Isaiah - Chapter 43
  
  
| Isa 43:1 | ¶ | But now thus saith the LORD that created thee, O Jacob, and he that formed thee, O Israel, Fear not: for I have redeemed thee, I have called [thee] by thy name; thou [art] mine. |
  
  
| Isa 43:2 | | When thou passest through the waters, I [will be] with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee. |
  
  
| Isa 43:3 | | For I [am] the LORD thy God, the Holy One of Israel, thy Saviour: I gave Egypt [for] thy ransom, Ethiopia and Seba for thee. |

| Isa 43:9 | | Let all the nations be gathered together, and let the people be assembled: who among them can declare this, and shew us former things? let them bring forth their witnesses, that they may be justified: or let them hear, and say, [It is] truth. |
  
  
| Isa 43:10 | | Ye [are] my witnesses, saith the LORD, and my servant whom I have chosen: that ye may know and believe me, and understand that I [am] he: before me there was no God formed, neither shall there be after me. |
  
  
| Isa 43:11 | | I, [even] I, [am] the LORD; and beside me [there is] no saviour. |
  
  
| Isa 43:12 | | I have declared, and have saved, and I have shewed, when [there was] no strange [god] among you: therefore ye [are] my witnesses, saith the LORD, that I [am] God. |
  
  
| Isa 43:13 | | Yea, before the day [was] I [am] he; and [there is] none that can deliver out of my hand: I will work, and who shall let it? |

| Isa 43:23 | | Thou hast not brought me the small cattle of thy burnt offerings; neither hast thou honoured me with thy sacrifices. I have not caused thee to serve with an offering, nor wearied thee with incense. |
  
  
| Isa 43:24 | | Thou hast bought me no sweet cane with money, neither hast thou filled me with the fat of thy sacrifices: but thou hast made me to serve with thy sins, thou hast wearied me with thine iniquities. |
