³ For I am the Lord your God,^(A)
    the Holy One^(B) of Israel, your Savior;^(C)
I give Egypt^(D) for your ransom,
    Cush^[a](E) and Seba^(F) in your stead.^(G)

⁴ Since you are precious and honored^(A) in my sight,
    and because I love^(B) you,
I will give people in exchange for you,
    nations in exchange for your life.

⁸ Do not tremble, do not be afraid.
    Did I not proclaim^(A) this and foretell it long ago?
You are my witnesses. Is there any God^(B) besides me?
    No, there is no other Rock;^(C) I know not one.”
