3 For I am the Lord your God,the Holy One of Israel, your Savior. I give Egypt as your ransom,Cush and Seba in exchange for you.
4 Because you are precious in my eyes,and honored, and I love you,I give men in return for you,peoples in exchange for your life.
5 Fear not, for I am with you; I will bring your offspring from the east,and from the west I will gather you.
6 I will say to the north, Give up,and to the south, Do not withhold;bring my sons from afarand my daughters from the end of the earth,
7 everyone who is called by my name,whom I created for my glory,whom I formed and made.”
8 Bring out the people who are blind, yet have eyes,who are deaf, yet have ears!
9 All the nations gather together,and the peoples assemble.Who among them can declare this,and show us the former things?Let them bring their witnesses to prove them right,and let them hear and say, It is true.
