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?"
14
Thus says the Lord, your Redeemer, The Holy One of Israel: "For your sake I will send to Babylon, And bring them all down as fugitives-- The Chaldeans, who rejoice in their ships.
15
I am the Lord, your Holy One, The Creator of Israel, your King."
