Others were given in exchange for you.

I traded their lives for yours

because you are precious to me.

You are honored, and I love you.

“Do not be afraid, for I am with you.

I will gather you and your children from east and west.

Because you are precious in my eyes,

and I give people in place of you,

and nations in place of your life.

You must not fear,

for I am with you.

I will bring your offspring from the east,

and I will gather you from the west.

Since thou wast precious in my sight,

Thou hast been honourable, and I have loved thee:

Therefore will I give men for thee,

And people for thy life.

Fear not: for I am with thee:

I will bring thy seed from the east,

And gather thee from the west;
