以賽亞書Isaiah 43:1-2
1 雅各阿、創造你的耶和華、以色列阿、造成你的那位、現在如此說、你不要害怕、因為我救贖了你．我曾提你的名召你、你是屬我的。2 你從水中經過、我必與你同在．你趟過江河、水必不漫過你．你從火中行過、必不被燒、火焰也不着在你身上。
1 But now, thus says the Lord, who created you, O Jacob, And He who formed you, O Israel:
“Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by your name; You are Mine. 2 When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; And through the rivers, they shall not overflow you. When you walk through the fire, you shall not be burned, Nor shall the flame scorch you.
