4 Indeed I have given him as ^aa witness to the people,
^bA leader and commander for the people. ‡

5 ^aSurely you shall call a nation you do not know,
^bAnd nations who do not know you shall run to you,
Because of the Lord your God,
And the Holy One of Israel;
^cFor He has glorified you.” ‡

7 ^aLet the¹ wicked forsake his way,
And the unrighteous man ^bhis thoughts;
Let him return to the Lord,
^cAnd He will have mercy on him;
And to our God,
For He will abundantly pardon. ‡

8 “For^a My thoughts are not your thoughts,
Nor are your ways My ways,” says the Lord. ‡
