Isaiah 43:2-4

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

² When you pass through the waters, I will be with you,
    and through the rivers, they shall not overwhelm you;
when you walk through fire you shall not be burned,
    and the flame shall not consume you.^(A)
3 For I am the Lord your God,
    the Holy One of Israel, your Savior.
I give Egypt as your ransom,
    Cush and Seba in exchange for you.^(B)
4 Because you are precious in my sight
    and honored and I love you,
I give people in return for you,
    nations in exchange for your life.^(C)
