43 But now thus saith Hashem that created thee, O Ya’akov, And He that formed thee, O Yisroel, Fear not; for I have redeemed thee, I have called thee by thy shem; thou art Mine.

² When thou passest through the mayim, I will be with thee; and through the neharot, they shall not overflow thee: when thou walkest through the eish, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee.

³ For I am Hashem Eloheicha, the Kadosh Yisroel, thy Moshi’a: I gave Mitzrayim for thy kofer (ransom), Kush and Seva in thy place.

⁴ Since thou wast precious in My sight, thou hast been honored, and I have loved thee: therefore will I give adam [see Isaiah 53:8] in exchange for thee, and people in exchange for thy nefesh.

⁵ Fear not; for I am with thee: I will bring thy zera from the mizrach (east), and gather thee from the ma’arav (west);

⁶ I will say to the tzafon (north), Give them up; and to the teiman (south), hold not back; bring My banim from afar, and My banot from the ketzeh ha’aretz;

⁷ Even every one that is called by My Shem, whom I have created for My kavod, whom I have formed and I have made.

⁸ Bring forth the Am Ivver that have eyes, and the chereshim that have oznayim.

⁹ Let kol HaGoyim be gathered together, and let the peoples be assembled; who among them can declare this, and show us rishonot (former things)? Let them bring forth their edim (witnesses), that they may be vindicated: or let them hear, and say, It is emes.

¹⁰ Ye are My edim (witnesses), saith Hashem. And Avdi whom I have chosen; so that ye may know and believe Me, and understand that Ani Hu (I am He); before Me there was no El formed, neither shall there be after Me.

¹¹ I, even I, am Hashem; and apart from Me there is no Moshi’a.

¹² I have declared, and have saved, and I have proclaimed, when there was no zar (foreign) [g-d] among you; therefore you [plural] are My edim (witnesses), saith Hashem, that I am El.

¹³ Yes, before the yom was, Ani Hu (I am He); and there is none that can deliver out of My Yad; I work, and who shall reverse it?

¹⁴ Thus saith Hashem, your Go’el, the Kadosh Yisroel; For your sake [see Isaiah 45:4] I have sent to Babylon, and I shall bring down the fugitives, all of them, even the Kasdim (Chaldeans), whose shout of joy is in the ships.

¹⁵ I am Hashem, your Kadosh, the Boreh Yisroel, your Melech.

¹⁶ Thus saith Hashem, which maketh a derech in the yam, and a path in the mayim azzim (mighty waters);

¹⁷ Which drew out the merkavah and sus, the army and warrior; they shall lie down together, they shall not rise; they are extinct, they are quenched like a wick.

¹⁸ Remember ye not the rishonot (former things) neither consider kadmoniyyot (the things of old).

¹⁹ Hineni, I am doing a chadashah (new thing); now titzmach (it shall spring forth; Tzemach); shall ye not perceive it? I will even make a derech in the midbar, and neharot in the desert.

²⁰ The animal of the wild shall honor Me, the jackals and the ostriches; because I give mayim in the midbar, and neharot in the desert, to give drink to My People, My Bachir.

²¹ This people have I formed for Myself; they shall show forth My tehillah (praise).

²² But thou hast not called upon Me, O Ya’akov; but thou hast been weary of Me, O Yisroel.

²³ Thou hast not brought Me the seh (lamb) of thy olot; neither hast thou honored Me with thy zevakhim. I have not caused thee to serve with a minchah, nor wearied thee with levonah (incense, frankincense).

²⁴ Thou hast bought Me no fragrant calamus with kesef, neither hast thou filled Me with the chelev of thy zevakhim; but thou hast made Me to serve with thy chattot, thou hast wearied Me with thine avonot.

²⁵ I, even I, am He that blotteth out thy peysha’im for Mine own sake, and will not remember thy chattot.

²⁶ Put Me in remembrance; let us plead together at law; declare thou, lema’an (for the sake of) thou being declared righteous.

²⁷ Avicha HaRishon hath sinned, and thy melitzim (mediators) have rebelled against Me.

²⁸ Therefore I have profaned the Sarei Kodesh, (Holy Princes) and have given Ya’akov to cherem, and Yisroel to giddufim (revilings).
