1 Now, this is what the LORD says, the one who created you, O Jacob, and formed you, O Israel: |Don't be afraid, for I will protect you. I call you by name, you are mine. 2 When you pass through the waters, I am with you; when you pass through the streams, they will not overwhelm you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not harm you. 3 For I am the LORD your God, the Holy One of Israel, your deliverer. I have handed over Egypt as a ransom price, Ethiopia and Seba in place of you. 4 Since you are precious and special in my sight, and I love you, I will hand over people in place of you, nations in place of your life. Isaiah 43:1-4, New English Translation. Copyright © 1996-2017 by Biblical Studies Press.
