- 5Have no fear, for I am with you: I will take your seed from the east, and get you together from the west;
- 6I will say to the north, Give them up; and to the south, Do not keep them back; send back my sons from far, and my daughters from the end of the earth;
- 7Every one who is named by my name, and whom I have made for my glory, who has been formed and designed by me.
- 8Send out the blind people who have eyes, and those who have ears, but they are shut.
- 9Let all the nations come together, and let the peoples be present: who among them is able to make this clear, and give us word of earlier things? let their witnesses come forward, so that they may be seen to be true, and that they may give ear, and say,(possibly incomplete in the source)

- 21Even the people whom I made to be the witnesses of my praise.
- 22But you have made no prayer to me, O Jacob: and you have given no thought to me, O Israel.
- 23You have not made me burned offerings of sheep, or given me honour with your offerings of beasts; I did not make you servants to give me an offering, and I did not make you tired with requests for perfumes.
- 24You have not got me sweet-smelling plants with your money, or given me pleasure with the fat of your offerings: but you have made me a servant to your sins, and you have made me tired with your evil doings.
- 25I, even I, am he who takes away your sins; and I will no longer keep your evil doings in mind.
- 26Put me in mind of this; let us take up the cause between us: put forward your cause, so that you may be seen to be in the right.
- 27Your first father was a sinner, and your guides have gone against my word.
- 28Your chiefs have made my holy place unclean, so I have made Jacob a curse, and Israel a thing of shame.
