Isaiah 43:28

 1 But now thus says the Lord,  he who created you, O Jacob, he who formed you, O Israel:  “Fear not, for I have redeemed you;  I have called you by name, you are mine.  2  When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and through the rivers, they shall not overwhelm you;  when you walk through fire  you shall not be burned, and the flame shall not consume you.  3 For  I am the Lord your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior.  I give Egypt as your ransom, Cush and  Seba in exchange for you.  4 Because you are precious in my eyes, and honored, and I love you, I give men in return for you, peoples in exchange for your life.  5  Fear not, for I am with you;  I will bring your offspring from the east, and from the west I will gather you.  6 I will say to the north, Give up, and to the south, Do not withhold; bring  my sons from afar and  my daughters from the end of the earth,  7 everyone who is called by my name, whom I created for my glory, whom I formed and made.”  8 Bring out  the people who are blind, yet have eyes, who are deaf, yet have ears!  9  All the nations gather together, and the peoples assemble. Who among them can declare this, and show us the former things? Let them bring their witnesses to prove them right, and let them hear and say, It is true.  10  “You are my witnesses,” declares the Lord, “and  my servant whom I have chosen, that you may know and believe me and understand that I am he.  Before me no god was formed, nor shall there be any after me.  11  I, I am the Lord, and besides me there is no savior.  12 I declared and saved and proclaimed, when there was no strange god among you; and  you are my witnesses,” declares the Lord, “and I am God.  13 Also  henceforth I am he; there is none who can deliver from my hand; I work, and who can turn it back?”  14 Thus says the Lord, your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel:  “For your sake I send to Babylon and  bring them all down as fugitives,  even the Chaldeans, in the ships in which they rejoice.  15 I am the Lord, your Holy One, the Creator of Israel, your King.”  16 Thus says the Lord,  who makes a way in the sea, a path in the mighty waters,  17 who  brings forth chariot and horse, army and warrior; they lie down, they cannot rise,  they are extinguished,  quenched like a wick:  18  “Remember not the former things, nor consider the things of old.  19  Behold, I am doing a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it?  I will make a way in the wilderness  and rivers in the desert.  20 The wild beasts will honor me,  the jackals and the ostriches,  for I give water in the wilderness, rivers in the desert, to give drink to my chosen people,  21     the people whom I formed for myself  that they might declare my praise.  22 “Yet you did not call upon me, O Jacob; but  you have been weary of me, O Israel!  23  You have not brought me your sheep for burnt offerings, or honored me with your sacrifices. I have not burdened you with offerings,  or wearied you with frankincense.  24 You have not bought me sweet cane with money, or satisfied me with the fat of your sacrifices. But you have burdened me with your sins; you have wearied me with your iniquities.  25 “I, I am he  who blots out  your transgressions for my own sake, and I will not remember your sins.  26 Put me in remembrance;  let us argue together; set forth your case, that you may be proved right.  27  Your first father sinned, and  your mediators transgressed against me.  28 Therefore  I will profane the princes of the sanctuary, and  deliver Jacob to utter destruction and Israel to reviling.

From Wikipedia: 

The English Standard Version (ESV) is an English translation of the Bible. The ESV was published in 2001 by Crossway, having been "created by a team of more than 100 leading evangelical scholars and pastors." The ESV relies on recently published critical editions of the original Hebrew and Greek texts. Crossway claim that the ESV continues a legacy begun by the Tyndale New Testament of precision and faithfulness in English translation of the original text, followed in the same standard by "the King James Version of 1611 (KJV), the English Revised Version of 1885 (RV), the American Standard Version of 1901 (ASV), and the Revised Standard Version of 1952 and 1971." Crossway describes the ESV as a translation that "emphasizes 'word-for-word' accuracy, literary excellence, and depth of meaning." Crossway also describes the ESV as a translation that adheres to an "essentially literal" translation philosophy, taking into account "differences in grammar, syntax, and idiom between current literary English and the original languages."

The ESV is derived from the 1971 text edition of the Revised Standard Version (RSV). ESV Translation Oversight Committee member Wayne Grudem claims that approximately eight percent (or about 60,000 words) of the 1971 RSV text being used for the ESV was revised as of first publication in 2001. Grudem states that the committee removed "every trace of liberal influence that had caused such criticism from evangelicals when the RSV was first published in 1952." Although, Grudem also states that much of the 1971 RSV text left unchanged by the committee "is simply 'the best of the best' of the KJV tradition."

With regard to gender language, the ESV Translation Oversight Committee state that "the goal of the ESV is to render literally what is in the original."[9] The committee expands on this position in claiming that, although the ESV avoids using gender-neutral language (for the purpose of preserving contextual meaning found in the original text), the translation does utilize gender-neutral language in specific cases. The committee further state that their objective was "transparency to the original text, allowing the reader to understand the original on its own terms rather than in the terms of our present-day Western culture."[9] The ESV Study Bible often details in its commentary why a complementarian interpretation of the original text may have been rendered in translation.
