Context of Isaiah 43:6
4You are very valuable to me. You are my special people, and I love you. So I will give other people to their enemies, to keep your lives safe. Other nations will pay the price, instead of you. 5I am with you, so do not be afraid. I will bring your descendants from the east. I will also bring you together from the west. I will say to people in the north, “Give them back!” And I will say to people in the south, “Do not stop them!” Bring my sons from places that are far away. Bring my daughters from the ends of the earth. 7Bring back everyone who belongs to me. I created them, so that they would bring honour to me. I made them who they are. Yes, I made them! 8So bring the people to me. They have eyes, but they are blind! They have ears, but they are deaf!
