| 2[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 2When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and through the rivers, they shall not overwhelm you; when you walk through fire you shall not be burned, and the flame shall not consume you. |
| 3[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 3For I am the LORD your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior. I give Egypt as your ransom, Cush and Seba in exchange for you. |
| 4[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 4Because you are precious in my eyes, and honored, and I love you, I give men in return for you, peoples in exchange for your life. |
| 5[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 5Fear not, for I am with you; I will bring your offspring from the east, and from the west I will gather you. |
| 6[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 6I will say to the north, Give up, and to the south, Do not withhold; bring my sons from afar and my daughters from the end of the earth, |
| 7[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 7everyone who is called by my name, whom I created for my glory, whom I formed and made.” |
| 8[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 8Bring out the people who are blind, yet have eyes, who are deaf, yet have ears! |
| 9[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 9All the nations gather together, and the peoples assemble. Who among them can declare this, and show us the former things? Let them bring their witnesses to prove them right, and let them hear and say, It is true. |
| 10[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 10“You are my witnesses,” declares the LORD, “and my servant whom I have chosen, that you may know and believe me and understand that I am he. Before me no god was formed, nor shall there be any after me. |
| 11[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 11I, I am the LORD, and besides me there is no savior. |
| 12[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 12I declared and saved and proclaimed, when there was no strange god among you; and you are my witnesses,” declares the LORD, “and I am God. |
| 13[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 13Also henceforth I am he; there is none who can deliver from my hand; I work, and who can turn it back?” |
| 14[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 14Thus says the LORD, your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel: “For your sake I send to Babylon and bring them all down as fugitives, even the Chaldeans, in the ships in which they rejoice. |
| 15[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 15I am the LORD, your Holy One, the Creator of Israel, your King.” |
| 16[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 16Thus says the LORD, who makes a way in the sea, a path in the mighty waters, |
| 17[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 17who brings forth chariot and horse, army and warrior; they lie down, they cannot rise, they are extinguished, quenched like a wick: |
| 18[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 18“Remember not the former things, nor consider the things of old. |
| 19[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 19Behold, I am doing a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it? I will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert. |
| 20[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 20The wild beasts will honor me, the jackals and the ostriches, for I give water in the wilderness, rivers in the desert, to give drink to my chosen people, |
| 21[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 21the people whom I formed for myself that they might declare my praise. |
| 22[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 22“Yet you did not call upon me, O Jacob; but you have been weary of me, O Israel! |
| 23[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 23You have not brought me your sheep for burnt offerings, or honored me with your sacrifices. I have not burdened you with offerings, or wearied you with frankincense. |
| 24[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 24You have not bought me sweet cane with money, or satisfied me with the fat of your sacrifices. But you have burdened me with your sins; you have wearied me with your iniquities. |
| 25[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 25“I, I am he who blots out your transgressions for my own sake, and I will not remember your sins. |
| 26[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 26Put me in remembrance; let us argue together; set forth your case, that you may be proved right. |
| 27[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 27Your first father sinned, and your mediators transgressed against me. |
| 28[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 28Therefore I will profane the princes of the sanctuary, and deliver Jacob to utter destruction and Israel to reviling. |
