But now thus saith559 the LORD3068 that created1254 thee, O 3290, and he that formed3335 thee, O 3478, Fear3372 not: for I have redeemed1350 thee, I have called7121 thee by thy name8034; thou art mine. When thou passest through5674 the waters4325, I will be with thee; and through the rivers5104, they shall not overflow7857 thee: when thou walkest3212 through1119 the fire784, thou shalt not be burned3554; neither shall the flame3852 kindle1197 upon thee. For I am the LORD3068 thy God430, the Holy One6918 of 3478, thy Saviour3467: I gave5414 4714 for thy ransom3724, 3568 and Seba5434 for thee. Since thou wast precious3365 in my sight5869, thou hast been honourable3513, and I have loved157 thee: therefore will I give5414 men120 for thee, and people3816 for thy life5315. life: or, person Fear3372 not: for I am with thee: I will bring935 thy seed2233 from the east4217, and gather6908 thee from the west4628; I will say559 to the north6828, Give up5414; and to the south8486, Keep not back3607: bring935 my sons1121 from far7350, and my daughters1323 from the ends7097 of the earth776; Even every one3605 that is called7121 by my name8034: for I have created1254 him for my 3519, I have formed3335 him; yea, I have made6213 him. Bring forth3318 the blind5787 people5971 that have3426 eyes5869, and the deaf2795 that have ears241. Let all the nations1471 be gathered6908 together3162, and let the people3816 be assembled622: who among them can declare5046 this, and shew8085 us former things7223? let them bring forth5414 their witnesses5707, that they may be justified6663: or let them hear8085, and say559, It is truth571. Ye are my witnesses5707, saith5002 the LORD3068, and my servant5650 whom I have chosen977: that ye may know3045 and believe539 me, and understand995 that I am he: before6440 me there was no God410 formed3335, neither shall there be after310 me. no: or, nothing formed of God I, even I, am the LORD3068; and beside1107 me there is no saviour3467. I have declared5046, and have saved3467, and I have shewed8085, when there was no strange2114 god among you: therefore ye are my witnesses5707, saith5002 the LORD3068, that I am God410. Yea, before the day3117 was I am he; and there is none that can deliver5337 out of my hand3027: I will work6466, and who shall let7725 it? let it: Heb. turn it back? Thus saith559 the LORD3068, your redeemer1350, the Holy One6918 of 3478; For your sake I have sent7971 to 894, and have brought down3381 all their nobles1281, and the 3778, whose cry7440 is in the ships591. nobles: Heb. bars I am the LORD3068, your Holy One6918, the creator1254 of 3478, your King4428. Thus saith559 the LORD3068, which maketh5414 a way1870 in the sea3220, and a path5410 in the mighty5794 waters4325; Which bringeth forth3318 the 7393 and 5483, the army2428 and the power5808; they shall lie down7901 together3162, they shall not rise6965: they are extinct1846, they are quenched3518 as tow6594. Remember2142 ye not the former things7223, neither consider995 the things of old6931. Behold, I will do6213 a new thing2319; now it shall spring forth6779; shall ye not know3045 it? I will even make7760 a way1870 in the wilderness4057, and rivers5104 in the desert3452. 2416 of the field7704 shall honour3513 me, the dragons8577 and the owls1323 3284: because I give5414 waters4325 in the wilderness4057, and rivers5104 in the desert3452, to give drink8248 to my people5971, my chosen972. owls: or, ostriches: Heb. daughters of the owl This2098 people5971 have I formed3335 for myself; they shall shew forth5608 my praise8416.
