New American Standard Bible (NASB)
Isaiah 43
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;
4 And they will spring up among the grass Like poplars by streams of water.’
5 "This one will say, ’I am the Lord’s’; And that one will call on the name of Jacob; And another will write on his hand, ’Belonging to the Lord,’ And will name Israel’s name with honor.
6 "Thus says the Lord, the King of Israel and his Redeemer, the Lord of hosts: ’I am the first and I am the last, And there is no God besides Me.
7 ’Who is like Me? Let him proclaim and declare it; Yes, let him recount it to Me in order, From the time that I established the ancient nation. And let them declare to them the things that are coming And the events that are going to take place.
8 ’Do not tremble and do not be afraid; Have I not long since announced it to you and declared it? And you are My witnesses. Is there any God besides Me, Or is there any other Rock? I know of none.’"
9 Those who fashion a graven image are all of them futile, and their precious things are of no profit; even their own witnesses fail to see or know, so that they will be put to shame.
We pray that this ministry will be a blessing to you and your family.
