3For I am Yahweh your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior; I have given Egypt as your ransom, Ethiopia and Seba in your place.
4Since you have been precious in my sight, [and] honorable, and I have loved you; therefore will I give men in your place, and peoples instead of your life.
5Don`t be afraid; for I am with you: I will bring your seed from the east, and gather you from the west;
6I will tell the north, Give up; and to the south, Don`t keep back; bring my sons from far, and my daughters from the end of the earth;
7everyone who is called by my name, and whom I have created for my glory, whom I have formed, yes, whom I have made.
8Bring forth the blind people who have eyes, and the deaf who have ears.
9Let all the nations be gathered together, and let the peoples 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 truth.
