1 Be still, ye Islands, and hearken unto me. Be strong ye people; Come hither, and show your cause: we will go to the law together. 2 Who raiseth up the just from the rising of the Sun, and calleth him to go forth? Who casteth down the people, and subdueth the kings before him: that he may throw them all to the ground with his sword, and scatter them like stubble with his bow?
