Isaiah 43:2-4
Expanded Bible
2 When you pass through the waters, I will be with you [C as at the Red/or Reed Sea; Ex. 13–14].
When you cross rivers, ·you will not drown [L they will not overflow you; C as when Israel crossed the Jordan River into the Promised Land; Josh. 3–4].
When you walk through fire, you will not be burned [Dan. 3:25–27],
nor will the flames hurt you.
3 This is because I, the Lord, am your God,
the Holy One of Israel [1:4], your Savior.
I gave Egypt ·to pay for you [for your ransom],
and I gave ·Cush [Ethiopia] and Seba ·to make you mine [in place of you].
4 Because you are precious ·to me [L in my eyes],
because I give you honor and love you,
I will give other people in your place;
I will give other nations ·to save [in exchange for] your life.
Isaiah 43:2-4

you will not be burned;
the flames will not set you ablaze.(D)

the Holy One(F) of Israel, your Savior;(G)
I give Egypt(H) for your ransom,
Cush[a](I) and Seba(J) in your stead.(K)
4 Since you are precious and honored(L) in my sight,
and because I love(M) you,
I will give people in exchange for you,
nations in exchange for your life.
