43:3 For I am the Lord your God,
the Holy One of Israel, 1 your deliverer.
I have handed over Egypt as a ransom price,
Ethiopia and Seba 2 in place of you.
43:7 everyone who belongs to me, 3
whom I created for my glory,
whom I formed – yes, whom I made!
43:15 I am the Lord, your Holy One, 4
the one who created Israel, your king.”
43:21 the people whom I formed for myself,
so they might praise me.” 5
