43 But now, this is what the Lord says, He who is your ^(A)Creator, Jacob,
And He who ^(B)formed you, Israel:
“Do not ^(C)fear, for I have ^(D)redeemed you;
I have ^(E)called you by name; you are ^(F)Mine!
² When you ^(G)pass through the waters, ^(H)I will be with you;
And through the rivers, they will not overflow you.
When you ^(I)walk through the fire, you will not be scorched,
Nor will the flame burn you.
³ For ^(J)I am the Lord your God,
The Holy One of Israel, your ^(K)Savior;
I have given Egypt as your ransom,
^[a](L)Cush and Seba in exchange for you.
⁴ Since you are ^(M)precious in My sight,
Since you are ^(N)honored and I ^(O)love you,
I will give other people in your place and other nations in exchange for your life.
⁵ Do not fear, for ^(P)I am with you;
I will bring ^(Q)your offspring from the east,
And ^(R)gather you from the west.
⁶ I will say to the ^(S)north, ‘Give them up!’
And to the south, ‘Do not hold them back.’
Bring My ^(T)sons from afar
And My daughters from the ^(U)ends of the earth,
⁷ Everyone who is ^(V)called by My name,
And whom I have ^(W)created for My ^(X)glory,
^(Y)Whom I have formed, even whom I have made.”
