You must not fear, for I am with you; you must not be afraid, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, indeed I will help you, indeed I will take hold of you with the right hand of my salvation.

For I, Yahweh your God, am grasping your right hand; it is I who say to you, "You must not fear; I myself, I will help you.

"I am Yahweh; I have called you in righteousness, and I have grasped your hand and watched over you; and I have given you as a covenant of the people, as a light of the nations,

I am Yahweh; that is my name, and I do not give my glory to another, nor my praise to the idols.

For I am Yahweh, your God, the holy one of Israel, your savior. I give you Egypt as ransom, Cush and Seba in place of you.

"You are my witnesses," declares Yahweh, "and my servant whom I have chosen so that you may know and believe in me and understand that I am he. No god was formed before me, and none shall be after me.

And I will give you the treasures of darkness and treasures of secret places so that you may know that I am Yahweh, the one who calls you by your name, the God of Israel,

so that they may know from the rising of the sun and from the west that there is none besides me; I am Yahweh and there is none besides me.
