But now thus says the LORD, he who created you, O Jacob, he who formed you, O Israel:

“Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by name, you are mine.

When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and through the rivers, they shall not overwhelm you; when you walk through the fire you shall not be burned, and the flame shall not consume you.

For I am the LORD your God, the Holy One of Israel, you Savior.

…Because you are precious in my eyes, and honored, and I love you… (Isaiah 43:1-4).
