*But now thus saith the Lord athat created thee, O Jacob,

bAnd he athat formed thee, O Israel,

fpFear not: cfor I have redeemed thee,

dI have called thee by thy name; thou art mine.

2  eWhen thou passest through the waters, fI will be with thee;

And gthrough the rivers, they shall not overflow thee:

ehWhen thou iwalkest through the fire, hthou shalt not be iburned;

Neither shall the flame kindle upon thee.

3  For I am the Lord thy God,

The Holy One of Israel, jthy Saviour:

kI gave lEgypt mfor thy ransom,

lEthiopia and nSeba for thee.

4  Since othou wast precious in my sight,

Thou hast been honourable, and I have loved thee:

mTherefore will I give men for thee,

And people for thy ||life.

5  pFear not: for I am with thee:

I will bring thy seed qfrom the east,

And qgather thee from the west;

6  I will say to qthe north, Give up;

And to the south, Keep not back:

Bring rmy sons from far,

And rmy daughters from the ends of the earth;

7  Even every one sthat is called by my name:

For asI have created him for my glory,

aI have formed him; yea, uI have made him.
