Take out the people that is blind though it has eyes,
those who are deaf though they have ears.

All the nations must collect together,
the peoples must gather.
Who among them could tell of this,
could let us hear of the earlier events?
They must give their witnesses so they may prove right,
so people may listen and say, ‘It’s true.’

You’re my witnesses (Yahweh’s declaration), and my servant whom I chose,
In order that you may acknowledge and trust in me,
and understand that I am the one.
Before me no god was formed,
and after me there will be none.
I myself, I am Yahweh,
and apart from me there’s no deliverer.
I’m the one who told of it and delivered;
I let you hear, and there was no stranger among you.
And you’re my witnesses (Yahweh’s declaration);
I am God.
Yes, from this day I’m the one,
and there is no one rescues from my hand;
I act, and who can make it go back?

Thank you, dear Jesus,
for all you have given me,
for all you have taken away from me,
for all you have left me.

Thomas More (c.1478-1535)
