Isaiah 43:2-4

EasyEnglish Bible

² When you go through deep water,
    I will be with you.
When you cross dangerous rivers,
    you will not drown.
When you walk through fire,
    it will not burn you.
The flames will not destroy you.^[a]
3 I am the Lord, your God,
    so I will rescue you.
I am Israel's Holy God, your Saviour.
I gave Egypt as the price to buy you back.
    I gave Ethiopia and Seba to their enemies,
    so that you could be free.
⁴ You are very valuable to me.
    You are my special people, and I love you.
So I will give other people to their enemies,
    to keep your lives safe.
Other nations will pay the price,
    instead of you.
