3 I am the Lord, your God,the Holy One of Israel,the God who saves you.I gave up Egypt, Ethiopia,and the region of Sebain exchange for you.
4 To me, you are very dear,and I love you.That's why I gave up nationsand people to rescue you.
5 Don't be afraid! I am with you.From both east and westI will bring you together.
6 I will say to the northand to the south,“Free my sons and daughters!Let them returnfrom distant lands.
7 They are my people—I created each of themto bring honour to me.”
8 Bring my people together.They have eyes and ears,but they can't see or hear.
9 Tell everyone of every nationto gather around.None of them can honestly say,“We told you so!”If someone heard them say this,then tell us about it now.
