Isaiah 43:3-5
1599 Geneva Bible
3 For I am the Lord thy God, the holy one of Israel, thy Savior: I gave [a]Egypt for thy ransom, Ethiopia, and Seba for thee.
4 Because thou wast precious in my sight, and thou wast honorable, and I loved thee, therefore will I give [b]man for thee, and people for thy sake.
5 Fear not, for I am with thee: I will bring thy seed from the [c]East, and gather thee from the West.
