Isaiah 43:5-11

⁵Do not be afraid, because I am with you. Some day I will gather your descendants from the east and from the west.

⁶I will command the rulers of the nations to the north and to the south, ‘Allow all the people of Israel to return to their country, from the most distant places on the earth.

⁷Allow all those who belong to me MTY to return, because I have caused them to become a nation in order that they would honor me; I am the one who has done that DOU.’

⁸Summon the people who have eyes but it is as though they are blind; summon those who have ears but because they do not listen to me, it is as though they are deaf.

⁹Gather people of all nations together, ones from all people-groups, and ask them this: ‘Has any of their idols foretold the things that are happening now? And can any of them predict what will happen in the future?’ Then bring people who will testify and say ‘I heard them predict things, and what they predicted was what happened,’ but they will be lying.”

¹⁰But Yahweh says, “You people of Israel ◄are my witnesses/know what I have done►, and you are the ones who serve me. I chose you in order that you would know me, believe in me, and understand that I am the only one who is truly God. There is no other true God. There was no other true God previously, and there will never be another true God.

¹¹I, only I, am Yahweh, and there is no other one who can save you.
