You are mine
But now this is what the LORD says, who created you, Jacob, and formed you, Israel: ‘Don't be afraid, because I have redeemed you. I have called you by your name; you are mine.’ ‘When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and through the rivers, they won't overwhelm you. When you walk through the fire, you won't be burned, and the flame won't set you alight.’ ‘For I am the LORD your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Saviour. I gave Egypt for your ransom, Ethiopia and Seba for you.’ ‘Since you were precious in my eyes, you have been honourable, and I have loved you. So I'll give men for you and people for your life.’ ‘Don't be afraid, because I am with you. I'll bring your seed from the east and gather you from the west.’ I'll say to the north, Hand them over, and to the south, Don't hold them back. Bring my sons from far off and my daughters from the ends of the earth — Everyone called by my name, those I created for my glory, those I shaped and made.
But now, this is what the Lord says — the one who created you, Jacob, the one who shaped you, Israel: Don't be afraid, because I've bought you back. I've called you by name. You're mine. When you go through the waters I'll be with you, and through the rivers, they won't sweep over you. When you walk through the fire you won't be burnt, and the flame won't set you alight. Because I'm the Lord your God, the Holy One of Israel, your saviour. I gave Egypt as your ransom, Cush and Seba in your place. Because you were precious in my eyes and honoured, and I loved you — so I'll give people in your place and nations for your life. Don't be afraid, because I'm with you. I'll bring your offspring from the east and gather you from the west. I'll say to the north, Hand them over, and to the south, Don't hold them back. Bring my sons from far off and my daughters from the ends of the earth — everyone called by my name, the ones I created for my glory, the ones I shaped and made.
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. 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. 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. Since thou wast precious in my sight, thou hast been honourable, and I have loved thee: therefore will I give men for thee, and people for thy life. Fear not: for I am with thee: I will bring thy seed from the east, and gather thee from the west; 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 ends of the earth; Even every one that is called by my name: for I have created him for my glory, I have formed him; yea, I have made him.
But now this is what the LORD says, who created you, Jacob, and formed you, Israel: ‘Don't be afraid, because I have redeemed you. I have called you by your name; you are mine.’

‘When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and through the rivers, they won't overwhelm you. When you walk through the fire, you won't be burned, and the flame won't set you alight.’
When you go through the waters I'll be with you, and through the rivers, they won't sweep over you. When you walk through the fire you won't be burnt, and the flame won't set you alight.
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.
‘For I am the LORD your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Saviour. I gave Egypt for your ransom, Ethiopia and Seba for you.’
Because I'm the Lord your God, the Holy One of Israel, your saviour. I gave Egypt as your ransom, Cush and Seba in your place.
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.
‘Since you were precious in my eyes, you have been honourable, and I have loved you. So I'll give men for you and people for your life.’
Because you were precious in my eyes and honoured, and I loved you — so I'll give people in your place and nations for your life.
Since thou wast precious in my sight, thou hast been honourable, and I have loved thee: therefore will I give men for thee, and people for thy life.
‘Don't be afraid, because I am with you. I'll bring your seed from the east and gather you from the west.’
Don't be afraid, because I'm with you. I'll bring your offspring from the east and gather you from the west.
Fear not: for I am with thee: I will bring thy seed from the east, and gather thee from the west;
I'll say to the north, Hand them over, and to the south, Don't hold them back. Bring my sons from far off and my daughters from the ends of the earth —
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 ends of the earth;
Everyone called by my name, those I created for my glory, those I shaped and made.
everyone called by my name, the ones I created for my glory, the ones I shaped and made.
Even every one that is called by my name: for I have created him for my glory, I have formed him; yea, I have made him.
You are my witnesses
Bring out the people who are blind and have eyes, deaf and have ears. Let all the nations gather together and the peoples come together. Which of them announced this and told us the former things? Let them bring their witnesses to be proved right, or let them hear and say, It's true. ‘You are my witnesses,’ says the LORD, ‘and my servant whom I have chosen, so that you may know and believe me, and understand that I am he. Before me no God was formed, and there will be none after me.’ ‘I, even I, am the LORD, and beside me there is no saviour.’ ‘I have declared, saved and shown, when there was no strange god among you. So you are my witnesses,’ says the LORD, ‘that I am God.’ ‘Yes, before the day was, I am he. There is nobody who can deliver out of my hand. I will work, and who can stop it?’

Something new
This is what the LORD says, your redeemer, the Holy One of Israel: For your sake I've sent to Babylon, and I'll bring all of them down as fugitives, the Chaldeans in the ships they were so proud of. I am the LORD, your Holy One, the creator of Israel, your King. This is what the LORD says, who makes a way in the sea and a path in the mighty waters, Who brings out chariot and horse, army and strong man together, and they lie down and won't rise. They're snuffed out, put out like a wick. ‘Don't remember the former things, or live on the things of old.’ ‘I will do a new thing. Now it will spring forth; won't you know it? I'll even make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert.’ ‘The wild animals will honour me — the jackals and the owls — because I provide water in the wilderness and rivers in the desert, giving my chosen people something to drink.’ ‘This people I have formed for myself; they will show forth my praise.’ But you haven't called on me, O Jacob; you have been weary of me, O Israel. You haven't brought me the sheep for your burnt offerings or honoured me with your sacrifices. I haven't put a load on you with offerings or worn you out over incense. You haven't bought me sweet cane with your money or filled me up with the fat of your sacrifices. Instead you've loaded me with your sins and worn me out with your wrongdoing. ‘I, even I, am the one who blots out your wrongdoings for my own sake, and I will not remember your sins.’ Remind me. Let's go to court together. Set out your case, so you can be proved right. Your first father sinned, and those who spoke for you rebelled against me. So I'll treat the officials of the sanctuary as common, and hand Jacob over to destruction and Israel to insults.

I'll even make a road in the wilderness and rivers in the desert. The wild animals will honour me, the jackals and the owls, because I've put water in the wilderness and rivers in the desert, to give my people a drink, my chosen ones — this people I shaped for myself, so they'd tell out my praise.

Thus saith the LORD, your redeemer, the Holy One of Israel; For your sake I have sent to Babylon, and have brought down all their nobles, and the Chaldeans, whose cry is in the ships. I am the LORD, your Holy One, the creator of Israel, your King. Thus saith the LORD, which maketh a way in the sea, and a path in the mighty waters; Which bringeth forth the chariot and horse, the army and the power; they shall lie down together, they shall not rise: they are extinct, they are quenched as tow. Remember ye not the former things, neither consider the things of old. Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert. The beast of the field shall honour me, the dragons and the owls: because I give waters in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert, to give drink to my people, my chosen. This people have I formed for myself; they shall shew forth my praise. But thou hast not called upon me, O Jacob; but thou hast been weary of me, O Israel. 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. 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. I, even I, am he that blotteth out thy transgressions for mine own sake, and will not remember thy sins. Put me in remembrance: let us plead together: declare thou, that thou mayest be justified. Thy first father hath sinned, and thy teachers have transgressed against me. Therefore I have profaned the princes of the sanctuary, and have given Jacob to the curse, and Israel to reproaches.
