Isaiah 34:1

¹“Keep silent before me, islands, and let the peoples renew their strength. Let them come near, then let them speak. Let’s meet together for judgment.

²⁶for “the earth is the Lord’s, and its fullness.”

⁹Let all the nations be gathered together, and let the peoples be assembled. Who among them can declare this, and show us former things? Let them bring their witnesses, that they may be justified, or let them hear, and say, “That is true.”

²Hear, heavens, and listen, earth; for the LORD ^[+] has spoken: “I have nourished and brought up children and they have rebelled against me.

¹³Hear, you who are far off, what I have done; and, you who are near, acknowledge my might.”

¹Give ear, you heavens, and I will speak. Let the earth hear the words of my mouth.

¹Listen now to what the LORD says: “Arise, plead your case before the mountains, and let the hills hear what you have to say. ²Hear, you mountains, the LORD’s indictment, and you enduring foundations of the earth; for the LORD has a case against his people, and he will contend with Israel.

²⁹O earth, earth, earth, hear the LORD’s word!

¹Listen, islands, to me. Listen, you peoples, from afar: the LORD has called me from the womb; from the inside of my mother, he has mentioned my name.

¹Hear this, all you peoples. Listen, all you inhabitants of the world, ²both low and high, rich and poor together.
