Isaiah 43:3-5

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

³ For I am the Lord your God,
    the Holy One of Israel, your Savior.
I give Egypt as your ransom,
    Ethiopia^[a] and Seba in exchange for you.
⁴ Because you are precious in my sight,
    and honored, and I love you,
I give people in return for you,
    nations in exchange for your life.
⁵ Do not fear, for I am with you;
    I will bring your offspring from the east,
    and from the west I will gather you;
