Israel stands as witness

8Bring out a blind people, though they have eyes, and the deaf, though they have ears.

9Let all the nations be gathered together, and let the peoples be assembled. Who among them can declare this and make the former things heard? Let them present their witnesses, that they may be justified; and let them hear and say, “It is true.”

10You are my witnesses, declares Yahweh, and my servant whom I have chosen, so that you may know and believe in me and understand that I am he. Before me no god was formed, and after me there will be none.

11I, I am Yahweh, and besides me there is no savior.

12I myself declared and saved and announced, and there was no foreign god among you; and you are my witnesses, declares Yahweh, and I am God.

13Indeed, from that day on I am he, and there is none who can deliver from my hand; I act, and who can turn it back?
