Isaiah 43:1-2

    [1] 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. 

    [2] When you pass through the waters, I will be with you;

        and through the rivers, they shall not overwhelm you;

    when you walk through fire you shall not be burned,

        and the flame shall not consume you.
