Isaiah 43:1-7

Israel’s Only Savior

1 But now thus says the Lord,
^ahe who created you, O Jacob,
he who formed you, O Israel:
^b“Fear not, for I have redeemed you;
^cI have called you by name, you are mine.
2 ^dWhen you pass through the waters, I will be with you;
and through the rivers, they shall not overwhelm you;
^ewhen you walk through fire ^fyou shall not be burned,
and the flame shall not consume you.
3 For ^gI am the Lord your God,
the Holy One of Israel, your Savior.
^hI give Egypt as your ransom,
Cush and ⁱSeba in exchange for you.
4 Because you are precious in my eyes,
and honored, and I love you,
I give men in return for you,
peoples in exchange for your life.
5 ^jFear not, for I am with you;
^kI will bring your offspring from the east,
and from the west I will gather you.
6 I will say to the north, Give up,
and to the south, Do not withhold;
bring ^lmy sons from afar
and ^mmy daughters from the end of the earth,
7 everyone who is called by my name,
whom I created for my glory,
whom I formed and made.”
