Ibn Ezra, on Isa 43:7

“And every one that calleth upon my name, I have created him for my glory, I have formed him, and made him.”

“קורא ═ נקרא that calleth, as some explain; but this is wrong. It is to be taken literally. Every one that is called by my name, that is, all that belong to the people of the Lord. And for my glory. To be a glory to my name. בראתיו I have formed it, namely, that nation. עשיתיו I have established it.—R. Salomo, the father of metrical poetry in Hebrew, explained this verse to contain the principles of the creation of the universe ; but this explanation is not in accordance with the context.”
