Isaiah 43:3-5

New International Reader's Version

³ I am the Lord your God.
    I am the Holy One of Israel.
    I am the one who saves you.
I will give up Egypt to set you free.
    I will give up Cush and Seba for you.
⁴ You are priceless to me.
    I love you and honor you.
So I will trade other people for you.
    I will give up other nations to save your lives.
⁵ Do not be afraid. I am with you.
    I will bring your people back from the east.
    I will gather you from the west.
