Isaiah

Isaiah 43:8–9

⁸Bring out a people who have eyes but are blind,

and who have ears but are deaf.

⁹All the nations gather together

and the peoples assemble.

Who among them can declare this,

and proclaim to us the former things?

Let them present their witnesses to vindicate them,

so that others may hear and say, “It is true.”
