5. My righteousness draws near speedily,my salvation is on the way,and my arm will bring justice to the nations.The islands will look to meand wait in hope for my arm.
6. Lift up your eyes to the heavens,look at the earth beneath;the heavens will vanish like smoke,the earth will wear out like a garmentand its inhabitants die like flies.But my salvation will last for ever,my righteousness will never fail.
7. ‘Hear me, you who know what is right,you people who have taken my instruction to heart:do not fear the reproach of mere mortalsor be terrified by their insults.
