Gewilde Bybelverse vanaf Isaiah 43

Look! I’m doing a new thing; now it sprouts up; don’t you recognize it? I’m making a way in the desert, paths in the wilderness.

When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; when through the rivers, they won’t sweep over you. When you walk through the fire, you won’t be scorched and flame won’t burn you.

Don’t remember the prior things; don’t ponder ancient history.

But now, says the LORD— the one who created you, Jacob, the one who formed you, Israel: Don’t fear, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by name; you are mine.

Because you are precious in my eyes, you are honored, and I love you. I give people in your place, and nations in exchange for your life.

I am the LORD your God, the holy one of Israel, your savior. I have given Egypt as your ransom, Cush and Seba in your place.

Don’t fear, I am with you. From the east I’ll bring your children; from the west I’ll gather you.

I, I am the one who wipes out your rebellious behavior for my sake. I won’t remember your sin.

You are my witnesses, says the LORD, my servant, whom I chose, so that you would know and believe me and understand that I am the one. Before me no god was formed; after me there has been no other.

I, I am the LORD, and there is no savior besides me.

From the dawn of time, I am the one. No one can escape my power. I act, and who can undo it?

The beasts of the field, the jackals and ostriches, will honor me, because I have put water in the desert and streams in the wilderness to give water to my people, my chosen ones, this people whom I formed for myself, who will recount my praise.

I’ll say to the north, “Give them back!” and to the south, “Don’t detain them.” Bring my sons from far away, and my daughters from the end of the earth, everyone who is called by my name and whom I created for my glory, whom I have formed and made.

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 battalion; they will lie down together and will not rise; they will be extinguished, extinguished like a wick.

I am the LORD, your holy one, Israel’s creator, your king!
