Context of Isaiah 43:6

4Because you are precious in my sight and honored, and I love you, I will give people in exchange for you and nations instead of your life. 5Do not fear, for I am with you; I will bring your descendants 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 far away, and my daughters from the ends of the earth — 7everyone who bears my name and is created for my glory. I have formed them; indeed, I have made them.” 8Bring out a people who are blind, yet have eyes, and are deaf, yet have ears.
