Isaiah 43

Israel’s Only Savior

1 But now, this is what the LORD says—

He who created you, O Jacob,

and He who formed you, O Israel:

"Do not fear, for I have redeemed you;

I have called you by your name; you are Mine!

2 When you pass through the waters,

I will be with you;

and when you go through the rivers,

they will not overwhelm you.

When you walk through the fire,

you will not be scorched;

the flames will not set you ablaze.

3 For I am the LORD your God,

the Holy One of Israel, your Savior;

I give Egypt for your ransom,

Cush*43:3 That is, the upper Nile region and Seba in your place.
