Isaiah 43:3

CushEgyptSeba
SalvationGod's holiness

1 Now this is what the LORD says— He who created you, O Jacob, and He who formed you, O Israel: “Do not fear, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by your name; you are Mine!

2 When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you go through the rivers, they will not overwhelm you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be scorched; the flames will not set you ablaze.

For I am the LORD your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior; I give Egypt for your ransom, Cush and Seba in your place.

4 Because you are precious and honored in My sight, and because I love you, I will give men in exchange for you and nations in place of your life.

5 Do not be afraid, for I am with you; I will bring your offspring from the east and gather you from the west.
