Isaiah 43:1-2, 13, 16, 19, 25

But now, this is what the LORD, your Creator says, O Jacob, And He who formed you, O Israel, “Do not fear, for I have redeemed you [from captivity]; I have called you by name; you are Mine! “When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; And through the rivers, they will not overwhelm you. When you walk through fire, you will not be scorched, Nor will the flame burn you.

“Even from eternity I am He, And there is no one who can rescue from My hand; I act, and who can revoke or reverse it?”

This is what the LORD says, He who makes a way through the sea And a path through the mighty waters

“Listen carefully, I am about to do a new thing, Now it will spring forth; Will you not be aware of it? I will even put a road in the wilderness, Rivers in the desert.

¶“I, only I, am He who wipes out your transgressions for My own sake, And I will not remember your sins.
