43 But now, this is what the Lord says—
    he who created^(A) you, Jacob,
    he who formed^(B) you, Israel:^(C)
“Do not fear, for I have redeemed^(D) you;
    I have summoned you by name;^(E) you are mine.^(F)
2 When you pass through the waters,^(G)
    I will be with you;^(H)
and when you pass through the rivers,
    they will not sweep over you.
When you walk through the fire,^(I)
    you will not be burned;
    the flames will not set you ablaze.^(J)
3 For I am the Lord your God,^(K)
    the Holy One^(L) of Israel, your Savior;^(M)
I give Egypt^(N) for your ransom,
    Cush^[a](O) and Seba^(P) in your stead.^(Q)
4 Since you are precious and honored^(R) in my sight,
    and because I love^(S) you,
I will give people in exchange for you,
    nations in exchange for your life.
⁵ Do not be afraid,^(T) for I am with you;^(U)
    I will bring your children^(V) from the east
    and gather^(W) you from the west.^(X)
6 I will say to the north, ‘Give them up!’
    and to the south,^(Y) ‘Do not hold them back.’
Bring my sons from afar
    and my daughters^(Z) from the ends of the earth^(AA)—
⁷ everyone who is called by my name,^(AB)
    whom I created^(AC) for my glory,^(AD)
    whom I formed and made.^(AE)”

¹⁴ This is what the Lord says—
    your Redeemer,^(A) the Holy One^(B) of Israel:
“For your sake I will send to Babylon
    and bring down as fugitives^(C) all the Babylonians,^[a](D)
    in the ships in which they took pride.
¹⁵ I am the Lord,^(E) your Holy One,
    Israel’s Creator,^(F) your King.^(G)”
