Isaiah 43:8-13

International Children’s Bible

⁸ Bring out the people who have eyes but don’t see.
    Bring out those who have ears but don’t hear.
⁹ All the nations should gather together.
    All the people should come together.
Which of their gods said that this would happen?
    Which of their gods can tell what happened in the beginning?
They should bring their witnesses to prove they were right.
    Then others will say, “It is true.”
¹⁰ The Lord says, “You are my witnesses.
    You are the servant I chose.
I chose you so you would know and believe me.
    I chose you so you would understand that I am the true God.
There was no God before me,
    and there will be no God after me.
¹¹ I myself am the Lord.
    I am the only Savior.
¹² I myself have spoken to you, saved you and told you these things.
    It was not some foreign god among you.
You are my witnesses, and I am God,”
    says the Lord.
¹³     “I have always been God.
No one can save people from my power.
    When I do something, no one can change it.”
