Isaías 43

God Promises to Rescue His People

1 Israel, the Lord who created you says,

"Do not be afraid—I will save you.

I have called you by name—you are mine.

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

your troubles will not overwhelm you.

When you pass through fire, you will not be burned;

the hard trials that come will not hurt you.

3 For I am the Lord your God,

the holy God of Israel, who saves you.

I will give up Egypt to set you free;

I will give up Ethiopia*43.3: Hebrew Cush: Cush is the ancient name of the extensive territory south of the First Cataract of the Nile River. This region was called Ethiopia in Graeco-Roman times, and included within its borders most of modern Sudan and some of present-day Ethiopia (Abyssinia). and Seba.
