Isaiah 43:2 When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow you… During the sixteen weeks in which Sir Bartle Frere was dying, though he was nearly always in great pain, not one murmur escaped him. Just at the end he said, "I have looked down into the great abyss, but God has never left me through it all." "Name that Name when I am in pain," he once said to his wife; "it calls me back." (Quiver.) Parallel Verses KJV: When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee. |
