“Assemble yourselves and come; draw near together, ye that are escaped of the nations: they have no knowledge that set up the wood of their graven image, and pray unto a god that cannot save.”
The summons to judgment—'Assemble yourselves and come; draw near together, you survivors of the nations!'—calls the nations to witness God's vindication of Israel. The address to 'survivors' suggests that previous divine judgments have already decimated the nations. The command to 'come' and 'draw near' invokes them as witnesses to further vindication. This verse establishes an international court where God will demonstrate superiority over idols.
