1'Coastlands, listen to Me in silence, And let the peoples gain new strength; Let them come forward, then let them speak; Let us come together for judgment.
1眾海島啊，當在我面前靜默；眾民當從新得力，都要近前來才可以說話，我們可以彼此辯論。
2'Who has aroused one from the east Whom He calls in righteousness to His feet? He delivers up nations before him And subdues kings. He makes them like dust with his sword, As the wind-driven chaff with his bow.

3'He pursues them, passing on in safety, By a way he had not been traversing with his feet.
3他追趕他們，走他所未走的道，坦然前行。
4'Who has performed and accomplished [it], Calling forth the generations from the beginning? 'I, the LORD, am the first, and with the last. I am He.''

20好叫人看見、知道、思想、明白；這是耶和華的手所做的，是以色列的聖者所造的。
21'Present your case,' the LORD says. 'Bring forward your strong [arguments],' The King of Jacob says.

22Let them bring forth and declare to us what is going to take place; As for the former [events], declare what they [were], That we may consider them and know their outcome. Or announce to us what is coming;
22可以聲明，指示我們將來必遇的事，說明先前的是甚麼事，好叫我們思索，得知事的結局，或者把將來的事指示我們。
23Declare the things that are going to come afterward, That we may know that you are gods; Indeed, do good or evil, that we may anxiously look about us and fear together.
23要說明後來的事，好叫我們知道你們是神。你們或降福，或降禍，使我們驚奇，一同觀看。
