Context of Isaiah 43:7
5Do not be afraid, because I am with you. I will bring your descendants from the east and gather you from the west. 6I will say to the north, “Give them up,” and to the south, “Do not keep them.” Bring my sons from far away and my daughters from the ends of the earth. Bring everyone who is called by my name, whom I created for my glory, whom I formed and made. 8Bring the people who are blind but still have eyes, the people who are deaf but still have ears. 9All nations have gathered together, and people have assembled. Who among them could have revealed this? Who among them could have foretold this to us? They should bring their witnesses to prove that they were right. Let the people hear them. Then they will say that it is true.
