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^(H) in my sight,
    and because I love^(I) you,
I will give people in exchange for you,
    nations in exchange for your life.
⁵ Do not be afraid,^(J) for I am with you;^(K)
    I will bring your children^(L) from the east
    and gather^(M) you from the west.^(N)
6 I will say to the north, ‘Give them up!’
    and to the south,^(O) ‘Do not hold them back.’
Bring my sons from afar
    and my daughters^(P) from the ends of the earth^(Q)—
