3For I -- Jehovah thy God, The Holy One of Israel, thy Saviour, I have appointed Egypt thine atonement, Cush and Seba in thy stead.
4Since thou wast precious in Mine eyes, Thou wast honoured, and I have loved thee, And I appoint men in thy stead, And peoples instead of thy life.
5Be not afraid, for I [am] with thee, From the east I bring in thy seed, And from the west I gather thee.
6I am saying to the north, `Give up,` And to the south, `Restrain not.` Bring in My sons from afar, And My daughters from the end of the earth.
7Every one who is called by My name, Even for My honour I have created him, I have formed him, yea, I have made him.
8He brought out a blind people who have eyes, And deaf ones who have ears.
9All the nations have been gathered together, And the peoples are assembled, Who among them declareth this, And former things causeth us to hear? They give their witnesses, And they are declared righteous, And they hear and say, `Truth.`
