Isaiah 43:8

6 I will say to the ^anorth, ‘Give them up!’
And to the south, ‘Do not keep them back!’
Bring My sons from afar,
And My daughters from the ends of the earth—

7 Everyone who is ^acalled by My name,
Whom ^bI have created for My glory;
I have formed him, yes, I have made him.”

8 ^aBring 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, “It is truth.”

10 “You^a are 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 there is no savior.

The scene Isaiah is describing is a court of law. God is saying, "Okay, you bring your witnesses, and I will bring Mine." What does a witness do? In a court of law, a witness gives testimony of things he has seen or heard.
