Isaiah 43
Bible in Basic English (BBE)

2 Ref When you go through the waters, I will be with you; and through the rivers, they will not go over you: when you go through the fire, you will not be burned; and the flame will have no power over you.
3 Ref For I am the Lord your God, the Holy One of Israel, your saviour; I have given Egypt as a price for you, Ethiopia and Seba for you.
4 Ref Because of your value in my eyes, you have been honoured, and loved by me; so I will give men for you, and peoples for your life.
