Isaiah 43:3-5

New Catholic Bible

³ For I am the Lord, your God,
    the Holy One of Israel, your savior.
I give Egypt as your ransom,
    Ethiopia and Seba^[a] in exchange for you.
⁴ Because in my eyes you are precious,
    because you are honored and I love you,
I will give people in exchange for you
    and nations in return for your life.
⁵ Do not be afraid, for I am with you.
    I will bring your offspring from the east,
    and from the west I will gather you.
