4480h834 you are  aprecioush3365 in My sighth5869, Since you are  bhonoredh3513 and I  cloveh157 you, I will giveh5414 other menh120 in your placeh8478 and other peoplesh3816 in exchangeh8478 for your lifeh5315.

5

"Do not fearh3372a, for  aI am with you; I will bringh935  byour offspringh2233 from the easth4217, And  cgatherh6908 you from the westh4628.

6

"I will sayh559 to the  anorthh6828, `Giveh5414 them up!' And to the southh8486, `Do not holdh3607 them backh3607.' Bringh935 My  bsonsh1121 from afarh7350 And My daughtersh1323 from the  cendsh7097a of the earthh776,

7

Everyoneh3605 who is  acalledh7121 by My nameh8034, And whom I have  bcreatedh1254a for My  cgloryh3519b,  dWhom I have formedh3335, evenh637 whom I have madeh6213a."

Israel Is God's Witness

8

Bringh3318 out the peopleh5971a whoh5787 are  ablindh5787, even though they haveh3426 eyesh5869, And the deafh2795, even though they have earsh241.

9

Allh3605 the nationsh1471 have  agatheredh6908 togetherh3164a So that the peoplesh3816 may be assembledh622. Whoh4310 among them can  bdeclareh5046 thish384 And proclaimh8085 to us the formerh7223 thingsh7223? Let them presenth5414  ctheir witnessesh5707  dthat they may be justifiedh6663, Or let them hearh8085 and sayh559, "It is trueh571."

10

"You are  aMy witnessesh5707," declaresh5002 the LORDh3068, "And  bMy servanth5650 whomh834 I have chosenh977, So that you may knowh3045 and believeh539 Me And understandh995 that  cI am He.  dBeforeh6440 Me there was noh3808 Godh410 formedh3335, And there will be noneh3808 afterh310 Me.

11

"I, even I, am the LORDh3068, And thereh369 is noh369  asaviorh3467  bbesidesh4480h1107 Me.

12

"It is I who have declaredh5046 and savedh3467 and proclaimedh8085, And thereh369 was noh369  astrangeh2114a god among you; So you are My witnessesh5707," declaresh5002 the LORDh3068, "And I am Godh410.

13

"Evenh1571  1 afrom eternityh3117  bI am He, And thereh369 is  cnoneh369 who can deliverh5337 out of My handh3027;  dI acth6466 and whoh4310 can reverseh7725 it?"

Babylon to Be Destroyed

14

Thush3541 saysh559 the LORDh3068 your  aRedeemerh1350, the Holyh6918 Oneh6918 of Israelh3478, "For your sakeh4616 I have senth7971 to Babylonh894, And will bringh3381 them allh3605 downh3381 as fugitivesh1281,  1Even the  bChaldeansh3778, into the  cshipsh591  2in which they rejoiceh7440.

15

"I am the LORDh3068, your Holyh6918 Oneh6918,  aThe Creatorh1254a of Israelh3478, your  bKingh4428."

16

Thush3541 saysh559 the LORDh3068, Who  amakesh5414 a wayh1870 through the seah3220 And a pathh5410b through the mightyh5794 watersh4325,

17

Who bringsh3318 forthh3318 the  acharioth7393 and the horseh5483b, The armyh2428 and the mightyh5808 manh5808 (They will lieh7901 downh7901 togetherh3164a and not riseh6965 again; They have been  bquenchedh3518 and extinguishedh3518 like a wickh6594):

18

aDo not callh2142 to mindh2142 the formerh7223 thingsh7223, Or ponderh995 thingsh6931 of the pasth6931.

19

"Beholdh2009, I will doh6213a somethingh2319  anewh2319, Nowh6258 it will springh6779 forthh6779; Will you not be awareh3045 of it? I will evenh637  bmakeh7760 a roadwayh1870 in the wildernessh4057b, Riversh5104 in the deserth3452.

20

"The beastsh2421b of the fieldh7704 will glorifyh3513 Me, The  ajackalsh8565 and the ostrichesh3284, Becauseh3588 I have  bgivenh5414 watersh4325 in the wildernessh4057b And riversh5104 in the deserth3452, To giveh8248 drinkh8248 to My chosenh972 peopleh5971a.

21

"The peopleh5971a whomh2098  aI formedh3335 for Myself  bWill declareh5608 My praiseh8416.

The Shortcomings of Israel

22

"Yet you have not calledh7121 on Me, O Jacobh3290; But you have becomeh3021  awearyh3021 of Me, O Israelh3478.

23

"You have  anot broughth935 to Me the sheeph7716 of your burnth5930a offeringsh5930a, Norh3808 have you  bhonoredh3513 Me with your sacrificesh2077. I have not  cburdenedh5647 you with  1offeringsh4503, Norh3808 weariedh3021 you with  dincenseh3828.

24

"You have boughth7069 Me not  1 asweeth7070 caneh7070 with moneyh3701, Norh3808 have you  2filledh7301 Me with the fath2459 of your sacrificesh2077; Ratherh389 you have burdenedh5647 Me with your sinsh2403b, You have  bweariedh3021 Me with your iniquitiesh5771.

25

"I, even I, am the one who  awipesh4229a out your transgressionsh6588  bfor My own sakeh4616, And I will  cnot rememberh2142 your sinsh2403b.

26

1Puth2142 Me in remembranceh2142,  alet us argueh8199 our caseh8199 togetherh3162; Stateh5608 your cause,  bthat you may be provedh6663 righth6663.

27

"Your  afirsth7223  1forefatherh1 sinnedh2398, And your  2 bspokesmenh3917b have  3transgressedh6586 against Me.

28

"So I will  1polluteh2490c the  2princesh8269 of the sanctuaryh6944, And I will consignh5414 Jacobh3290 to the  abanh2764a and Israelh3478 to  brevilementh1421.
