Isa 44:1-8, 21 | ESV | STEP | But now hear , O Jacob my servant , Israel whom I have chosen !

Isaiah 44:1-8

Israel the Lord’s Chosen

1 “But now hear, ^aO Jacob my servant,
Israel whom I have chosen!
2 Thus says the Lord who made you,
^bwho formed you from the womb and will help you:
^cFear not, O Jacob my servant,
^dJeshurun whom I have chosen.
3 ^eFor I will pour water on the thirsty land,
and streams on the dry ground;
I will pour my Spirit upon your offspring,
and my blessing on your descendants.
4 They shall spring up among the grass
^flike willows by flowing streams.
5 ^gThis one will say, ‘I am the Lord’s,’
another will call on the name of Jacob,
and another will write on his hand, ‘The Lord’s,’
and name himself by the name of Israel.”

Besides Me There Is No God

6 Thus says the Lord, the King of Israel
and ^hhis Redeemer, the Lord of hosts:
ⁱ“I am the first and I am the last;
besides me there is no god.
7 ^jWho is like me? Let him proclaim it. ^{▼▼Or Who like me can proclaim it?}
Let him declare and set it before me,
since I appointed an ancient people.
Let them declare what is to come, and what will happen.
8 Fear not, nor be afraid;
have I not told you from of old and declared it?
^lAnd you are my witnesses!
^mIs there a God besides me?
There is no ⁿRock; I know not any.”

Isaiah 44:21

The Lord Redeems Israel

21 Remember these things, O Jacob,
and Israel, for you are ^omy servant;
I formed you; you are my servant;
^pO Israel, you will not be forgotten by me.
