The Lord will show his love for Israel by gathering her exiles home

43 But now – thus says the Lord,

your creator, O Jacob, your maker, O Israel –

fear not, for I have redeemed you,

and called you by name: you are mine.

2 When you pass through waters, then I will be with you;

no rivers will bear you away in their flood:

when you walk through fire, you will no wise be scorched,

and the flames will not kindle upon you.

3 For I am the Lord your God,

your deliverer, Israel’s Holy One;

Egypt I give as your ransom,

yea, Seba and Cush in your stead,

4 because in my sight you are precious,

both honoured and beloved,

those lands I will give as your ransom,

those peoples in your stead.

5 Therefore fear not, for I am with you.

I will bring your seed from the sunrise,

and gather you out of the sunset;

6 I will say to the north, ‘Give them up;’

and unto the south, ‘Withhold them not.’

Bring in my sons from afar,

and my daughters from the ends of the earth –

7 every one who is called by my name,

whom I fashioned and made for my glory.
