Daily Bible CEV July 10 Verses

The LORD Has Rescued His People

Isaiah 43 Descendants of Jacob, I, the LORD, created you

and formed your nation.

Israel, don't be afraid. I have rescued you.

I have called you by name; now you belong to me.

²When you cross deep rivers, I will be with you,

and you won't drown.

When you walk through fire, you won't be burned

or scorched by the flames.

³I am the LORD, your God, the Holy One of Israel,

the God who saves you.

I gave up Egypt, Ethiopia, and the region of Seba

in exchange for you.

⁴To me, you are very dear, and I love you.

That's why I gave up nations and people to rescue you.

⁵Don't be afraid! I am with you.

From both east and west I will bring you together.

⁶I will say to the north and to the south,

"Free my sons and daughters!

Let them return from distant lands.

⁷They are my people-- I created each of them

to bring honor to me."

The LORD Alone Is God

The LORD said:

⁸Bring my people together. They have eyes and ears,

but they can't see or hear.

⁹Tell everyone of every nation to gather around.

None of them can honestly say, "We told you so!"

If someone heard them say this, then tell us about it now.

¹⁰My people, you are my witnesses and my chosen servant.

I want you to know me, to trust me,

and understand that I alone am God.

I have always been God; there can be no others.

¹¹I alone am the LORD; only I can rescue you.

¹²

I promised to save you, and I kept my promise.

You are my witnesses that no other god did this.

I, the LORD, have spoken.

¹³I am God now and forever.

No one can snatch you from me or stand in my way.
