Scriptures

New American Standard Bible (NASB)

Isaiah 43
²¹ "The people whom I formed for Myself Will declare My praise.
²² "Yet you have not called on Me, O Jacob; But you have become weary of Me, O Israel.
²³ "You have not brought to Me the sheep of your burnt offerings, Nor have you honored Me with your sacrifices. I have not burdened you with offerings, Nor wearied you with incense.
²⁴ "You have bought Me not sweet cane with money, Nor have you filled Me with the fat of your sacrifices; Rather you have burdened Me with your sins, You have wearied Me with your iniquities.
²⁵ "I, even I, am the one who wipes out your transgressions for My own sake, And I will not remember your sins.
²⁶ "Put Me in remembrance, let us argue our case together; State your cause, that you may be proved right.
²⁷ "Your first forefather sinned, And your spokesmen have transgressed against Me.
²⁸ "So I will pollute the princes of the sanctuary, And I will consign Jacob to the ban and Israel to revilement.
Isaiah 44
¹ "But now listen, O Jacob, My servant, And Israel, whom I have chosen:
² Thus says the Lord who made you And formed you from the womb, who will help you, ’Do not fear, O Jacob My servant; And you Jeshurun whom I have chosen.
³ ’For I will pour out water on the thirsty land And streams on the dry ground; I will pour out My Spirit on your offspring And My blessing on your descendants;
