Isaiah 43:3-5

EasyEnglish Bible

³ I am the Lord, your God,
    so I will rescue you.
I am Israel's Holy God, your Saviour.
I gave Egypt as the price to buy you back.
    I gave Ethiopia and Seba to their enemies,
    so that you could be free.
⁴ You are very valuable to me.
    You are my special people, and I love you.
So I will give other people to their enemies,
    to keep your lives safe.
Other nations will pay the price,
    instead of you.
⁵ I am with you,
    so do not be afraid.
I will bring your descendants from the east.
    I will also bring you together from the west.
