OLD TESTAMENT · VERSE 6

Isaiah 43:6

I will tell the north, ‘Give them up!’

and tell the south, ‘Don’t hold them back!

Bring my sons from far away,

and my daughters from the ends of the earth—

THE SURROUNDING PASSAGE

Isaiah 43:6 in context

Isaiah 43:3–9

For I am the LORD your God,

the Holy One of Israel,

your Savior.

I have given Egypt as your ransom,

Ethiopia and Seba in your place.

Since you have been precious and honored in my sight,

and I have loved you,

therefore I will give people in your place,

and nations instead of your life.

Don’t be afraid, for I am with you.

I will bring your offspring from the east,

and gather you from the west.

Selected verse

I will tell the north, ‘Give them up!’

and tell the south, ‘Don’t hold them back!

Bring my sons from far away,

and my daughters from the ends of the earth—

everyone who is called by my name,

and whom I have created for my glory,

whom I have formed,

yes, whom I have made.’”

Bring out the blind people who have eyes,

and the deaf who have ears.

Let all the nations be gathered together,

and let the peoples be assembled.

Who among them can declare this,

and show us former things?

Let them bring their witnesses, that they may be justified,

or let them hear, and say, “That is true.”
