But now thus says the LORD, he who created you, O Jacob, he who formed you, O Israel

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. | 43:1–2, English Standard Version | • He says about Cyrus, ‘He is my shepherd. He will do everything I want him to do.’ He says about Jerusalem, ‘It will be rebuilt.' He says about the Temple, ‘Your foundation will be laid.’ | • 44: 28, God's Word Translation
