| 46:8-11 | 8 | Come, behold the works of the Lord, |
| Who has made desolations in the earth. | ||
| 9 | He makes wars cease to the end of the earth; | |
| He breaks the bow and cuts the spear in two; | ||
| He burns the chariot in the fire. | ||
| 10 | Be still, and know that I am God; | |
| I will be exalted among the nations, | ||
| I will be exalted in the earth! | ||
| 11 | The Lord of hosts is with us; | |
| I will be exalted in the earth! | ||
| The God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah |
