Isaiah 43:1-7

Lexham English Bible

he who created you, Jacob,
    and he who formed you, Israel:
“You must not fear, for I have redeemed you.
    I have called you by your name; you are mine.^[a]
2 When you pass through the waters, I will be with you,
    and through the rivers, they shall not flow over you.
When you walk through fire, you shall not be burned,
    and the flame shall not scorch^[b] you.
³ For I am Yahweh, your God,
    the holy one of Israel, your savior.
I give you Egypt as ransom,
    Cush and Seba in place of you.
⁴ Because you are precious in my eyes,
    you are honored, and I myself love you,
and I give people in place of you,
    and nations in place of your life.
⁵ You must not fear,
    for I am with you.
I will bring your offspring^[c] from the east,
    and I will gather you from the west.
⁶ I will say to the north, ‘Give!’
    and to the south, ‘You must not withhold!’
Bring my sons from far away,
and my daughters from the end of the earth—
⁷ everyone who is called by my name,
    and whom I created for my glory,
whom I formed,
    indeed whom I made.”
