Isaiah 43:8-13
Legacy Standard Bible
Israel Is Yahweh’s Witness
8 Bring out the people who are (A)blind, even though they have eyes,
And the deaf, even though they have ears.
9 All the nations have (B)gathered together
So that the peoples may be assembled.
Who among them can (C)declare this
And make us hear the former things?
Let them present (D)their witnesses (E)that they may be justified,
Or let them hear and say, “It is true.”
10 “You are (F)My witnesses,” declares Yahweh,
“And (G)My servant whom I have chosen,
So that you may know and believe Me
And understand that (H)I am He.
(I)Before Me there was no god formed,
And there will be none after Me.
11 I, even I, am Yahweh,
And there is no (J)savior (K)besides Me.
12 It is I who have declared and saved and caused it to be heard,
And there was no (L)strange god among you;
So you are My witnesses,” declares Yahweh,
“And I am God.
13 Even [a](M)from eternity (N)I am He,
And there is (O)none who can deliver out of My hand;
(P)I act and who can reverse it?”

Lexham English Bible
8 Bring out the people blind yet[a] with eyes,
and deaf, though[b] they have ears.
9 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]
