God Challenges the Nations to Trial
1
Keep silence before me, O islands; and let the peoples renew their strength: let them come near; then let them speak; let us come near together to judgment.
2
Who hath raised up one from the east, whom he calleth in righteousness to his foot? he giveth nations before him, and maketh him rule over kings; he giveth them as the dust to his sword, as the driven stubble to his bow.
3
He pursueth them, and passeth on safely, even by a way that he had not gone with his feet.
4
Who hath wrought and done it, calling the generations from the beginning? I, Jehovah, the first, and with the last, I am he.
