“Listen to me, my people.
    Pay attention, my nation.
My instruction will go out to the nations.
    I make everything right.
    That will be a guiding light for them.
The time for me to set you free is near.
    I will soon save you.
    My powerful arm will make everything right among the nations.
The islands will put their hope in me.
    They will wait for my powerful arm to act.
Look up toward the heavens.
    Then look at the earth.
The heavens will vanish like smoke.
    The earth will wear out like clothes.
    Those who live there will die like flies.
But I will save you forever.
    My saving power will never end.
