Isaiah 43:2-4

New Century Version

² When you pass through the waters, I will be with you.
    When you cross rivers, you will not drown.
When you walk through fire, you will not be burned,
    nor will the flames hurt you.
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.
