1Now, therefore, Thus, saith Yahweh—Creating thee, O Jacob, and, Fashioning thee, O Israel,—Do not fear, For I have redeemed thee, I have called thee by thy name, Mine, thou art! 2When thou passest through the waters, with thee, I am, Or, through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee,—When thou walkest through fire, thou shall not be scorched, And, a flame, shall not kindle upon thee; 3For, I—Yahweh, am, Thy God, The Holy One of Israel, Ready to save thee,—I have given, as thy ransom, Egypt, Ethiopia and Seba, in thy stead. 4Because thou, art precious in mine eyes, art honoured, And, I, love thee,—And will give, mankind, in thy stead, Yea, peoples, for thy life, 5Do not fear, for, with thee, I am,—From the East, will I bring in thy seed, And, from the West, will I gather thee: 6I will say to the North, Give up! And to the South, Do not withhold! Bring in, My sons from far, and, My daughters, from the end of the earth; 7Every one who is called by my Name, Whom, for mine own glory, I have created—formed—yea, made!

8Bring forth, A blind people, that have, eyes, and, A deaf, that have, ears. 9All the nations, are gathered together, Yea there is an assembling, of peoples, Who, among them, can tell this, And, things in advance, can let us hear? Let them set forth their witnesses, that they may get their right, Or let them hear, and say, Truth! 10Ye, are my witnesses, Declareth Yahweh, And my Servant, whom I have chosen,—That ye may take note—and believe me, And perceive that, I, am He, Before me, was not formed a GOD, Nor, after me, shall one come into being: 11I—I, am Yahweh,—And there is none, besides me, ready to save: 12I, have told—and will save, and make known, That there is, among you, no strange one; And, ye, are my witnesses, Declareth Yahweh, That, I, am GOD. 13Even from Today, I, am He, And none, out of my hand, can deliver,—I work, and who, reverseth?

14Thus, saith Yahweh, Your Redeemer, The Holy One of Israel,—For your sakes, have I sent into Babylon, And will bring down, as fugitives, all of them,—Even the Chaldeans, in the ships which cause them loud outcry. 15I—Yahweh, am, Your Holy One,—The Creator of Israel, Your King. 16Thus, saith Yahweh,—Who setteth, in the sea, a way,—And, in the mighty waters, a path; 17Who bringeth forth Chariot and horse, Force and strength, Together, shall they lie down, They shall not arise, They are extinguished, Like a wick, are they quenched! 18Do not keep in mind, former things,—And, things of old, do not consider: 19Behold me! doing, a new thing, Now, shall it spring forth, Will ye not take note thereof? Surely I will set, In the desert, a way, In a desolate land, rivers: 20The wild beast of the field shall honour, me, Jackals, and ostriches, Because I have given—In the desert, waters, Rivers in, desolate land, To give drink unto my people, my chosen: 21A people which I have fashioned for myself, My praise, shall they record.

22Yet, not upon me, hast thou called, O Jacob,—For thou hast been wearied of me, O Israel: 23Thou hast not brought in to me small cattle as thine ascending-offerings, Nor, with thy sacrifices, hast thou honoured me,—I have not oppressed thee with meal-offerings, Nor have I wearied thee with frankincense; 24Thou hast not bought for me, with silver, fragrant calamus, Nor, with the fat of thy sacrifices, hast thou sated me,—Thou hast done nothing but oppress me, with thy sins, Thou hast wearied me, with thine iniquities. 25I—I, am he that is ready, To wipe out thy transgressions, for mine own sake,—And, thy sins, not remember. 26Put me in mind, Let us enter into judgment, at once,—Recount, thou, that thou mayest be justified: 27Thy chief father, hath sinned, And, thine interpreters, have transgressed against me; 28So then I must needs profane the rulers of the holy place,—And deliver, Jacob, to be devoted to destruction, and, Israel, unto reviling!
