Listen to me in silence, O coastlands; let the peoples renew their strength; let them approach, then let them speak; let us together draw near for judgment.
Thus says the LORD: "Heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool; what is the house that you would build for me, and what is the place of my rest?
Hear, you peoples, all of you;[1] pay attention, O earth, and all that is in it, and let the Lord GOD be a witness against you, the Lord from his holy temple.
