⁴ Who has done this and carried it through,
    calling^(A) forth the generations from the beginning?^(B)
I, the Lord—with the first of them
    and with the last^(C)—I am he.^(D)”

⁵ The islands^(E) have seen it and fear;
    the ends of the earth^(F) tremble.
They approach and come forward;
⁶     they help each other
    and say to their companions, “Be strong!^(G)”
