4. Since you were precious in my sight, you have been honorable, and I have loved you: therefore will I 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 up; and to the south, Keep not back: bring my sons from afar, and my daughters from the ends of the earth;
7. Even everyone that is called by my name: for I have created him for my glory, I have formed him; yea, I have made him.
8. Bring forth the blind people that have eyes, and the deaf that 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 forth their witnesses, that they may be justified: or let them hear, and say, It is truth.
10. You are my witnesses,
11. I, even I, am the LORD; and besides me there is no savior.
12. I have declared, and have saved, and I proclaimed, when there was no strange god among you: therefore you are my witnesses,
13. Yea, before the day was I am he; and there is none that can deliver out of my hand: I will work, and who shall hinder it?
14. Thus says the LORD, your redeemer, the Holy One of Israel;
15. I am the LORD, your Holy One, the creator of Israel, your King.
16. Thus says the LORD, who makes a way in the sea, and a path in the mighty waters;
17. Who brings forth the chariot and horse, the army and the power; they shall lie down together, they shall not rise: they are extinguished, they are quenched like a wick.
18. Remember not the former things, neither consider the things of old.
19. Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall you not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert.
20. The beast of the field shall honor me, the jackals and the ostriches: because I give waters in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert, to give drink to my people, my chosen.
