But now thus saith the LORD that created thee, O Jacob, and he that formed thee, O Israel, Fear not: for I have redeemed thee, I have called thee by thy name; thou art mine.
Even every one that is called by my name: for I have created him for my glory, I have formed him; yea, I have made him.

New Defender's Study Bible Notes

43:1 The LORD that created thee. The nation Israel had been a special creation of God, through a series of mighty miracles of creation. It has also been “formed” through various ongoing miracles of providential preservation, and will one day be completely redeemed by the same Creator/Savior (Romans 11:26-27).


43:7 for my glory. Although this affirmation was especially applied to Israel, the principle is universal, answering the great question as to God’s purpose in creation. It was “for my glory!” See also Revelation 4:11.


43:7 made him. Note that man is “created,” “formed” and “made.” Compare Genesis 1:26-27; 2:7.
