Yasha'Yahu (Isaiah) — 43
The Redeemer of Yashar'AL
1 This is what 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH Dabar, who created you O Ya'aqub, and He who formed you, O Yashar'AL, Fear not for I have redeemed you; I have called you by your Name; You are Mine.
2 When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; when you go through the rivers, they shall not overflow you, When you walk through the fire, you shall not be burned, Nor shall the flame scorch you.
3 For I Am 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH your 𐤀𐤋𐤅𐤄_ALUAH, The Qadash One of Yashar'AL, your Savior; I gave Mitzraym for your ransom, Athiupia and Saba in your place.
4 Since you were precious in My sight, You have been honored, And I have loved you; Therefore I will give men for you, And people for your life.
5 Fear not, for I am with you; I will bring your descendants from the east, and gather you from the west;
6 I will say to the north, ‘Give them up! ’And to the south, ‘Do not keep them back! ’Bring My sons from afar, And My daughters from the ends of the Arath
7 Everyone who is called by My Name, Whom I have created for My kabad; I have formed him, yes I have made him.”
8 Bring out the blind people who have eyes, And the deaf who have ears.
9 Let all the nations be gathered together, And let the people be assembled, Who among them can declare this, and show us former things? Let them bring out their witnesses, that they may be justified; or let them hear and say, “It is truth.”
10 “You are My witnesses,” says 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH, “And My servant whom I have chosen, that you may know and believe Me, and understand that I Am 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH. Before Me there was no 𐤀𐤋𐤅𐤄_ALUAH formed, Nor shall there be after Me.
11 I, even I, Am 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH, and besides Me there is no savior.
12 First I predicted your rescue, then I saved you and proclaimed it to the world, No foreign deities has ever done this, You are witnesses that I AM the only 𐤀𐤋𐤅𐤄_ALUAH,” says 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH.
13 “From eternity to eternity I Am 𐤀𐤋𐤅𐤄_ALUAH, No one can snatch anyone out of my hand, No one can undo what I have done.”
14 This is what 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH Dabar, I Am your Redeemer, The Qadash One of Yashar'AL: “For your sake I will send to Babylun, and bring them all down as fugitives, The Chaldaans who rejoice in their ships.
15 I Am 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH, your Qadash One, the Creator of Yashar'AL, your Ruler.”
16 Thus says 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH, who makes a way in the sea and a path through the mighty waters,
17 Who brings forth the chariot and horse, the army and the power (They shall lie down together, they shall not rise; they are extinguished, they are quenched like a wick):
18 “Do not remember the former things, or consider the things of old.
19 Behold, I will do a new thing, Now it will spring forth; do you not see it? I will even make a road in the wilderness and rivers in the desert.
20 The beast of the field will honor Me, The jackals and the ostriches, Because I give waters in the wilderness And rivers in the desert, to give drink to My people, My chosen.
21 This people I have formed for Myself; They shall declare My Yadah.
Pleading with Unfaithful Yashar'AL
22 “But you have not called upon Me, O Ya'aqub; and you have been weary of Me, O Yashar'AL.
23 You have not brought Me the sheep for your burnt offerings, or have you honored Me with your sacrifices I have not caused you to serve with grain offerings, or wearied you with incense.
24 You have bought Me no sweet cane with money, or have you satisfied Me with the fat of your sacrifices; But you have burdened Me with your sins, You have wearied Me with your iniquities.
25 “I, even I, Am 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH who blots out your transgressions for My own sake; and I will not remember your sins.
26 Put Me in remembrance; Let us contend together; State your case, that you may be acquitted.
27 Your first father sinned, and your mediators have transgressed against Me.
28 Therefore I will profane the princes of the sanctuary; I will give Ya'aqub to the curse, and Yashar'AL to reproaches.
