Isaiah 43:2-6

2When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze.

3For I am the LORD your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior; I give Egypt for your ransom, Cush That is, the upper Nile region and Seba in your stead.

4Since you are precious and honored in my sight, and because I love you, I will give people in exchange for you, nations in exchange for your life.

5Do not be afraid, for I am with you; I will bring your children from the east and gather you from the west.

6I will say to the north, ‘Give them up!’ and to the south, ‘Do not hold them back.’ Bring my sons from afar and my daughters from the ends of the earth—
