Context of Isaiah 43:7
5Don’t be afraid, for I am with you. From the east I will bring your descendants; from the west I will gather you. 6I will say to the north, ‘Hand them over!’ and to the south, ‘Don’t hold any back!’ Bring my sons from distant lands, and my daughters from the remote regions of the earth, everyone who belongs to me, whom I created for my glory, whom I formed – yes, whom I made! 8Bring out the people who are blind, even though they have eyes, those who are deaf, even though they have ears! 9All nations gather together, the peoples assemble. Who among them announced this? Who predicted earlier events for us? Let them produce their witnesses to testify they were right; let them listen and affirm, ‘It is true.’
