OEB ISA Chapter 43

ISA 43 ©

43But now – thus says the Lord,

your creator, O Jacob, your maker, O Israel –

fear not, for I have redeemed you,

and called you by name: you are mine.

2When you pass through waters, then I will be with you;

no rivers will bear you away in their flood:

when you walk through fire, you will no wise be scorched,

and the flames will not kindle upon you.


3For I am the Lord your God,

your deliverer, Israel’s Holy One;

Egypt I give as your ransom,

yea, Seba and Cush in your stead,

4because in my sight you are precious,

both honoured and beloved,

those lands I will give as your ransom,

those peoples in your stead.

5Therefore fear not, for I am with you.

I will bring your seed from the sunrise,

and gather you out of the sunset;

6I will say to the north, ‘Give them up;’

and unto the south, ‘Withhold them not.’

Bring in my sons from afar,

and my daughters from the ends of the earth –

7every one who is called by my name,

whom I fashioned and made for my glory.

Israel is the Lord’s witness to the world

8Forth! you folk who have eyes, but are blind;

and you who have ears, yet are deaf.

9The nations are all assembled,

the peoples are gathered together.

Which of them all can declare such a thing,

or announce to us such in advance?

Let them prove themselves right by the witness they bring,

who will say, when they hear, ‘It is true.’


10But you are my witnesses – thus says the Lord

my servants, whom I have chosen,

that they may acknowledge and trust me,

and learn I am ever the same.

No god was formed before me,

and after me will be none.

11I am the Lord,

and saviour beside me is none.


12It was I, and no strange god among you,

who announced and declared and delivered.

You are my witnesses – thus says the Lord

and I am God from of old,

13from henceforth ever the same.

There is none who can snatch from my hand,

and who can reverse what I do?

The deliverance from Babylon more wonderful than the deliverance from Egypt

14Thus says the Lord, your redeemer,

the Holy One of Israel:

for your sake I send unto Babylon,

and down will I bring them in flight.

I will lay the Chaldeans low,

and turn their rejoicing to mourning;

15for I am the Lord, your Holy One,

the creator of Israel, your king.


16Thus says the Lord,

who of old made a way through the Sea,

and a path through the mighty waters;

17who chariot and horse led forth,

the warriors and war-host together –

they lay down, but they rose no more,

they were quenched and put out like a wick –

18think of those old things no more,

nor give heed to those deeds of the old time.

19For see! I am doing a new thing,

already it springs to view:

do you not recognize it?


Yea, a path I will make through the desert,

and rivers in the wilderness;

20the wild beasts will render me honour,

the jackals and the ostriches.

For with water I shower the desert,

the wilderness with streams,

to yield drink to my chosen people,

21the people I formed for myself,

to tell abroad my praise.

Israel’s restoration is due, not to her own merits, but to the Lord’s free grace

22Yet you have not called upon me, O Jacob,

nor wearied yourself about me, O Israel.

23You have not brought unto me

burnt offerings of sheep,

nor did honour me with your sacrifice.


I burdened you not with offerings,

nor wearied you with frankincense;

24you brought me no sweet cane with your money,

you sated me not with the fat of your sacrifice.

But you by your sins have burdened me,

and through your transgressions have wearied me.

25Yet I am he

who blots out your transgressions;

your sins I remember no more.

26Call to my mind your merits,

let us urge our several pleas;

reckon up all that you can,

to prove yourself in the right.

27Your ancient sire was a sinner,

your prophets were rebels against me,

28my Temple your princess profaned;

so Jacob I gave to destruction,

and Israel to reviling.
