2 ^aWhen you pass through the waters, ^bI will be with you;
And through the rivers, they shall not overflow you.
When you ^cwalk through the fire, you shall not be burned,
Nor shall the flame scorch you. ‡

3 For I am the Lord your God,
The Holy One of Israel, your Savior;
^aI gave Egypt for your ransom,
Ethiopia and Seba in your place. ‡

5 ^aFear not, for I am with you;
I will bring your descendants from the east,
And ^bgather you from the west; ‡

6 I will say to the ^anorth, ‘Give them up!’
And to the south, ‘Do not keep them back!’
Bring My sons from afar,
And My daughters from the ends of the earth— ‡
