Isaiah 43:8-13
New English Translation
The Lord Declares His Sovereignty
8 Bring out the people who are blind, even though they have eyes,
those who are deaf, even though they have ears!
9 All nations gather together,
the peoples assemble.
Who among them announced this?
Who predicted earlier events for us?[a]
Let them produce their witnesses to testify they were right;
let them listen and affirm, “It is true.”
10 You are my witnesses,” says the Lord,
“my servant whom I have chosen,
so that you may consider[b] and believe in me,
and understand that I am he.
No god was formed before me,
and none will outlive me.[c]
11 I, I am the Lord,
and there is no deliverer besides me.
12 I decreed and delivered and proclaimed,
and there was no other god among you.
You are my witnesses,” says the Lord, “that I am God.
13 From this day forward I am he;
no one can deliver from my power;[d]
I will act, and who can prevent it?”

8 Lead out those who have eyes but are blind,(A)
who have ears but are deaf.(B)
9 All 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.”

“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)
11 I, even I, am the Lord,(J)
and apart from me there is no savior.(K)

I, and not some foreign god(L) among you.
You are my witnesses,(M)” declares the Lord, “that I am God.

No one can deliver out of my hand.
When I act, who can reverse it?”(P)
