Isaiah 43:8-15

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

⁸ Bring forth the people who are blind yet have eyes,
    who are deaf yet have ears!^(A)
9 Let all the nations gather together,
    and let the peoples assemble.
Who among them declared this
    and foretold to us the former things?
Let them bring their witnesses to justify them,
    and let them hear and say, “It is true.”^(B)
10 You are my witnesses, says the Lord,
    and my servant whom I have chosen,
so that you may know and believe me
    and understand that I am he.
Before me no god was formed,
    nor shall there be any after me.^(C)
11 I, I am the Lord,
    and besides me there is no savior.^(D)
12 I am the one who declared and saved and proclaimed,
    not some strange god among you;
    you are my witnesses, says the Lord, and I am God.^(E)
13 Indeed, since that day I am he;
    there is no one who can deliver from my hand;
    I work, and who can hinder it?^(F)

¹⁴ Thus says the Lord,
    your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel:
For your sake I will send to Babylon
    and break down all the bars,
    and the shouting of the Chaldeans will be turned to lamentation.^[a](G)
15 I am the Lord, your Holy One,
    the Creator of Israel, your King.
