When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee.

The verse 2 is found in chapter 43 of Isaiah. God calls Jacob by name and recalls that he created and redeemed him. The language of passing through waters and fire communicates protection amid dangerous circumstances. Israel is also presented as Yahweh’s witness, whose identity is demonstrated against the powerlessness of idols.

Denn so du durch Wasser gehst, will ich bei dir sein, daß dich die Ströme nicht sollen ersäufen; und so du ins Feuer gehst, sollst du nicht brennen, und die Flamme soll dich nicht versengen.
Cuando pasares por las aguas, yo seré contigo; y por los ríos, no te anegarán. Cuando pasares por el fuego, no te quemarás, ni la llama arderá en ti.
Si tu traverses les eaux, je serai avec toi; Et les fleuves, ils ne te submergeront point; Si tu marches dans le feu, tu ne te brûleras pas, Et la flamme ne t'embrasera pas.
Quando tu passerai per le acque, io sarò teco; e quando passerai per li fiumi, non ti affogheranno; quando camminerai per lo fuoco non sarai arso, e la fiamma non ti divamperà.
Quando passares pelas águas estarei contigo, e quando pelos rios, eles não te submergirão; quando passares pelo fogo, não te queimarás, nem a chama arderá em ti.
你從水中經過,我必與你同在, 你渡過江河,水必不漫過你; 你在火中行走,也不被燒傷, 火焰必不燒著你身。
