Keep silence before me， O islands； and let the people renew their strength： let them come near； then let them speak： let us come near together to judgment.
41：2 誰從東方興起一人，憑公義召他來到腳前呢。耶和華將列國(guó)交給他，使他管轄君王，把他們?nèi)缁覊m交與他的刀，如風(fēng)吹的碎秸交與他的弓。

41：12 與你爭(zhēng)競(jìng)的，你要找他們也找不著。與你爭(zhēng)戰(zhàn)的，必如無有，成為虛無。
