Norwegian 2018 (Bibelen - Guds Ord Hverdagsbibelen (Hermon Forlag))
Mennesker fra alle jordens ender, vend dere til Meg og bli frelst! For Jeg er Gud, og det er ingen annen. Jeg har sverget ved Meg selv og sagt det som er sant. Dette er ikke tomme Ord. For Meg skal hvert kne en dag bøye seg. Hvert menneske skal erkjenne med sin munn: ‘Bare i Herren har jeg rettferdighet og styrke.’ Til Ham skal menneskene komme. De som er rasende på Ham, skal den dagen bli spake. Ja, de skal skamme seg over det. Det er på grunn av det Herren selv har gjort, at menneskene skal kunne står rene foran Ham. Hele Israels slekt skal glede seg over det.»
