[1] But now Yahweh who created you, Jacob,
and he who formed you, Israel, says:
“Don’t be afraid, for I have redeemed you.
I have called you by your name.
You are mine.
[2] When you pass through the waters, I will be with you,
and through the rivers, they will not overflow you.
When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned,
and flame will not scorch you.
[3] For I am Yahweh your God,
the Holy One of Israel,
your Savior.
I have given Egypt as your ransom,
Ethiopia and Seba in your place.
[4] Since you have been precious and honored in my sight,
and I have loved you,
therefore I will give people in your place,
and nations instead of your life.
[5] Don’t be afraid, for I am with you.
I will bring your offspring from the east,
and gather you from the west.
[6] I will tell the north, ‘Give them up!’
and tell the south, ‘Don’t hold them back!
Bring my sons from far away,
and my daughters from the ends of the earth—
[7] everyone who is called by my name,
and whom I have created for my glory,
whom I have formed,
yes, whom I have made.’”
[8] Bring out the blind people who have eyes,
and the deaf who have ears.
[9] Let all the nations be gathered together,
and let the peoples be assembled.
Who among them can declare this,
and show us former things?
Let them bring their witnesses, that they may be justified,
or let them hear, and say, “That is true.”
[10] “You are my witnesses,” says Yahweh,
“With my servant whom I have chosen;
that you may know and believe me,
and understand that I am he.
Before me there was no God formed,
neither will there be after me.
[11] I myself am Yahweh.
Besides me, there is no savior.
[12] I have declared, I have saved, and I have shown,
and there was no strange god among you.
Therefore you are my witnesses”,
says Yahweh, “and I am God.
[13] Yes, since the day was, I am he.
There is no one who can deliver out of my hand.
I will work, and who can hinder it?”
[14] 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. [15] I am Yahweh, your Holy One, the Creator of Israel, your King.” [16] Yahweh, who makes a way in the sea,
and a path in the mighty waters,
[17] who brings out the chariot and horse,
the army and the mighty man
(they lie down together, they shall not rise;
they are extinct, they are quenched like a wick) says:
[18] “Don’t remember the former things,
and don’t consider the things of old.
[19] Behold, I will do a new thing.
It springs out now.
Don’t you know it?
I will even make a way in the wilderness,
and rivers in the desert.
[20] The animals of the field, the jackals and the ostriches, shall honor me,
because I give water in the wilderness and rivers in the desert,
to give drink to my people, my chosen,
[21] the people which I formed for myself,
that they might declare my praise.
[22] Yet you have not called on me, Jacob;
but you have been weary of me, Israel.
[23] You have not brought me any of your sheep for burnt offerings,
neither have you honored me with your sacrifices.
I have not burdened you with offerings,
nor wearied you with frankincense.
[24] You have bought me no sweet cane with money,
nor have you filled me with the fat of your sacrifices,
but you have burdened me with your sins.
You have wearied me with your iniquities.
[25] I, even I, am he who blots out your transgressions for my own sake;
and I will not remember your sins.
[26] Put me in remembrance.
Let us plead together.
Declare your case,
that you may be justified.
[27] Your first father sinned,
and your teachers have transgressed against me.
[28] Therefore I will profane the princes of the sanctuary;
and I will make Jacob a curse,
and Israel an insult.”
King James Version
[1] But now thus saith H559 the Lord H3068 that created H1254 thee, O Jacob, H3290 and he that formed H3335 thee, O Israel, H3478 Fear H3372 not: for I have redeemed H1350 thee, I have called H7121 thee by thy name; H8034 thou art mine. [2] When thou passest through H5674 the waters, H4325 I will be with thee; and through the rivers, H5104 they shall H7857 not H3808 overflow H7857 thee: when thou walkest H3212 through H1119 the fire, H784 thou shalt not be burned; H3554 neither shall the flame H3852 kindle H1197 upon thee. [3] For I am the Lord H3068 thy God, H430 the Holy One H6918 of Israel, H3478 thy Saviour: H3467 I gave H5414 Egypt H4714 for thy ransom, H3724 Ethiopia H3568 and Seba H5434 for thee. [4] Since thou wast precious H3365 in my sight, H5869 thou hast been honourable, H3513 and I have loved H157 thee: therefore will I give H5414 men H120 for thee, and people H3816 for thy life. H5315§ [5] Fear H3372 not: for I am with thee: I will bring H935 thy seed H2233 from the east, H4217 and gather H6908 thee from the west; H4628 [6] I will say H559 to the north, H6828 Give up; H5414 and to the south, H8486 Keep not back: H3607 bring H935 my sons H1121 from far, H7350 and my daughters H1323 from the ends H7097 of the earth; H776 [7] even every one H3605 that is called H7121 by my name: H8034 for I have created H1254 him for my glory, H3519 I have formed H3335 him; yea, I have made H6213 him. [8] Bring forth H3318 the blind H5787 people H5971 that have H3426 eyes, H5869 and the deaf H2795 that have ears. H241 [9] Let all the nations H1471 be gathered H6908 together, H3162 and let the people H3816 be assembled: H622 who among them can declare H5046 this, and shew H8085 us former things? H7223 let them bring forth H5414 their witnesses, H5707 that they may be justified: H6663 or let them hear, H8085 and say, H559 It is truth. H571 [10] Ye are my witnesses, H5707 saith H5002 the Lord, H3068 and my servant H5650 whom H834 I have chosen: H977 that ye may know H3045 and believe H539 me, and understand H995 that I am he: before H6440 me there was no God H410 formed, H3335§ neither shall there be after H310 me. [11] I, even I, am the Lord; H3068 and beside H1107 me there is no saviour. H3467 [12] I have declared, H5046 and have saved, H3467 and I have shewed, H8085 when there was no strange H2114 god among you: therefore ye are my witnesses, H5707 saith H5002 the Lord, H3068 that I am God. H410 [13] Yea, before the day H3117 was I am he; and there is none that can deliver H5337 out of my hand: H3027 I will work, H6466 and who shall let H7725 it?§

