I do this so people will recognize from east to west that there is no God but me; I am the Lord, I have no peer.

Don't be afraid, for I am with you. From the east I will bring your descendants; from the west I will gather you.

In the west, people respect the Lord's reputation; in the east they recognize his splendor. For he comes like a rushing stream driven on by wind sent from the Lord.

Syria from the east, and the Philistines from the west, they gobbled up Israelite territory. Despite all this, his anger does not subside, and his hand is ready to strike again.

They will swoop down on the Philistine hills to the west; together they will loot the people of the east. They will take over Edom and Moab, and the Ammonites will be their subjects.

Look, they come from far away! Look, some come from the north and west, and others from the land of Sinim!

They lift their voices and shout joyfully; they praise the majesty of the Lord in the west.

who summons an eagle from the east, from a distant land, one who carries out my plan. Yes, I have decreed, yes, I will bring it to pass; I have formulated a plan, yes, I will carry it out.
