You have been honored,
And I have aloved you;
Therefore I will give men for you,
And people for your life.
I will bring your descendants from the east,
And bgather you from the west;
And to the south, ‘Do not keep them back!’
Bring My sons from afar,
And My daughters from the ends of the earth—
Whom bI have created for My glory;
I have formed him, yes, I have made him.”
And let the people be assembled.
aWho among them can declare this,
And show us former things?
Let them bring out their witnesses, that they may be justified;
Or let them hear and say, “It is truth.”
b“And My servant whom I have chosen,
That you may know and cbelieve Me,
And understand that I am He.
Before Me there was no God formed,
Nor shall there be after Me.

Isaiah 43:6
I will say to the north, Give up - Give up my people, or restore them to their own land.
Bring my sons ... - Bring all my people from the distant lands where they have been driven in their dispersion. This is a beautiful passage. As if all lands were under the control of God, and he could at once command and they would obey, he calls on them to yield up his people to their own country. He issues a commandment which is heard in all quarters of the globe, and the scattered people of God come flocking again to their own land.
