1But now thus saith the Lord that created thee, O Jacob,
2When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee;
3For I am the Lord thy God,
4Since thou wast precious in my sight,
5Fear not: for I am with thee:
6I will say to the north, Give up;
7Even every one that is called by my name:
8Bring forth the blind people that have eyes,
9Let all the nations be gathered together,
10Ye are my witnesses, saith the Lord,
11I, even I, am the Lord;
12I have declared, and have saved, and I have shewed,
13Yea, before the day was I am he;
14Thus saith the Lord, your redeemer, the Holy One of Israel;
15I am the Lord, your Holy One,
16Thus saith the Lord, which maketh a way in the sea,
17Which bringeth forth the chariot and horse, the army and the power;
18Remember ye not the former things,
19Behold, I will do a new thing;
20The beast of the field shall honour me,
21This people have I formed for myself;
22But thou hast not called upon me, O Jacob;
23Thou hast not brought me the small cattle of thy burnt offerings;
24Thou hast bought me no sweet cane with money,
25I, even I, am he that blotteth out thy transgressions for mine own sake,
26Put me in remembrance: let us plead together:
27Thy first father hath sinned,
28Therefore I have profaned the princes of the sanctuary,
