2 When you pass through the waters, I will be with you;and through the rivers, they shall not overwhelm you; when you walk through fire you shall not be burned,and the flame shall not consume you.
3 For I am the Lord your God,the Holy One of Israel, your Savior. I give Egypt as your ransom,Cush and Seba in exchange for you.
4 Because you are precious in my eyes,and honored, and I love you,I give men in return for you,peoples in exchange for your life.
5 Fear not, for I am with you; I will bring your offspring from the east,and from the west I will gather you.
6 I will say to the north, Give up,and to the south, Do not withhold;bring my sons from afarand my daughters from the end of the earth,
7 everyone who is called by my name,whom I created for my glory,whom I formed and made.”
8 Bring out the people who are blind, yet have eyes,who are deaf, yet have ears!
