Isaías 43

1 But now the LORD who created you, Jacob,

and he who formed you, Israel, says:

"Don’t 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 burnt,

and flame will not scorch you.

3 For I am the LORD your God,

the Holy One of Israel,

your Saviour.

I have given Egypt as your ransom,

Ethiopia and Seba in your place.
