who say, Let Him hurry and hasten His work, so that we may see it; and let the purpose of the Holy One of Israel draw near and come, so that we may know!

And hyenas shall cry along with his widows, and jackals in palaces of delight. Yea, her time is coming near, and her days shall not be prolonged.

As a woman with child draws near to bear, she is in pain and cries out in her pangs; so have we been in Your sight, O Jehovah.

And Jehovah said, Because this people draw near Me with their mouth, and with their lips honor Me, but have removed their heart far from Me, and their fear toward Me is taught by the command of men;

You who are far off, hear what I have done; and you near ones, know My might.

Come near, nations, to hear; and, you people, listen; let the earth hear, and its fullness; the world, and its offspring.

Keep silence before Me, O coasts; and peoples shall renew strength; let them come near; then let them speak; let us come near together for judgment.

The coastlands saw and feared; the ends of the earth were afraid, and drew near, and came.

Bring near your cause, says Jehovah; bring out your strong reasons, says the King of Jacob.

Reveal the near things after this, so that we may know that you are gods. Yes, do good, or do evil, so that we may be amazed and see together.

Gather yourselves and come; draw near together, escaped ones of the nations; those who set up the wood of their graven image, and those that pray to a god that cannot save. They know nothing.

Declare and bring near; yea, let them take counsel together. Who has declared this of old? Who has told it from then? Is it not I, Jehovah? And there is no other God besides Me; a just God and a Savior; there is none besides Me.

I bring near My righteousness. It shall not be far off, and My salvation shall not wait; and I will place salvation in Zion, My glory for Israel.

Come near to Me, hear this; I have not spoken in secret from the beginning. From its being, I was there; and now the Lord Jehovah, and His Spirit, has sent Me.

The sons of your bereavement shall yet say in your ears, The place is too narrow for me; come near to me so that I may dwell.

He is near who justifies Me; who will contend with Me? Let us stand together; who is master of My judgment? Let him come near Me.

My righteousness is near; My salvation has gone out, and My arms shall judge peoples; the coastlands shall wait on Me, and on My arm they shall trust.

In righteousness you shall be established; you shall be far from oppression; for you shall not fear; and from terror, for it shall not come near you.

Seek Jehovah while He may be found; call on Him while He is near.

So says Jehovah, Keep judgment and do justice; for My salvation is near to come, and My righteousness to be revealed.

But draw near here, sons of the sorceress, seed of the adulterer and the harlot.

I create the fruit of the lips; peace, peace, to him far off, and to him near, says Jehovah; and I will heal him.

Yet they seek Me daily, and delight to know My ways, as a nation that did righteousness, and one who did not forget the ordinance of their God. They ask of Me the ordinances of justice; they take delight in drawing near to God.

who say, Keep to yourself, do not come near me; for I am holier than you. These are a smoke in My nose, a fire that burns all the day.
