4 Since you are precious and honored in my sight, and because I love you, I will give people in exchange for you, nations in exchange for your life.
This verse comes from a chapter where God is reassuring Israel of His love, protection, and faithfulness even in the face of past failure or present fear. God reminds His people that they are His—chosen, loved, and worth fighting for. Even when they feel defeated or forgotten, He promises they are still precious to Him.
If you’ve ever looked in the mirror and felt “not enough,” this verse reminds you that God sees more. To Him, you are worth pursuing, rescuing, and loving unconditionally. You’re not overlooked—you’re honored. Not discarded—you’re treasured. When the world says you’re not beautiful, remember the One who says, “You are precious in My sight.”
