1But now thus says Yahweh who created you, Jacob, and he who formed you, Israel: Don`t be afraid, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by your name, you are mine.
2When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow you: when you walk through the fire, you shall not be burned, neither shall the flame kindle on you.
3For I am Yahweh your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior; I have given Egypt as your ransom, Ethiopia and Seba in your place.
4Since you have been precious in my sight, [and] honorable, and I have loved you; therefore will I give men in your place, and peoples instead of your life.
5Don`t be afraid; for I am with you: I will bring your seed from the east, and gather you from the west;
6I will tell the north, Give up; and to the south, Don`t keep back; bring my sons from far, and my daughters from the end of the earth;
7everyone who is called by my name, and whom I have created for my glory, whom I have formed, yes, whom I have made.
