Isaiah 43:7
5 Do not be afraid, for I am with you; I will bring your offspring from the east and gather you from the west.
6 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—
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.
9 All the nations gather together and the peoples assemble. Who among them can declare this, and proclaim to us the former things? Let them present their witnesses to vindicate them, so that others may hear and say, “It is true.”
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
