Scripture ISAIAH 43:1-3 NKJV

The Redeemer of Israel

But now, thus says the Lord, who created you, O Jacob,

He who formed you, O Israel:

“Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by your name;

You are Mine.

When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; And through the rivers, they shall not overflow you. When you walk through the fire, you shall not be burned,

Nor shall the flame scorch you.

For I am the LORD your God, The Holy One of Israel, your Savior; I gave Egypt for your ransom,

Ethiopia and Seba in your place.”

He made the storm be still,

and the waves of the sea were hushed.

Then they were glad that the waters were quiet,

and He brought them to their desired haven.
