When you pass through the waters, I will be with you,
    and through the rivers, they shall not flow over you.
When you walk through fire, you shall not be burned,
    and the flame shall not scorch[a] you.
For I am Yahweh, your God,
    the holy one of Israel, your savior.
I give you Egypt as ransom,
    Cush and Seba in place of you.
Because you are precious in my eyes,
    you are honored, and I myself love you,
and I give people in place of you,
    and nations in place of your life.

When you pass through the waters,(A)
    I will be with you;(B)
and when you pass through the rivers,
    they will not sweep over you.
When you walk through the fire,(C)
    you will not be burned;
    the flames will not set you ablaze.(D)
For I am the Lord your God,(E)
    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)
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.
