Context Reading
1But now Yahweh who created you, Jacob,and he who formed you, Israel, says:“Don’t be afraid, for I have redeemed you.I have called you by your name.You are mine. 2When you pass through the waters, I will be with you,and through the rivers, they will not overflow you.When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned,and flame will not scorch you. 3For I am Yahweh your God,the Holy One of Israel,your Savior.I have given Egypt as your ransom,Ethiopia and Seba in your place. 4Since you have been precious and honored in my sight,and I have loved you,therefore I will give people in your place,and nations instead of your life. 5Don’t be afraid, for I am with you.I will bring your offspring from the east,and gather you from the west.
