The Future Redemption of Israel

43 But now this is what the Lord says,
    the one who created you, Jacob,
        the one who formed you, Israel:
“Do not be afraid, because I’ve redeemed you.
    I’ve called you by name;
        you are mine.
When you pass through the waters, I’ll be with you;
    and through the rivers, they won’t sweep over you.
when you walk through fire you won’t be scorched,
    and the flame won’t set you ablaze.

“I[a] am the Lord your God,
    the Holy One of Israel, your Redeemer.[b]
And[c] I’ve given Egypt as your ransom,[d]
    Cush and the people of Seba[e] in exchange for you.
