- 14 Heb “a nation,” but the singular is collective here, as the plural verbs that follow indicate.
- 15 See the note on the phrase “the Holy One of Israel” in .

Since I have made him a witness to the peoples,
a leader and commander for the peoples,
so you will summon a nation you do not know,
and nations who do not know you will run to you.
For the Lord your God,
even the Holy One of Israel,
has glorified you.”
