043:008 Bring out the blind people who have eyes, and the deaf who have ears. 043:009 Let all the nations be gathered together, and let the peoples be assembled. Who among them can declare this, and show us former things? Let them bring their witnesses, that they may be justified; or let them hear, and say, "That is true." 043:010 "You are my witnesses," says Yahweh, "With my servant whom I have chosen; that you may know and believe me, and understand that I am he. Before me there was no God formed, neither will there be after me. 043:011 I myself am Yahweh; and besides me there is no savior. 043:012 I have declared, I have saved, and I have shown; and there was no strange god among you. Therefore you are my witnesses," says Yahweh, "and I am God. 043:013 Yes, since the day was I am he; and there is no one who can deliver out of my hand. I will work, and who can hinder it?" 043:014 Thus says Yahweh, your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel: "For your sake, I have sent to Babylon, and I will bring all of them down as fugitives, even the Chaldeans, in the ships of their rejoicing. 043:015 I am Yahweh, your Holy One, the Creator of Israel, your King." 043:016 Thus says Yahweh, who makes a way in the sea, and a path in the mighty waters; 043:017 who brings forth the chariot and horse, the army and the mighty man (they lie down together, they shall not rise; they are extinct, they are quenched like a wick): 043:018 "Don't remember the former things, and don't consider the things of old. 043:019 Behold, I will do a new thing. It springs forth now. Don't you know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert. 043:020 The animals of the field shall honor me, the jackals and the ostriches; because I give water in the wilderness and rivers in the desert, to give drink to my people, my chosen, 043:021 the people which I formed for myself, that they might set forth my praise. 043:022 Yet you have not called on me, Jacob; but you have been weary of me, Israel. 043:023 You have not brought me of your sheep for burnt offerings; neither have you honored me with your sacrifices. I have not burdened you with offerings, nor wearied you with frankincense. 043:024 You have bought me no sweet cane with money, nor have you filled me with the fat of your sacrifices; but you have burdened me with your sins. You have wearied me with your iniquities. 043:025 I, even I, am he who blots out your transgressions for my own sake; and I will not remember your sins. 043:026 Put me in remembrance. Let us plead together. Set forth your case, that you may be justified. 043:027 Your first father sinned, and your teachers have transgressed against me.
