1
But now, thus says the LORD, who created you, O Jacob, and formed you, O Israel: Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by name: you are mine.
2
When you pass through the water, I will be with you; in the rivers you shall not drown. When you walk through fire, you shall not be burned; the flames shall not consume you.

1 For I am the LORD, your God, the Holy One of Israel, your savior. I give Egypt as your ransom, Ethiopia and Seba in return for you.
4
Because you are precious in my eyes and glorious, and because I love you, I give men in return for you and peoples in exchange for your life.
Reflection:
We are valuable in the eyes of God, so much so that he wanted to redeem us and not let us get lost in sin, so much so that we belong to him, and so he takes care of us, because we are his, there is no need to fear, he is always with us, having already paid a high price for our soul: Jesus on the cross paid the price of our redemption, to give us a second chance, and even more, as long as we allow ourselves to be transformed by Jesus and repentantly return to the Father.
