Isaiah 43:9

43:9 All nations gather together,

the peoples assemble.

Who among them announced this?

Who predicted earlier events for us? ¹ 

Let them produce their witnesses to testify they were right;

let them listen and affirm, ‘It is true.’

godliness ²  stands far off.

Indeed, ³  honesty stumbles in the city square

and morality is not even able to enter.
