Isaiah 43:3-5
New Catholic Bible
3 For I am the Lord, your God,
the Holy One of Israel, your savior.
I give Egypt as your ransom,
Ethiopia and Seba[a] in exchange for you.
4 Because in my eyes you are precious,
because you are honored and I love you,
I will give people in exchange for you
and nations in return for your life.
5 Do not be afraid, for I am with you.
I will bring your offspring from the east,
and from the west I will gather you.
