Isaiah 43:3-5

New Century Version

³ This is because I, the Lord, am your God,
    the Holy One of Israel, your Savior.
I gave Egypt to pay for you,
    and I gave Cush and Seba to make you mine.
⁴ Because you are precious to me,
    because I give you honor and love you,
I will give other people in your place;
    I will give other nations to save your life.
⁵ Don’t be afraid, because I am with you.
    I will bring your children from the east
    and gather you from the west.
