Isaiah 43:2-4

New Catholic Bible

² When you pass through the waters,
    I will be with you;
    nor will the waters engulf you.
When you walk through fire,
    you will not be burned;
    the flames will not consume you.
³ For I am the Lord, your God,
    the Holy One of Israel, your savior.
I give Egypt as your ransom,
    Ethiopia and Seba^[a] in exchange for you.
⁴ Because in my eyes you are precious,
    because you are honored and I love you,
I will give people in exchange for you
    and nations in return for your life.
