49 Hear this, all peoples;
Give ear, all inhabitants of the world,

41 “Keep ^(A)silence before Me, O coastlands,
And let the people renew their strength!
Let them come near, then let them speak;
Let us ^(B)come near together for judgment.

⁹ Let all the nations be gathered together,
And let the people be assembled.
^(A)Who among them can declare this,
And show us former things?
Let them bring out their witnesses, that they may be justified;
Or let them hear and say, “It is truth.”
