Isaiah 43:3-5

Evangelical Heritage Version

³     Because I am the Lord your God,
    the Holy One of Israel, your Savior,
    I gave Egypt as your ransom,
    Cush and Seba in exchange for you.
⁴     Because you are precious and honored in my eyes,
    and I myself love you,
    I will give people in exchange for you,
    and peoples in exchange for your life.
⁵     Do not be afraid, because I am with you.
    From the east I will bring your offspring,
    and from the west I will gather you.
