Isaiah 43:8-13
International Standard Version
8 “Bring out the people who are blind, yet still have eyes,
who are deaf, yet still have ears!
9 Let all the nations be gathered together,
and let the peoples be assembled.
“Who is there among them who[a] can declare this,
or announce[b] the former things?
Let them produce their witnesses to prove them right,
and let them proclaim[c] so people will say, ‘It’s true.’
10 “You are my witnesses,” declares the Lord,
“and my servant whom I have chosen,
so that you may know and trust me
and understand that I am the One.[d]
Before me no God was formed,
nor will there be one after me.
11 I, yes I, am the Lord,
and apart from me there is no savior.
12 I’ve revealed and saved and proclaimed,
when there was no foreign god among you —
and you are my witnesses,” declares the Lord.
13 “I am God; also[e] from ancient days[f] I am the one.
And there is no one who can deliver out of my hand;
when I act, who can reverse it?”
