Look! You shall call a nation that you do not know,
    and a nation that does not know you shall run to you,
because of Yahweh your God,
    and the holy one of Israel, for he has glorified you.”
Seek Yahweh while he lets himself be found;[a]
    call him while he is[b] near.
Let the wicked forsake his way,
    and the man of sin his thoughts.
And let him return to Yahweh, that[c] he may take pity on him,
    and to our God, for he will forgive manifold.[d]
