Called by name through danger

1But now, thus says Yahweh, he who created you, Jacob, and he who formed you, Israel: Do not fear, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by name; you are mine.

2When you pass through the waters, I am with you; and through the rivers, they will not sweep over you. When you walk through fire, you will not be scorched, and the flame will not burn you.

3For I am Yahweh your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior; I have given Egypt as your ransom, Cush and Seba in exchange for you.

4Because you are precious in my eyes, honored, and I love you, I give men in exchange for you, and peoples in place of your life.
