Isaias

Hebrew Bible, Isaias, Ottley, Cambridge, 1904

25 And be poured upon him fury, his anger, and the violence of war; and it set him on fire round about, and he knew not; and kindled upon him, and he laid it not to heart.

XLIII. 1 And now thus saith the Lord, that created thee, O Jacob, and that formed thee, O Israel, Fear not; for I have redeemed thee, I have called (thee) by thy name, thou (art) mine.

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 scorched, and the flame shall not kindle upon thee.

3 For I am the Lord thy God, the Holy One of Israel, thy Saviour; I have given Egypt for thy ransom, Ethiopia and Seba in thy stead.

4 Since thou art (become) precious in mine eyes, hast been honoured, and I have loved thee; therefore I will give man in thy stead, and people for thy life.

5 Fear not; for I am with thee: I Will bring thy seed from the East, and gather thee from the West:

6 I will say to the North, Give up; and to the South, Keep not back: bring my sons from far, and my daughters from the end of the earth:

[*](4. ‘therefore,’ Heb. ‘and,’ marking principal clause: ‘thy ’ lit. ‘soul.’)[*](6. ‘Keep not back’: or, ‘restrain not,’)
234

7 Everyone that is called by my name, and that I have created for my glory; that I have formed, yea, have made.
