for I have created him for my glory, I have formed him; yea, I have made him. And God will be glorified in his people; the object of their creation is the glory of their God, and that end shall, somehow or other, be answered in the Lord’s good time.

Even every one that is called by my name: for I have created him for my glory, I have formed him; yea, I have made him. Three expressions are here used concerning the man who is called by God’s name.

Bring forth the blind people that have eyes, and the deaf that have ears. Some think that the Lord refers here to those who were once blind, but to whom he has given eyes; and to those who were deaf, to whom he has given ears. Many of us are of that order.

Let all the nations be gathered together, and let the people be assembled:- As though there was to be a great debate as to who God is, and what God is, he first summons all his people whose blind eyes and deaf ears he has opened, and then he calls for all the nations to be gathered together, and gives them this challenge: — Isa_43:9.

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Let all the nations be gathered together, and let the people be assembled: who among them can declare this, and shew us former things? let them bring forth their witnesses, that they may be justified: or let them hear, and say, It is truth.

That ye may know and believe me, and understand that I am he: before me there was no God formed, neither shall there be after me. I, even I, am the LORD; and beside me there is no saviour.
