Douay-Rheims Catholic Bible RHE
New International Version NIV
1 Let the islands keep silence before me, and the nations take new strength: let them come near, and then speak, let us come near to judgment together.
1
“Be silent before me, you islands! Let the nations renew their strength! Let them come forward and speak; let us meet together at the place of judgment.
2 Who hath raised up the just one from the east, hath called him to follow him? he shall give the nations in his sight, and he shall rule over kings: he shall give them as the dust to his sword, as stubble driven by the wind, to his bow.
2
“Who has stirred up one from the east, calling him in righteousness to his service ? He hands nations over to him and subdues kings before him. He turns them to dust with his sword, to windblown chaff with his bow.
3 He shall pursue them, he shall pass in peace, no path shall appear after his feet.
3
He pursues them and moves on unscathed, by a path his feet have not traveled before.
4 Who hath wrought and done these things, calling the generations from the beginning? I the Lord, I am the first and the last.
4
Who has done this and carried it through, calling forth the generations from the beginning? I, the LORD—with the first of them and with the last—I am he.”
5 The islands saw it, and feared, the ends of the earth were astonished, they drew near, and came.
5
The islands have seen it and fear; the ends of the earth tremble. They approach and come forward;
6 Every one shall help his neighbour, and shall say to his brother: Be of good courage.
6
they help each other and say to their companions, “Be strong!”
