Isaías 43

Israel Redeemed

1 But now, this is what the Lord, your Creator says, O Jacob,

And He who formed you, O Israel,

"Do not fear, for I have redeemed you [from captivity];

I have called you by name; you are Mine!

2 "When you pass through the waters, I will be with you;

And through the rivers, they will not overwhelm you.

When you walk through fire, you will not be scorched,

Nor will the flame burn you.

3 "For I am the Lord your God,

The Holy One of Israel, your Savior;

I have given Egypt [to the Babylonians] as your ransom,

Cush (ancient Ethiopia) and Seba [its province] in exchange for you.
