Dual Panel1But now<6258>, thus<3541> says<559> the LORD<3068>, your Creator<1254>, O Jacob<3290>, And He who formed<3335> you, O Israel<3478>, "Do not fear<3372>, for I have redeemed<1350> you; I have called<7121> you by name<8034>; you are Mine!
2"When<3588> you pass<5674> through the waters<4325>, I will be with you; And through the rivers<5104>, they will not overflow<7857> you. When<3588> you walk<1980> through<1119> the fire<784>, you will not be scorched<3554>, Nor<3808> will the flame<3852> burn<1197> you.
3"For I am the LORD<3068> your God<430>, The Holy<6918> One<6918> of Israel<3478>, your Savior<3467>; I have given<5414> Egypt<4714> as your ransom<3724>, Cush<3568> and Seba<5434> in your place<8478>.
4"Since<4480><834> you are precious<3365> in My sight<5869>, Since you are honored<3513> and I love<157> you, I will give<5414> other men<120> in your place<8478> and other peoples<3816> in exchange<8478> for your life<5315>.
5"Do not fear<3372>, for I am with you; I will bring<935> your offspring<2233> from the east<4217>, And gather<6908> you from the west<4628>.
6"I will say<559> to the north<6828>, 'Give<5414> them up!' And to the south<8486>, 'Do not hold<3607> them back<3607>.' Bring<935> My sons<1121> from afar<7350> And My daughters<1323> from the ends<7097> of the earth<776>,
7Everyone<3605> who is called<7121> by My name<8034>, And whom I have created<1254> for My glory<3519>, Whom I have formed<3335>, even<637> whom I have made<6213>."
8Bring<3318> out the people<5971> who<5787> are blind<5787>, even though they have<3426> eyes<5869>, And the deaf<2795>, even though they have ears<241>.
9All<3605> the nations<1471> have gathered<6908> together<3164> So that the peoples<3816> may be assembled<622>. Who<4310> among them can declare<5046> this<384> And proclaim<8085> to us the former<7223> things<7223>? Let them present<5414> their witnesses<5707> that they may be justified<6663>, Or let them hear<8085> and say<559>, "It is true<571>."
10"You are My witnesses<5707>," declares<5002> the LORD<3068>, "And My servant<5650> whom<834> I have chosen<977>, So that you may know<3045> and believe<539> Me And understand<995> that I am He. Before<6440> Me there was no<3808> God<410> formed<3335>, And there will be none<3808> after<310> Me.
11"I, even I, am the LORD<3068>, And there<369> is no<369> savior<3467> besides<4480><1107> Me.
12"It is I who have declared<5046> and saved<3467> and proclaimed<8085>, And there<369> was no<369> strange<2114> god among you; So you are My witnesses<5707>," declares<5002> the LORD<3068>, "And I am God<410>.
13"Even<1571> from eternity<3117> I am He, And there<369> is none<369> who can deliver<5337> out of My hand<3027>; I act<6466> and who<4310> can reverse<7725> it?"
14Thus<3541> says<559> the LORD<3068> your Redeemer<1350>, the Holy<6918> One<6918> of Israel<3478>, "For your sake<4616> I have sent<7971> to Babylon<894>, And will bring<3381> them all<3605> down<3381> as fugitives<1281>, Even the Chaldeans<3778>, into the ships<591> in which they rejoice<7440>.
15"I am the LORD<3068>, your Holy<6918> One<6918>, The Creator<1254> of Israel<3478>, your King<4428>."
16Thus<3541> says<559> the LORD<3068>, Who makes<5414> a way<1870> through the sea<3220> And a path<5410> through the mighty<5794> waters<4325>,
17Who brings<3318> forth<3318> the chariot<7393> and the horse<5483>, The army<2428> and the mighty<5808> man<5808> (They will lie<7901> down<7901> together<3164> and not rise<6965> again; They have been quenched<3518> and extinguished<3518> like a wick<6594>):
18"Do not call<2142> to mind<2142> the former<7223> things<7223>, Or ponder<995> things<6931> of the past<6931>.
19"Behold<2009>, I will do<6213> something<2319> new<2319>, Now<6258> it will spring<6779> forth<6779>; Will you not be aware<3045> of it? I will even<637> make<7760> a roadway<1870> in the wilderness<4057>, Rivers<5104> in the desert<3452>.
20"The beasts<2421> of the field<7704> will glorify<3513> Me, The jackals<8565> and the ostriches<3284>, Because<3588> I have given<5414> waters<4325> in the wilderness<4057> And rivers<5104> in the desert<3452>, To give<8248> drink<8248> to My chosen<972> people<5971>.
21"The people<5971> whom<2098> I formed<3335> for Myself Will declare<5608> My praise<8416>.
22"Yet you have not called<7121> on Me, O Jacob<3290>; But you have become<3021> weary<3021> of Me, O Israel<3478>.
23"You have not brought<935> to Me the sheep<7716> of your burnt<5930> offerings<5930>, Nor<3808> have you honored<3513> Me with your sacrifices<2077>. I have not burdened<5647> you with offerings<4503>, Nor<3808> wearied<3021> you with incense<3828>.
24"You have bought<7069> Me not sweet<7070> cane<7070> with money<3701>, Nor<3808> have you filled<7301> Me with the fat<2459> of your sacrifices<2077>; Rather<389> you have burdened<5647> Me with your sins<2403>, You have wearied<3021> Me with your iniquities<5771>.
25"I, even I, am the one who wipes<4229> out your transgressions<6588> for My own sake<4616>, And I will not remember<2142> your sins<2403>.
26"Put<2142> Me in remembrance<2142>, let us argue<8199> our case<8199> together<3162>; State<5608> your cause, that you may be proved<6663> right<6663>.
27"Your first<7223> forefather<1> sinned<2398>, And your spokesmen<3917> have transgressed<6586> against Me.
28"So I will pollute<2490> the princes<8269> of the sanctuary<6944>, And I will consign<5414> Jacob<3290> to the ban<2764> and Israel<3478> to revilement<1421>.
