When you pass through water,I will be with you;Through streams,They shall not overwhelm you.When you walk through fire,You shall not be scorched;Through flame,It shall not burn you.
All the nations assemble as one,The peoples gather.Who among them declared this,Foretold to us the things that have happened?Let them produce their witnesses and be vindicated,That people, hearing them, may say, “It is true!”aIt is true That the other nations’ gods are real.
My witnesses are you —declares GOD—My servant, whom I have chosen.To the end that youbyou Emendation yields “they.” may take thought,And believe in Me,And understand that I am the One:Before Me no god was formed,And after Me none shall exist—

Do not recall what happened of old,Or ponder what happened of yore!
I am about to do something new;Even now it shall come to pass,Suddenly you shall perceive it:I will make a road through the wildernessAnd riverserivers 1QIsᵃ reads “paths”; cf. v. 16. in the desert.
You have not brought Me your sheep for burnt offerings,Nor honored Me with your sacrifices.I have not burdened you with grain offerings,Nor wearied you about frankincense.
You have not bought Me fragrant reed with money,Nor sated Me with the fat of your sacrifices.Instead, you have burdened Me with your sins,You have wearied Me with your iniquities.
