Isaiah 43:1-7 -
God promises to rescue his people.
Is.43.1-7
43
1
But now thus says Yahweh,
he who created you, O Jacob,
he who formed you, O Israel:
"Fear not, for I have redeemed you;
I have called you by name, you are mine.
43
2
When you pass through the waters I will be with you;
and through the rivers, they shall not overwhelm you;
when you walk through fire you shall not be burned,
and the flame shall not consume you.
43
3
For I am Yahweh your God,
the Holy One of Israel, your Saviour.
I give Egypt as your ransom,
Ethiopia and Seba in exchange for you.
43
4
Because you are precious in my eyes,
and honoured, and I love you,
I give men in return for you,
peoples in exchange for your life.
43
5
Fear not, for I am with you;
I will bring your offspring from the east,
and from the west I will gather you;
43
6
I will say to the north, Give up,
and to the south, Do not withhold;
bring my sons from afar
and my daughters from the end of the earth,
43
7
every one who is called by my name,
whom I created for my glory,
whom I formed and made."
