Isa 43:1-15ut now, this is what the LORD says — he who created you, O Jacob,he who formed you, O Israel:"Fear not, for I have redeemed you;I have summoned you by name; you are mine. 2 When you pass through the waters,I will be with you;and when you pass through the rivers,they will not sweep over you.When you walk through the fire,you will not be burned;the flames will not set you ablaze. 3 For I am the LORD, your God,the Holy One of Israel, your Savior;I give Egypt for your ransom,Cush and Seba in your stead. 4 Since you are precious and honored in my sight,and because I love you,I will give men in exchange for you,and people in exchange for your life. 5 Do not be afraid, for I am with you;I will bring your children from the eastand gather you from the west. 6 I will say to the north, 'Give them up!'and to the south, 'Do not hold them back.'Bring my sons from afarand my daughters from the ends of the earth — 7 everyone who is called by my name,whom I created for my glory,whom I formed and made." 8 Lead out those who have eyes but are blind,who have ears but are deaf. 9 All the nations gather togetherand the peoples assemble.Which of them foretold thisand proclaimed to us the former things?Let them bring in their witnesses to prove they were right,so that others may hear and say, "It is true." 10 "You are my witnesses," declares the LORD,"and my servant whom I have chosen,so that you may know and believe meand understand that I am he.Before me no god was formed,nor will there be one after me. 11 I, even I, am the LORD,and apart from me there is no savior. 12 I have revealed and saved and proclaimed — I, and not some foreign god among you.You are my witnesses," declares the LORD, "that I am God. 13 Yes, and from ancient days I am he.No one can deliver out of my hand.When I act, who can reverse it?" 14 This is what the LORD says — your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel:"For your sake I will send to Babylonand bring down as fugitives all the Babylonians, in the ships in which they took pride. 15 I am the LORD, your Holy One,Israel's Creator, your King."

Isaiah 43:16-21
This is what the LORD says — he who made a way through the sea,a path through the mighty waters, 17 who drew out the chariots and horses,the army and reinforcements together,and they lay there, never to rise again,extinguished, snuffed out like a wick: 18 "Forget the former things;do not dwell on the past. 19 See, I am doing a new thing!Now it springs up; do you not perceive it?I am making a way in the desertand streams in the wasteland. 20 The wild animals honor me,the jackals and the owls,because I provide water in the desertand streams in the wasteland,to give drink to my people, my chosen, 21 the people I formed for myselfthat they may proclaim my praise.

Weds. Reading
Ps 126:1-127:1
When the LORD brought back the captives to Zion,we were like men who dreamed. 2 Our mouths were filled with laughter,our tongues with songs of joy.Then it was said among the nations,"The LORD has done great things for them." 3 The LORD has done great things for us,and we are filled with joy. 4 Restore our fortunes, O LORD,like streams in the Negev. 5 Those who sow in tearswill reap with songs of joy. 6 He who goes out weeping,carrying seed to sow,will return with songs of joy,carrying sheaves with him.
