…listen to the Lord who created you.

O Israel, the one who formed you says,

“Do not be afraid, 

for I have ransomed you.

I have called you by name; 

you are mine.

When you go through deep waters,

I will be with you.

When you go through rivers of difficulty,

you will not drown.

When you walk through the fire of oppression,

you will not be burned up;

the flames will not consume you.

For I am the Lord, 

your God,

the Holy One of Israel, 

your Savior.”

Isaiah 43:1-3
