Let all the nations be gathered together, and let the people be assembled: who among them can declare this, and shew us former things? let them bring forth their witnesses, that they may be justified: or let them hear, and say, It is truth.
Let all the nations come together, and let all peoples gather: which of them can announce this, and show us what happened before? Let them bring their witnesses to prove they are right, or let them listen and say, 'This is true.'
God is challenging all the nations to prove that their gods can predict the future or explain the past like He can.
