Isaiah 43:4-6

International Standard Version

⁴ Since you’re precious in my sight
    and honored,
and because I love you,
    I’m giving up people in your place,
    and nations in exchange for your life.”

⁵ “Don’t be afraid, for I am with you;
    I’ll bring your children from the east,
        and gather you from the west.
⁶ I’ll say to the north,
    ‘Give them up’!
and to the south,
    ‘Don’t keep them back!’

    and my daughters from the ends of the earth—
