Isaiah 43:1-3 What a wonderful Word to comfort us in our times of trouble
43 But now thus saith the LORD that created thee, O Jacob, and He that formed thee, O Israel, Fear not: for I have redeemed thee, I have called thee by thy name; thou art Mine.
2 When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when thou walkest 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 Saviour: I gave Egypt for thy ransom, Ethiopia and Seba for thee.

Isaiah 43:1-4 Don't be afraid, I've redeemed you. Powerful!
43 But now, God's Message,
the God Who made you in the first place, Jacob,
the One Who got you started, Israel:
"Don't be afraid, I've redeemed you.
I've called your name. You're mine.
2 When you're in over your head, I'll be there with you.
When you're in rough waters, you will not go down.
When you're between a rock and a hard place,
it won't be a dead end —
3 Because I am God, your personal God,
The Holy of Israel, your Savior.
I paid a huge price for you:
all of Egypt, with rich Cush and Seba thrown in!
4 That's how much you mean to Me!
That's how much I love you!
I'd sell off the whole world to get you back,
trade the creation just for you.
