Isaiah 43:6

Israel og folkeslagene

⁴ Because you are precious and honored in My sight, and because I love you, I will give men in exchange for you and nations in place of your life.

⁵ Do not be afraid, for I am with you; I will bring your offspring from the east and gather you from the west.

I will say to the north, ‘Give them up!’ and to the south, ‘Do not hold them back!’ Bring My sons from afar, and My daughters from the ends of the earth—

⁷ everyone called by My name and created for My glory, whom I have indeed formed and made.”

⁸ Bring out a people who have eyes but are blind, and who have ears but are deaf.

Dette ble sagt til Israel i en bestemt tid, så det er lurt å lese det sammen med teksten rundt. Les gjerne versene rundt også, for sammenhengen gir ofte mer enn ett vers alene.
