Isaiah 43:8-15

New International Version

⁸Lead out those who have eyes but are blind,^(A)
    who have ears but are deaf.^(B)
⁹All the nations gather together^(C)
    and the peoples assemble.
Which of their gods foretold^(D) this
    and proclaimed to us the former things?
Let them bring in their witnesses to prove they were right,
    so that others may hear and say, “It is true.”
¹⁰“You are my witnesses,^(E)” declares the Lord,
    “and my servant^(F) whom I have chosen,
so that you may know^(G) and believe me
    and understand that I am he.
Before me no god^(H) was formed,
    nor will there be one after me.^(I)
¹¹I, even I, am the Lord,^(J)
    and apart from me there is no savior.^(K)
¹²I have revealed and saved and proclaimed—
    I, and not some foreign god^(L) among you.
You are my witnesses,^(M)” declares the Lord, “that I am God.
¹³    Yes, and from ancient days^(N) I am he.^(O)
No one can deliver out of my hand.
    When I act, who can reverse it?”^(P)

God’s Mercy and Israel’s Unfaithfulness

¹⁴This is what the Lord says—
    your Redeemer,^(Q) the Holy One^(R) of Israel:
“For your sake I will send to Babylon
    and bring down as fugitives^(S) all the Babylonians,^[a]^(T)
    in the ships in which they took pride.
¹⁵I am the Lord,^(U) your Holy One,
    Israel’s Creator,^(V) your King.^(W)”
