United Nations petition — incomplete report<br />

Sovereign LORD helps me, I will not be disgraced. Therefore have<br />

I set my face like flint, and I know I will not be put to shame.<br />

He who vindicates me is near. Who then will bring charges<br />

against me? Let us face each other! Who is my accuser?<br />

Let him confront me! It is the Sovereign LORD who helps<br />

me. Who is he who will condemn me? They will all wear out<br />

like a garment; the moths will eat them up.<br />

Who among you fears the LORD and obeys the word of his<br />

servant? Let him who walks in the dark, who has no light,<br />

trust in the name of the LORD and rely on his God.<br />

But now, all you who light fires and provide yourselves with<br />

flaming torches, go, walk in the light of your fires and of<br />

the torches you have set ablaze.<br />

This is what you shall receive from my hand:<br />

You will lie down in torment.<br />

Truth is nowhere to be found, and whoever shuns evil becomes<br />

a prey. The LORD looked and was displeased that there was no<br />

justice. He saw that there was no-one, he was appalled that<br />

there was no-one to intervene; so his own arm worked salvation<br />

for him, and his own righteousness sustained him. He put on<br />

righteousness as his breastplate, and the helmet of salvation on<br />

his head; he put on the garments of vengeance and wrapped<br />

himself in zeal as in a cloak. According to what they have<br />

done, so will he repay wrath to his enemies and retribution<br />

to his foes; he will repay the islands their due. From the<br />

west, men will fear the name of the LORD, and from the<br />

rising of the sun, they will revere his glory. For he will come<br />

like a pent-up flood that the breath of the LORD drives<br />

along.<br />

'The Redeemer will come to Zion, to those in Jacob who<br />

repent of their sins,' declares the LORD.<br />

'As for me, this is my covenant with them,' says the LORD.<br />

'My Spirit, who is on you, and my words that I have put<br />

in your mouth will not depart from your mouth, or from<br />

the mouths of your children, or from the mouths of their<br />

descendants from this time and for ever,' says the LORD."<br />

(Excerpts from Isaiah chaps. 42, 49, 50 and 59)<br />
