Isaiah 43

You are mine.

and flame will not scorch you.

Ethiopia and Seba in your place.

and nations instead of your life.

and gather you from the west.

and my daughters from the ends of the earth—

yes, whom I have made.’ ”

and the deaf who have ears.

or let them hear, and say, “That is true.”

neither will there be after me.

Besides me, there is no savior.

says Yahweh, “and I am God.

I will work, and who can hinder it?”

Yahweh, your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel says: “For your sake, I have sent to Babylon, and I will bring all of them down as fugitives, even the Chaldeans, in the ships of their rejoicing.

I am Yahweh, your Holy One, the Creator of Israel, your King.”

and a path in the mighty waters,

they are extinct, they are quenched like a wick) says:

and don’t consider the things of old.

and rivers in the desert.

to give drink to my people, my chosen,

that they might declare my praise.

but you have been weary of me, Israel.

nor wearied you with frankincense.

You have wearied me with your iniquities.

and I will not remember your sins.

that you may be justified.

and your teachers have transgressed against me.

and Israel an insult.”
