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 />
