Yesaya 43:4

43:4 Since you are precious and special in my sight, ¹ 

and I love you,

I will hand over people in place of you,

nations in place of your life.

Yesaya 43:9

the peoples assemble.

Who among them announced this?

Who predicted earlier events for us? ² 

Let them produce their witnesses to testify they were right;

let them listen and affirm, ‘It is true.’
