Isaiah 43:1-5
English Standard Version
Israel's Only Savior
43 But now thus says the Lord,
(A)he who created you, O Jacob,
he who formed you, O Israel:
(B)“Fear not, for I have redeemed you;
(C)I have called you by name, you are mine.
2 (D)When you pass through the waters, I will be with you;
and through the rivers, they shall not overwhelm you;
(E)when you walk through fire (F)you shall not be burned,
and the flame shall not consume you.
3 For (G)I am the Lord your God,
the Holy One of Israel, your Savior.
(H)I give Egypt as your ransom,
Cush and (I)Seba in exchange for you.
4 Because you are precious in my eyes,
and honored, and I love you,
I give men in return for you,
peoples in exchange for your life.
5 (J)Fear not, for I am with you;
(K)I will bring your offspring from the east,
and from the west I will gather you.

43 But now, this is what the Lord says—
he who created(A) you, Jacob,

“Do not fear, for I have redeemed(D) you;
I have summoned you by name;(E) you are mine.(F)

the Holy One(L) of Israel, your Savior;(M)
I give Egypt(N) for your ransom,
Cush[a](O) and Seba(P) in your stead.(Q)
4 Since you are precious and honored(R) in my sight,
and because I love(S) you,
I will give people in exchange for you,
nations in exchange for your life.
5 Do not be afraid,(T) for I am with you;(U)
I will bring your children(V) from the east
and gather(W) you from the west.(X)

English Standard Version
16 Thus says the Lord,
(A)who makes a way in the sea,
a path in the mighty waters,
17 who (B)brings forth chariot and horse,
army and warrior;
they lie down, they cannot rise,
(C)they are extinguished, (D)quenched like a wick:
18 (E)“Remember not the former things,
nor consider the things of old.
19 (F)Behold, I am doing a new thing;
now it springs forth, do you not perceive it?
(G)I will make a way in the wilderness
(H)and rivers in the desert.
20 The wild beasts will honor me,
(I)the jackals and the ostriches,
(J)for I give water in the wilderness,
rivers in the desert,
to give drink to my chosen people,
21 the people whom I formed for myself
(K)that they might declare my praise.

16 This is what the Lord says—
he who made a way through the sea,
a path through the mighty waters,(A)
17 who drew out(B) the chariots and horses,(C)
the army and reinforcements together,(D)
and they lay(E) there, never to rise again,
extinguished, snuffed out like a wick:(F)
18 “Forget the former things;(G)
do not dwell on the past.
19 See, I am doing a new thing!(H)
Now it springs up; do you not perceive it?
I am making a way in the wilderness(I)
and streams in the wasteland.(J)
20 The wild animals(K) honor me,
the jackals(L) and the owls,
because I provide water(M) in the wilderness
and streams in the wasteland,
to give drink to my people, my chosen,
21 the people I formed(N) for myself(O)
that they may proclaim my praise.(P)
