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 honorable,and I have loved you;therefore, I will give men for you,and people for your life.
5. Do not fear, 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. even everyone who is called by My name,for I have created him for My glory;I have formed him, and I have made him.”
8. Bring forth 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 their witnesses, that they may be justified;or let them hear and say, “It is true.”
10. You are My witnesses, says the Lord,and My servant whom I have chosenthat 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 have saved, and I have shown,when there was no strange god among you;therefore, you are My witnesses, says the Lord, that I am God.
13. Indeed, from eternity I am He;there is no one who can deliver out of My hand;I act, and who can reverse it?
14. Thus says the Lord,your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel:For your sake I have sent to Babylon,and have brought down all their nobles, and the Chaldeans,into the ships in which they rejoice.
15. I am the Lord, your Holy One,the Creator of Israel, your King.
