O Jacob, the Lord who created you, O Israel, the one who caused you, says now, Do not be afraid, for I have redeemed you. I called you by your name, you are mine.

If you pass through the water, I will be with you. If you cross rivers, the water will not overflow you. If you walk through the fire, you will not be burned, and the flames will not ignite on you.

Because I am the Lord your God, the Holy One of Israel, your savior. I have made Egypt your ransom, and Cush and Zebah your replacement.

Because I consider you precious and honored, and because I love you, I have replaced you with someone and replaced your life with nations.

Don’t be afraid, because I am with you. I will bring your descendants from the east and gather you from the west.

I want to tell the north to hand it over. Tell the south not to detain. Bring my sons from afar, bring my daughters back from the ends of the earth,

It is all those who are called by my name that I have created for my own glory, that I have created, that I have created.

You must bring out the people who are blind with eyes and deaf with ears.

Let nations gather together, let the people gather together. Who among them can declare this and tell us the previous events? They can bring out witnesses, proclaim themselves as true, or they can say when they hear it, that it is true.

The Lord said, You are my witnesses, my chosen servants. In this way, you can know and believe in me, and understand that I am the Lord, and there is no true God before me, and there will be no true God after me.

I am the Lord alone, and there is no savior besides me.

I have instructed, I have saved, I have explained. And there is no other God among you, therefore the Lord says, You are my witnesses, and I am also God.

Ever since the day, I have been a god. No one can save people from my hands. I have to act, but who can stop me?

This is what the Lord, your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel, says: Because of you, I have sent messengers to Babylon, and I will make the Chaldeans like fugitives come down in their own joyful boats.

I am the Lord your Holy One, the creator of Israel, and your king.

The Lord opens his way in the sea and opens his way in the great waters.

Bring out the chariots, horses, soldiers, and warriors, and lie down together without getting up again. They will be extinguished like a extinguished lamp.

Thus says the Lord, Remember not the things of the past, nor dwell on the things of the past.

Look, I’m going to do something new, and now I’m going to discover, don’t you know? I will open roads in the wilderness and rivers in the desert.

The beasts of the wilderness will respect me, and the wild dogs and ostriches will do the same, because I have given water to the wilderness and rivers to the desert, so that I may give my people and my chosen ones a drink.

I have created this people for myself to speak of my virtues.

Jacob, you did not call on me. Israel, you are weary of me.

You did not bring your sheep to me for a burnt offering, nor did you honor me with offerings. I did not make you labor because of the offerings, nor did I tire you of frankincense.

You did not buy me calamus with silver, nor did you satisfy me with the fat of offerings; instead, you made me labor for your sins, and I became weary of your sins.

Only for my own sake do I smear your sins, and I do not remember your sins.

You need to remind me that you and I can debate together, and you can articulate your reasoning and justify yourself.

Your ancestor committed a crime, your master rebelled against me.

So I will bring shame upon the leaders of the sanctuary, making Jacob a curse and Israel a reproach.