Fall of Babylon

[14] Thus H3541 saith H559 the Lord, H3068 your redeemer, H1350 the Holy One H6918 of Israel; H3478 For your sake I have sent H7971 to Babylon, H894 and have brought down H3381 all H3605 their nobles, H1281§ and the Chaldeans, H3778 whose cry H7440 is in the ships. H591
[15] I am the Lord, H3068 your Holy One, H6918 the creator H1254 of Israel, H3478 your King. H4428 [16] Thus H3541 saith H559 the Lord, H3068 which maketh H5414 a way H1870 in the sea, H3220 and a path H5410 in the mighty H5794 waters; H4325 [17] which bringeth forth H3318 the chariot H7393 and horse, H5483 the army H2428 and the power; H5808 they shall lie down H7901 together, H3162 they shall not rise: H6965 they are extinct, H1846 they are quenched H3518 as tow. H6594 [18] Remember H2142 ye not the former things, H7223 neither consider H995 the things of old. H6931 [19] Behold, I will do H6213 a new thing; H2319 now H6258 it shall spring forth; H6779 shall ye not know H3045 it? I will even make H7760 a way H1870 in the wilderness, H4057 and rivers H5104 in the desert. H3452 [20] The beast H2416 of the field H7704 shall honour H3513 me, the dragons H8577 and the owls: H1323§ H3284 because H3588 I give H5414 waters H4325 in the wilderness, H4057 and rivers H5104 in the desert, H3452 to give drink H8248 to my people, H5971 my chosen. H972 [21] This H2098 people H5971 have I formed H3335 for myself; they shall shew forth H5608 my praise. H8416 [22] But thou hast not called H7121 upon me, O Jacob; H3290 but thou hast been weary H3021 of me, O Israel. H3478 [23] Thou hast not brought H935 me the small cattle H7716§ of thy burnt offerings; H5930 neither hast thou honoured H3513 me with thy sacrifices. H2077 I have H5647 not H3808 caused thee to serve H5647 with an offering, H4503 nor wearied H3021 thee with incense. H3828 [24] Thou hast bought H7069 me no sweet cane H7070 with money, H3701 neither hast thou filled H7301 me§ with the fat H2459 of thy sacrifices: H2077 but thou hast made me to serve H5647 with thy sins, H2403 thou hast wearied H3021 me with thine iniquities. H5771 [25] I, even I, am he that blotteth out H4229 thy transgressions H6588 for mine own sake, and will not remember H2142 thy sins. H2403 [26] Put me in remembrance: H2142 let us plead H8199 together: H3162 declare H5608 thou, that thou mayest be justified. H6663 [27] Thy first H7223 father H1 hath sinned, H2398 and thy teachers H3887§ have transgressed H6586 against me. [28] Therefore I have profaned H2490 the princes H8269 of the sanctuary, H6944§ and have given H5414 Jacob H3290 to the curse, H2764 and Israel H3478 to reproaches. H1421

G1344 [27] Οἱ G3588 πατέρες G3962 ὑμῶν G5216 πρῶτοι G4413 καὶ G2532 οἱ G3588 ἄρχοντες G758 αὐτῶν G846 ἠνόμησαν εἰς G1519 ἐμέ, G1691 [28] καὶ G2532 ἐμίαναν G3392 οἱ G3588 ἄρχοντες G758 τὰ G3588 ἅγιά μου, G3450 καὶ G2532 ἔδωκα G1325 ἀπολέσαι G622 Ιακωβ G2384 καὶ G2532 Ισραηλ G2474 εἰς G1519 ὀνειδισμόν.
