1Yo, islands, chill for a sec; let the people recharge their vibes: come through and speak up, let’s settle this together.

2Who’s the one that hype up the righteous dude from the east, called him in, made nations bow down, and let him flex on kings? He treated them like dust for his sword, no cap.

3He chased them down and cruised safely; even took paths he hadn’t walked before.

4Who’s behind all this, calling the generations since day one? It’s me, the Lord, the OG, and the last; that’s just facts.

5The islands peeped it and got shook; the ends of the earth were like, “Nah,” and came close.

6They all had each other’s backs; everyone was like, “Stay strong, fam.”

7So the woodworker gassed up the goldsmith, and the hammer dude hyped the anvil guy, saying, “We’re ready to vibe; let’s lock it down.”

8But you, Israel, are my ride or die, Jacob, my chosen one, the real one from Abraham, my homie.

9I scooped you from the ends of the earth, called you out from the top dogs, and said, “You’re my servant; I chose you, no ghosting.”

10Don’t stress; I got your back: don’t be shook, ‘cause I’m your God: I’ll pump you up; for real, I’ll help you; I’ll hold you up with my solid right hand.

11Bet, all the haters coming at you will be shook and confused; they’ll be like, “Who even?” and those who beef with you will just vanish.

12You’ll look for them and find nada, even those who were trippin’ with you: they’ll be like, whatever, no cap.

13For I, the Lord your God, got your back, holding your right hand, saying, “Chill, I got you.”

14Don’t stress, little worm Jacob and the crew of Israel; I’m here to help, says the Lord, your savior, the Holy One of Israel.

15Check it, I’m giving you a new, sharp tool that’s lit; you’ll crush mountains and make them tiny, like dust.

16You’ll blow them away, and the wind will take them off; you’ll vibe in the Lord and flex in the Holy One of Israel.

17When the broke and thirsty are looking for water and can’t find any, I, the Lord, will hear them; the God of Israel won’t ghost them.

18I’ll open up rivers in high spots and fountains in the valleys; I’ll turn the wild into a chill pool and the dry land into springs.

19I’ll plant cedar, shittah trees, myrtle, and oil trees in the wild; I’ll throw down fir, pine, and box trees in the desert.

20So they can see, know, and get it together, that the Lord’s hand made this happen, and the Holy One of Israel created it.

21Drop your reasons, says the Lord; show us your best arguments, says the King of Jacob.

22Let them bring it, and show us what’s about to pop off: let’s see the past vibes so we can get the future tea.

23Show us what’s coming next, so we know you’re the real deal: do good or do bad, just let us see it all together.

24Look, you’re basically nothing, and your work is sus: it's a whole mess if you choose that path.

25I’ve got someone coming from the north, and he’s gonna call on my name: he’ll roll in like a boss, just like a potter molding clay.

26Who’s called it from the start, so we can know? And who’s been right before, so we can say he’s goated? No one’s showing up with the answers.

27The first will hit up Zion, saying, “Look at them!” and I’ll send good vibes to Jerusalem with someone bringing the good news.

28I looked around, and no one was there; not a single advisor could drop a word when I asked.

29Check it, they’re all just empty vibes; their work is nothing: their fake stuff is just confusion and noise.

1Keep 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.

2Who raised up the righteous man from the east, called him to his foot, gave the nations before him, and made him rule over kings? he gave them as the dust to his sword, and as driven stubble to his bow.

3He pursued them, and passed safely; even by the way that he had not gone with his feet.

4Who hath wrought and done it, calling the generations from the beginning? I the Lord, the first, and with the last; I am he.

5The isles saw it, and feared; the ends of the earth were afraid, drew near, and came.

6They helped every one his neighbour; and every one said to his brother, Be of good courage.

7So the carpenter encouraged the goldsmith, and he that smootheth with the hammer him that smote the anvil, saying, It is ready for the sodering: and he fastened it with nails, that it should not be moved.

8But thou, Israel, art my servant, Jacob whom I have chosen, the seed of Abraham my friend.

9Thou whom I have taken from the ends of the earth, and called thee from the chief men thereof, and said unto thee, Thou art my servant; I have chosen thee, and not cast thee away.

10Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.

11Behold, all they that were incensed against thee shall be ashamed and confounded: they shall be as nothing; and they that strive with thee shall perish.

12Thou shalt seek them, and shalt not find them, even them that contended with thee: they that war against thee shall be as nothing, and as a thing of nought.

13For I the Lord thy God will hold thy right hand, saying unto thee, Fear not; I will help thee.

14Fear not, thou worm Jacob, and ye men of Israel; I will help thee, saith the Lord, and thy redeemer, the Holy One of Israel.

15Behold, I will make thee a new sharp threshing instrument having teeth: thou shalt thresh the mountains, and beat them small, and shalt make the hills as chaff.

16Thou shalt fan them, and the wind shall carry them away, and the whirlwind shall scatter them: and thou shalt rejoice in the Lord, and shalt glory in the Holy One of Israel.

17When the poor and needy seek water, and there is none, and their tongue faileth for thirst, I the Lord will hear them, I the God of Israel will not forsake them.

18I will open rivers in high places, and fountains in the midst of the valleys: I will make the wilderness a pool of water, and the dry land springs of water.

19I will plant in the wilderness the cedar, the shittah tree, and the myrtle, and the oil tree; I will set in the desert the fir tree, and the pine, and the box tree together:

20That they may see, and know, and consider, and understand together, that the hand of the Lord hath done this, and the Holy One of Israel hath created it.

21Produce your cause, saith the Lord; bring forth your strong reasons, saith the King of Jacob.

22Let them bring them forth, and shew us what shall happen: let them shew the former things, what they be, that we may consider them, and know the latter end of them; or declare us things for to come.

23Shew the things that are to come hereafter, that we may know that ye are gods: yea, do good, or do evil, that we may be dismayed, and behold it together.

24Behold, ye are of nothing, and your work of nought: an abomination is he that chooseth you.

25I have raised up one from the north, and he shall come: from the rising of the sun shall he call upon my name: and he shall come upon princes as upon morter, and as the potter treadeth clay.

26Who hath declared from the beginning, that we may know? and beforetime, that we may say, He is righteous? yea, there is none that sheweth, yea, there is none that declareth, yea, there is none that heareth your words.

27The first shall say to Zion, Behold, behold them: and I will give to Jerusalem one that bringeth good tidings.

28For I beheld, and there was no man; even among them, and there was no counsellor, that, when I asked of them, could answer a word.

29Behold, they are all vanity; their works are nothing: their molten images are wind and confusion.
