But now, this is what the Lord says, He who is your Creator, Jacob. And He who formed you, Israel: "Do not fear, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by name; you are Mine! When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and through the rivers, they will not overflow you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be scorched, nor will the flame burn you. For I am the Lord your God. The Holy One of Israel, your Savior. I have given Egypt as your ransom, Cush and Seba in exchange for you. Since you are precious in My sight, since you are honored and I love you, I will give other people in your place and other nations in exchange for your life. Do not fear, for I am with you; I will bring your offspring from the east and gather you from the west. ISAIAH 43: 1-5
