1 Now, therefore, Thus, saith YahwehCreating thee, O Jacob, and Fashioning thee O Israel,Do not fear, For I have redeemed thee, I have called thee by thy name. Mine, thou art!2 When thou passest through the waters, with thee, I am, Or, through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee,When thou walkest through fire, thou shall not be scorched, And, a flame, shall not kindle upon thee;3 For, I,Yahweh, am, Thy God, The Holy One of Israel Ready to save thee,I have given, as thy ransom, Egypt, Ethiopia and Seba, in thy stead.
