1 Listen unto me, O islands; and let the peoples strengthen themselves; let them come near; then let them speak; let us come near together to judgment.
2 Who raised up righteousness from the east, called him that he might follow him, gave the Gentiles before him, and made him rule over kings? He gave them as the dust to his sword and as driven stubble to his bow.
3 He pursued them and passed in peace by the way that his feet had never entered.
4 Who has wrought and done it? Who calls the generations from the beginning? I the Lord, the first, and I, myself am with those who are last.
