Bring out (A)the people who are blind, yet have eyes,
    who are deaf, yet have ears!
(B)All the nations gather together,
    and the peoples assemble.
Who among them can declare this,
    and show us the former things?
Let them bring their witnesses to prove them right,
    and let them hear and say, It is true.
10 (C)“You are my witnesses,” declares the Lord,
    “and (D)my servant whom I have chosen,
that you may know and believe me
    and understand that I am he.
(E)Before me no god was formed,
    nor shall there be any after me.
11 (F)I, I am the Lord,
    and besides me there is no savior.
12 I declared and saved and proclaimed,
    when there was no strange god among you;
    and (G)you are my witnesses,” declares the Lord, “and I am God.
13 Also (H)henceforth I am he;
    there is none who can deliver from my hand;
    I work, and who can turn it back?”

Bring out the people blind yet[a] with eyes,
    and deaf, though[b] they have ears.
Let all the nations gather together,
    and let the peoples assemble.
Who among them has declared this,
    and declared[c] the former things to us?
Let them bring[d] their witnesses, that[e] they may be in the right,
    and let them hear and say, “It is true!”
10 “You are my witnesses,” declares[f] Yahweh,
    “and my servant whom I have chosen
so that you may know and believe in[g] me
    and understand that I am he.
No god was formed before me[h],
    and none shall be after me.
11 I myself am Yahweh,
    and there is no savior besides me!
12 I myself declared and saved,
    and I proclaimed.[i] And there was no strange god[j] among you.
And you are my witnesses,” declares[k] Yahweh,
    “and I am God.
13 Indeed, from this day I am the one,
    and no one can deliver from my hand.
        I perform,[l] and who can cancel it?”[m]
