Lead out those who have eyes but are blind,(A)
    who have ears but are deaf.(B)
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.”
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)
11 I, even I, am the Lord,(J)
    and apart from me there is no savior.(K)
12 I 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)

“Bring out the people who are blind, yet still have eyes,
    who are deaf, yet still have ears!
Let all the nations be gathered together,
    and let the peoples be assembled.

“Who is there among them who[a] can declare this,
    or announce[b] the former things?
Let them produce their witnesses to prove them right,
    and let them proclaim[c] so people will say, ‘It’s true.’

10 “You are my witnesses,” declares the Lord,
    “and my servant whom I have chosen,
so that you may know and trust me
    and understand that I am the One.[d]
Before me no God was formed,
    nor will there be one after me.
11 I, yes I, am the Lord,
    and apart from me there is no savior.
12 I’ve revealed and saved and proclaimed,
    when there was no foreign god among you —
        and you are my witnesses,” declares the Lord.
13 “I am God; also[e] from ancient days[f] I am the one.
    And there is no one who can deliver out of my hand;
        when I act, who can reverse it?”
