SPOKEN FOR

1 ​​​​​​​Now, this is what the LORD says, the one who created you, O Jacob, and formed you, O Israel: "Don't be afraid, for I will protect you. I call you by name, you are mine. 2 ​​​​​​​When you pass through the waters, I am with you; when you pass through the streams, they will not overwhelm you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not harm you. 3 ​​​​​​​For I am the LORD your God, the Holy One of Israel, your deliverer. I have handed over Egypt as a ransom price, Ethiopia and Seba in place of you. 4 ​​​​​​​Since you are precious and special in my sight, and I love you, I will hand over people in place of you, nations in place of your life. 5 ​​​​​​​Don't be afraid, for I am with you. From the east I will bring your descendants; from the west I will gather you.
