Bring out the blind people who have eyes,
    and the deaf who have ears.
Let all the nations be gathered together,
    and let the peoples be assembled.
Who among them can declare this,
    and show us former things?
Let them bring their witnesses, that they may be justified,
    or let them hear, and say, “That is true.”

10 “You are my witnesses,” says Yahweh,
    “With my servant whom I have chosen;
    that you may know and believe me,
    and understand that I am he.
Before me there was no God formed,
    neither will there be after me.
11 I myself am Yahweh.
    Besides me, there is no savior.
12 I have declared, I have saved, and I have shown,
    and there was no strange god among you.
Therefore you are my witnesses”,
    says Yahweh, “and I am God.
13 Yes, since the day was, I am he.
    There is no one who can deliver out of my hand.
    I will work, and who can hinder it?”

Bring out a people who are blind, yet have eyes,(A)
and are deaf, yet have ears.
All the nations are gathered together,
and the peoples are assembled.(B)
Who among them can declare this,(C)
and tell us the former things?
Let them present their witnesses
to vindicate themselves,
so that people may hear and say, “It is true.”
10 “You are my witnesses”(D)
this is the Lord’s declaration—
“and my servant whom I have chosen,(E)
so that you may know and believe me
and understand that I am he.(F)
No god was formed before me,
and there will be none after me.(G)
11 I—I am the Lord.
Besides me, there is no Savior.(H)
12 I alone declared, saved, and proclaimed—
and not some foreign god[a] among you.
So you are my witnesses”—
this is the Lord’s declaration—
“and[b] I am God.(I)
13 Also, from today on I am he alone,
and none can rescue from my power.(J)
I act, and who can reverse it?” (K)
