9以赛亚四十三章五至七节说,『不要害怕,因我与你同在;我必领你的后裔从东方来,又从西方招聚你。我要对北方说,交出来;对南方说,不要拘留;将我的众子从远方带来,将我的女儿从地极领回,就是凡称为我名下的人,是我为自己的荣耀所创造、所作成、所造作的。』『从东方』意思是从河,『从西方』意思是从海。从东、西、南、北,神要把四散的以色列人领来。
9Isaiah 43:5-7 says, “Do not fear, because I am with you; / I will bring your seed from the east,/And gather you from the west./I will say to the north, Give them up,/And to the south, Do not keep them back. / Bring My sons from a far, / And My daughters from the end of the earth, / Everyone who is called by My name,/ Whom I have created, formed, and even made for My glory.” “From the east” means from the river, and “from the west” means from the sea. From the east, west, north, and south, God will bring the scattered Israelites.
