⁴ “My people, listen to me.
    My nation, pay attention to me.
I will give the people my teachings.
    And my decisions will be like a light to all people.
⁵ I will soon show I do what is right.
    I will soon save you.
    I will use my power and judge all nations.
All the faraway places are waiting for me.
    They wait for my power to help them.
⁶ Look up to the heavens.
    Look around you at the earth below.
The skies will disappear like clouds of smoke.
    The earth will become useless like old clothes.
    Its people will die like flies.
But my salvation will continue forever.
    My goodness will never end.

⁷ “You people who know what is right should listen to me.
    You people who follow my teachings should hear what I say.
Don’t be afraid of the evil things people say.
    Don’t be upset by their insults.
⁸ Moths will eat those people as if they were clothes.
    Worms will eat them as if they were wool.
But my goodness will continue forever.
    My salvation will continue from now on.”
