3 I am the Lord your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior.Egypt is the ransom I exchanged for you.Sudan and Seba are the price I paid for you.
4 Since you are precious to me, you are honored and I love you.I will exchange others for you.Nations will be the price I pay for your life.
5 Do not be afraid, because I am with you.I will bring your descendants from the eastand gather you from the west.
6 I will say to the north, “Give them up,”and to the south, “Do not keep them.”Bring my sons from far awayand my daughters from the ends of the earth.
7 Bring everyone who is called by my name,whom I created for my glory,whom I formed and made.
8 Bring the people who are blind but still have eyes,the people who are deaf but still have ears.
9 All nations have gathered together, and people have assembled.Who among them could have revealed this?Who among them could have foretold this to us?They should bring their witnesses to prove that they were right.Let the people hear them. Then they will say that it is true.
