“But now, O Jacob, listen to the LORD Who created you. O Israel, the One Who formed you says, ‘Do not be afraid, for I have ransomed you. I have called you by name; you are Mine. When you go through deep waters, I will be with you. When you go through rivers of difficulty, you will not drown. When you walk through the fire of oppression, you will not be burned up; the flames will not consume you. For I am the LORD, your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior…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…Bring all who claim Me as their God, for I have made them for My glory. It was I Who created them.’”

Isaiah 43:1-3a, 4-5a, 7 NLT
