Isaiah 43:28--44:2

43:28 So I defiled your holy princes,

and handed Jacob over to destruction,

and subjected Israel to humiliating abuse.”

The Lord Will Renew Israel

44:1 “Now, listen, Jacob my servant,

Israel whom I have chosen!”

44:2 This is what the Lord, the one who made you, says –

the one who formed you in the womb and helps you:

“Don’t be afraid, my servant Jacob,

Jeshurun, whom I have chosen!


tn The word “subjected” is supplied in the translation for stylistic reasons.

sn Jeshurun is a poetic name for Israel; it occurs here and in Deut 32:15; 33:5, 26.
