1 But now thus saith the LORD that created thee, O Jacob, and he that formed thee, O Israel, Do not fear, for I have redeemed thee, I have named thee; Thou [art] mine.

2 When thou dost pass through the waters, I [will be] with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee; when thou dost walk through the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee.

3 For I [am] the LORD thy God, the Holy One of Israel, thy Keeper; I gave Egypt [for] thy ransom, Ethiopia and Seba for thee.
