Fear Not!

【赛44:1】我的仆人雅各、我所拣选的以色列啊，现在你当听！

【赛44:2】造作你，又从你出胎造就你，并要帮助你的耶和华如此说：“我的仆人雅各、我所拣选的耶书仑哪，不要害怕！

【赛44:3】因为我要将水浇灌口渴的人，将河浇灌干旱之地；我要将我的灵浇灌你的后裔，将我的福浇灌你的子孙。

【赛44:4】他们要发生在草中，像溪水旁的柳树。

【赛44:5】这个要说，我是属耶和华的；那个要以雅各的名自称；又一个要亲手写归耶和华的（或作“在手上写归耶和华”），并自称为以色列。”

【赛44:6】耶和华以色列的君、以色列的救赎主万军之耶和华如此说：“我是首先的，我是末后的，除我以外再没有真神。

【赛44:7】自从我设立古时的民，谁能像我宣告，并且指明，又为自己陈说呢？让他将未来的事和必成的事说明。

【赛44:8】你们不要恐惧，也不要害怕，我岂不是从上古就说明指示你们吗？并且你们是我的见证。除我以外，岂有真神吗？诚然没有磐石，我不知道一个。”

[44:2]Thus saith the LORD that made thee, and formed thee from the womb, which will help thee; Fear not, O Jacob, my servant; and thou, Jesurun, whom I have chosen.

[44:3]For I will pour water upon him that is thirsty, and floods upon the dry ground: I will pour my spirit upon thy seed, and my blessing upon thine offspring:

[44:4]And they shall spring up as among the grass, as willows by the water courses.

[44:5]One shall say, I am the LORD'S; and another shall call himself by the name of Jacob; and another shall subscribe with his hand unto the LORD, and surname himself by the name of Israel.

[44:6]Thus saith the LORD the King of Israel, and his redeemer the LORD of hosts; I am the first, and I am the last; and beside me there is no God.

[44:7]And who, as I, shall call, and shall declare it, and set it in order for me, since I appointed the ancient people? and the things that are coming, and shall come, let them shew unto them.

[44:8]Fear ye not, neither be afraid: have not I told thee from that time, and have declared it? ye are even my witnesses. Is there a God beside me? yea, there is no God; I know not any.God; I: Heb. rock, etc
