The Koine Bible

And now thus says the Lord God, the one who made you, Jacob, the one who formed you, Israel: Do not fear, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by your name; you are mine.

And if you pass through water, I am with you, and rivers shall not sweep you away; and if you pass through fire, you shall not be burned, a flame shall not burn you.

For I am the Lord your God, the Holy One of Israel, who saves you; I made Egypt, Ethiopia, and Sōēnē your ransom in place of you.

Because you were precious in my sight, you were glorified, and I loved you; and I will give many men for you and rulers for your head

Do not fear, because I am with you; from the east I will bring your offspring, and from the west I will gather you.

I will say to the north, Bring; and to the south, Do not hinder; bring my sons from far land, and my daughters from the ends of the earth

everyone who has been called by my name; for in my glory I prepared him and formed him and made him

And I brought out a blind people, and there are eyes, likewise blind and deaf, having ears

All the nations were gathered together at once, and rulers shall be gathered from among them; who will declare these things, or the things from the beginning? Who will declare them to you? Let them bring their witnesses, and let them be justified, and let them say truths.

Be my witnesses, and I am a witness, says the Lord God, and the servant whom I have chosen, so that you may know and believe and understand that I am he; before me no other god came to be, and after me there will not be.

I am God, and there is no one besides me, saving.

I announced and I saved, I reproached, and there was no foreigner among you; you are my witnesses, and I am a witness, says the Lord God

Even from the beginning, and there is none who is delivering out of my hands; I will act, and who will turn it back?

Thus says the Lord God, the one redeeming you, the Holy One of Israel: for your sake I will send to Babylon, and I will raise up all the fugitives, and the Chaldeans shall be bound in ships.

I am the Lord, your God, the Holy One, who showed Israel your king

Thus says the Lord, who gives a way in the sea and a path in mighty water

he who brought out chariots and horse and a strong multitude, but they lay down and shall not rise; they were extinguished like quenched flax

Do not remember the former things, and do not consider the ancient things.

Behold, I am doing new things, which now shall spring up, and you shall know them, and I will make in the wilderness a way, and in the waterless land rivers.

The beasts of the field, sirens, and daughters of ostriches shall bless me, because I have given in the wilderness water and rivers in the waterless place, to give drink to my chosen race.

my people whom I have formed to declare my praises

Yet now you did not call upon me, Jacob, nor did you labor for me, Israel.

You did not bring me sheep of your whole burnt offerings, nor did you glorify me with your sacrifices, nor did I make you weary with frankincense

You did not buy for me incense with silver, nor did I desire the fat of your sacrifices, but in your sins and in your injustices I stood before you

I am, I am the one who wipes out your lawlessnesses, and I will not remember at all

But do you remember, and let us be judged; speak first your lawlessnesses, so that you may be justified
