When you pass through 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,
    nor shall the flame kindle on you.
For I am the Lord your God,
    the Holy One of Israel, your Savior;
I gave Egypt for your ransom,
    Ethiopia and Seba in your place.
Since you were precious in My sight, you have been honorable,
    and I have loved you;
therefore, I will give men for you,
    and people for your life.

I give Egypt(H) for your ransom,

Since you are precious and honored(L) in my sight,

I will give people in exchange for you,
    nations in exchange for your life.
