Keep silence
before

and let
the people
renew

strength:
let

come near;
then let
them
speak :
let
us
come
near
together to judgment.
Keep silent
towards
Me, O isles,
And the peoples
pass
on

near
. '
Who raised
up the
righteous
man
from the east ,
called
him to his foot, gave
the
nations
before him, and made
him rule over
kings?
he gave
them as the
dust to his sword, and
as driven stubble to his bow.
Who stirred
up from the east a
righteous
one?
He
calleth
him to His foot, He
giveth
before him nations
, And kings
He
causeth
him to
rule ,
He giveth
`
them '
as dust `
to '
his sword, As driven stubble `
to '
his bow.
He pursued
them, and
passed
safely;
even
by
the
way
that
he had
not
gone
with his feet.
He pursueth
them, he passeth
over
in
safety
A
path
with his feet he
entereth
not

the
carpenter
encouraged
the goldsmith
, and
he
that
smootheth
with the
hammer him that
smote
the
anvil, saying, It is ready
for
the
sodering:
and he fastened
it with nails, that
it should
not be
moved .
And
strengthen
doth
an
artizan
the refiner
, A

with '
a

`on'

strengthened
thee ,

Behold
, all they
that
were
incensed
against
thee shall
be
ashamed and confounded:
they shall
be
as nothing ;
and
they
that
strive with thee shall
perish
.
Lo

help
thee, saith

, I have
set
thee for

carry
them away
, and the
whirlwind shall
scatter
them :
and thou shalt
rejoice
in the
LORD
, and
shalt
glory
in the Holy One of Israel.

wind lifteth
them up
, And a
whirlwind scattereth
them ,
