5 Do not fear, for I am with you;

I will bring your descendants from the east,k

and gather you from the west.l

6 I will say to the north, ‘Give them up!’

and to the south, ‘Do not hold them back!’

Bring my sons from far away,m

and my daughters from the ends of the earthn—

7 everyone who bears my name

and is created for my glory.

I have formed them; indeed, I have made them.”

8 Bring out a people who are blind, yet have eyes,o

and are deaf, yet have ears.
