3
For I am the Lord your God, The Holy One of Israel, your Savior; I gave Egypt for your ransom, Ethiopia and Seba in your place.
4
Since you were precious in My sight, You have been honored, And I have loved you; Therefore I will give men for you, And people for your life.
5
Fear not, for I am with you; I will bring your descendants from the east, And gather you from the west;
6
I will say to the north, 'Give them up!' And to the south, 'Do not keep them back!' Bring My sons from afar, And My daughters from the ends of the earth--
7
Everyone who is called by My name, Whom I have created for My glory; I have formed him, yes, I have made him."
8
Bring out the blind people who have eyes, And the deaf who have ears.
9
Let all the nations be gathered together, And let the people be assembled. Who among them can declare this, And show us former things? Let them bring out their witnesses, that they may be justified; Or let them hear and say, "It is truth."
10
"You are My witnesses," says the Lord, "And My servant whom I have chosen, That you may know and believe Me, And understand that I am He. Before Me there was no God formed, Nor shall there be after Me.
11
I, even I, am the Lord, And besides Me there is no savior.
12
I have declared and saved, I have proclaimed, And there was no foreign god among you; Therefore you are My witnesses," Says the Lord, "that I am God.
13
Indeed before the day was, I am He; And there is no one who can deliver out of My hand; I work, and who will reverse it?"
