Isaiah 43: Yahweh declares his love to Israel, despite its sins.

 In Isaiah 43 we read:
. the Lord takes care of Israel and declares his love :

43 1 Yahweh created Jacob and formed Israel. Now, this is what Yahweh says:

Do not be afraid, because I have reclaimed you.
    I have called you by name; you are mine.

2
When you go through the sea, I am with you.
    When you go through rivers, they will not sweep you away.
    When you walk through fire, you will not be burned,
    and the flames will not harm you.

4
Since you are precious to me, you are honored and I love you.
    I will exchange others for you.
        Nations will be the price I pay for your life.

. The Lord reveal his plans to Israel:

9
All nations have gathered together, and people have assembled.
    Who among them could have revealed this?
    Who among them could have foretold this to us?
        They should bring their witnesses to prove that they were right.
            Let the people hear them. Then they will say that it is true.

10
“You are my witnesses,” declares Yahweh.
    “I have chosen you as my servant
    so that you can know and believe in me
        and understand that I am the one who did this.
    No god was formed before me,
    and there will be none after me.
11
I alone am Yahweh,
    and there is no savior except me.
12
I have revealed it to you, I have saved you,
    and I have announced it to you.
        There was no foreign god among you.
    You are my witnesses that I am El,” declares Yahweh.


. The Lord knows that Israel is no good, and the Lord takes the first step to forgive Israel:

22
Jacob, you have not prayed to me.
    Israel, you have grown tired of me.
23
You did not bring me sheep for your burnt offerings
    or honor me with your sacrifices.
    I did not burden you by requiring grain offerings
    or trouble you by requiring incense offerings.
24
You did not buy me any sugar cane with your money
    or satisfy me with the best part of your sacrifices.
    Rather, you burdened me with your sins
    and troubled me with your wrongdoings.

25
I alone am the one who is going to wipe away your rebellious actions
    for my own sake.
        I will not remember your sins anymore.

. The Lord will cause some hardships to Israel (for repentance):

28
That is why I will corrupt the leaders of the holy place.
    I will claim Jacob for destruction.
    I will set up Israel for ridicule.
