Isaiah 43:4 in context

Isaiah 43:1–7

1

But now the LORD who created you, Jacob,

and he who formed you, Israel, says:

“Don’t be afraid, 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 through the rivers, they will not overflow you.

When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned,

and flame will not scorch you.

3

For I am the LORD your God,

the Holy One of Israel,

your Savior.

I have given Egypt as your ransom,

Ethiopia and Seba in your place.

4
Selected verse

Since you have been precious and honored in my sight,

and I have loved you,

therefore I will give people in your place,

and nations instead of your life.

5

Don’t be afraid, for I am with you.

I will bring your offspring from the east,

and gather you from the west.

6

I will tell the north, ‘Give them up!’

and tell the south, ‘Don’t hold them back!

Bring my sons from far away,

and my daughters from the ends of the earth—

7

everyone who is called by my name,

and whom I have created for my glory,

whom I have formed,

yes, whom I have made.’”
