1 But now thus says the Lord who created you, Jacob,and he who formed you, Israel:"Do not be afraid, 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 through the rivers, they will not overflow you.When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned,and flame will not scorch you.
3 For I am the Lord your God,the Holy One of Israel,your Savior.I have given Egypt as your ransom,Ethiopia and Seba in your place.
