Yahweh continues speaking to the people of Israel.

|
|
|
## Be attentive to me, my people; and listen to me, my people ##
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

These mean the same thing and are combined for emphasis. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-parallelism]])

## and I will make my justice to be a light for the nations ##
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This means the people of the nations will understand and obey God's law. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor]])

## My righteousness is near ##
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This means God will soon fulfill his promises to the people of Israel.

## my arm ##
|
