The Lord Will Rescue His People
43:1 Now, this is what the Lord says,
the one who created you, O Jacob,
and formed you, O Israel:
“Don’t be afraid, for I will protect1 you.
I call you by name, you are mine.
43:2 When you pass through the waters, I am with you;
when you pass2 through the streams, they will not overwhelm you.
When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned;
the flames will not harm3 you.
43:3 For I am the Lord your God,
the Holy One of Israel,4 your deliverer.
I have handed over Egypt as a ransom price,
Ethiopia and Seba5 in place of you.
43:4 Since you are precious and special in my sight,6
and I love you,
I will hand over people in place of you,
nations in place of your life.
43:5 Don’t be afraid, for I am with you.From the east I will bring your descendants;
from the west I will gather you.43:6 I will say to the north, ‘Hand them over!’
and to the south, ‘Don’t hold any back!’
