3. For I Yahweh your God, the Holy One of Israel, and your Savior, give Egypt as a ransom for you,Cush and Seba in your place.
4. Because you are precious in My sight and honored, and I love you, I will give people in exchange for youand nations instead of your life.
5. Do not fear, for I am with you;I will bring your descendants from the east, and gather you from the west.
6. I will say to the north: Give them up!and to the south: Do not hold them back!Bring My sons from far away, and My daughters from the ends of the earth —
7. everyone called by My nameand created for My glory.I have formed him; indeed, I have made him.”
8. Bring out a people who are blind, yet have eyes, and are deaf, yet have ears.
9. All the nations are gathered together,and the peoples are assembled. Who among them can declare this, and tell us the former things?Let them present their witnessesto vindicate themselves,so that people may hear and say, “It is true.”
