| 1 | But now thus saith the LORD that created thee, O Jacob, and he that formed thee, O Israel, Fear not: for I have redeemed thee, I have called thee by thy name; thou art mine. |
| 2 | When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee. |
| 3 | For I am the LORD thy God, the Holy One of Israel, thy Savior: I gave Egypt for thy ransom, Ethiopia and Seba for thee. |
| 4 | Since thou wast precious in my sight, thou hast been honorable, and I have loved thee: therefore will I give men for thee, and people for thy life. |
| 5 | Fear not: for I am with thee: I will bring thy seed from the east, and gather thee from the west; |
| 6 | I will say to the north, Give up; and to the south, Keep not back: bring my sons from far, and my daughters from the ends of the earth; |
| 7 | Even every one that is called by my name: for I have created him for my glory, I have formed him; yea, I have made him. |
| 8 | Bring forth the blind people that have eyes, and the deaf that have ears. |
| 9 | Let all the nations be gathered together, and let the people be assembled: who among them can declare this, and show us former things? let them bring forth their witnesses, that they may be justified: or let them hear, and say, It is truth. |
| 10 | Ye are my witnesses, saith the LORD, and my servant whom I have chosen: that ye may know and believe me, and understand that I am he: before me there was no God formed, neither shall there be after me. |
| 11 | I, even I, am the LORD; and beside me there is no savior. |
| 12 | I have declared, and have saved, and I have showed, when there was no strange god among you: therefore ye are my witnesses, saith the LORD, that I am God. |
| 13 | Yea, before the day was I am he; and there is none that can deliver out of my hand: I will work, and who shall let it? |
| 14 | Thus saith the LORD, your redeemer, the Holy One of Israel; For your sake I have sent to Babylon, and have brought down all their nobles, and the Chaldeans, whose cry is in the ships. |
| 15 | I am the LORD, your Holy One, the creator of Israel, your King. |
| 16 | Thus saith the LORD, which maketh a way in the sea, and a path in the mighty waters; |
| 17 | Which bringeth forth the chariot and horse, the army and the power; they shall lie down together, they shall not rise: they are extinct, they are quenched as tow. |
| 18 | Remember ye not the former things, neither consider the things of old. |
| 19 | Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert. |
| 20 | The beast of the field shall honor me, the dragons and the owls: because I give waters in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert, to give drink to my people, my chosen. |
| 21 | This people have I formed for myself; they shall show forth my praise. |
