Isaiah 41:9-10
I have called you back from the ends of the earth,
saying, āYou are my servant.ā
For I have chosen you
and will not throw you away.
Donāt be afraid, for I am with you.
Donāt be discouraged, for I am your God.
I will strengthen you and help you.
I will hold you up with my victorious right hand.
Isaiah 43: 1 - 4
But now, O Jacob, listen to the LORD who created you.
O Israel, the one who formed you says,
āDo 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.
I gave Egypt as a ransom for your freedom;
I gave Ethiopia[fn] and Seba in your place.
Others were given in exchange for you.
I traded their lives for yours
because you are precious to me.
You are honored, and I love you.
