For I Yahweh your God,(A)
the Holy One of Israel, and your Savior,(B)
give Egypt as a ransom for you,
Cush and Seba in your place.
Because you are precious in My sight(C)
and honored, and I love you,(D)
I will give people in exchange for you
and nations instead of your life.
Do not fear, for I am with you;
I will bring your descendants from the east,(E)
and gather you from the west.(F)
