But now Yahweh who created you, Jacob, and he who formed you, Israel, says: “Don’t be afraid, for I have redeemed you. I have called you by your name. You are mine.
When you pass through the waters, I will be with you, and through the rivers, they will not overflow you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned, and flame will not scorch you.
Since you have been precious and honored in my sight, and I have loved you, therefore I will give people in your place, and nations instead of your life.
43:5
ኢትፍራህ፡ እንከ፡ እስመ፡ አነ፡ ሀለውኩ፡ ምስሌከ።
不要害怕，因我與你同在； 我必領你的後裔從東方來， 又從西方招聚你。
Don’t be afraid, for I am with you. I will bring your offspring from the east, and gather you from the west.

ወእብሎ፡ ለሰሜን፤ አምጽኦሙ።

Let all the nations be gathered together, and let the peoples be assembled. Who among them can declare this, and show us former things? Let them bring their witnesses, that they may be justified, or let them hear, and say, “That is true.”
“You are my witnesses,” says Yahweh, “With my servant whom I have chosen; that you may know and believe me, and understand that I am he. Before me there was no God formed, neither will there be after me.

the people which I formed for myself, that they might declare my praise.

አኮ፡ ይእዜ፡ ዘጸዋዕኩከ፡ ያዕቆብ፡ ወኢያጽሐብኩከ፡ እስራኤል።
雅各啊，你並沒有求告我； 以色列啊，你倒厭煩我。
Yet you have not called on me, Jacob; but you have been weary of me, Israel.
You have not brought me any of your sheep for burnt offerings, neither have you honored me with your sacrifices. I have not burdened you with offerings, nor wearied you with frankincense.
You have bought me no sweet cane with money, nor have you filled me with the fat of your sacrifices, but you have burdened me with your sins. You have wearied me with your iniquities.
