3For I am the Lord your God, the Holy One of Israel, your saviour; I have given Egypt as a price for you, Ethiopia and Seba for you.
4Because of your value in my eyes, you have been honoured, and loved by me; so I will give men for you, and peoples for your life.
5Have no fear, for I am with you: I will take your seed from the east, and get you together from the west;
6I will say to the north, Give them up; and to the south, Do not keep them back; send back my sons from far, and my daughters from the end of the earth;
7Every one who is named by my name, and whom I have made for my glory, who has been formed and designed by me.
8Send out the blind people who have eyes, and those who have ears, but they are shut.
9Let all the nations come together, and let the peoples be present: who among them is able to make this clear, and give us word of earlier things? let their witnesses come forward, so that they may be seen to be true, and that they may give ear, and say, It is true.
