8aBring out the blind people who have eyes, And the bdeaf who have ears.
9 Let all the nations be gathered together, 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, “Itis truth.”
10 “Youaare My witnesses,” says the Lord, 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.
11 I, even I, aam the Lord, And besides Me thereis no savior.
12 I have declared and saved, I have proclaimed, And therewas no aforeign god among you; bTherefore you are My witnesses,” Says the Lord, “that I am God.
13aIndeed before the day was, I am He; And thereis no one who can deliver out of My hand; I work, and who will breverse it?”
14 Thus says the Lord, your Redeemer, The Holy One of Israel: “For your sake I will send to Babylon, And bring them all down as fugitives— The Chaldeans, who rejoice in their ships.
15 I am the Lord, your Holy One, The Creator of Israel, your aKing.”
