# General Information: Yahweh speaks to the people of Israel. # Be attentive to me ... listen to me These two phrases mean the same thing. Together they strengthen the command to listen. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-parallelism]]) # I will make my justice to be a light for the nations Here God's justice represents his law, and a light represents knowledge of what is right. This means the people of the nations will understand and obey God's law. Alternate translation: "my law will teach the nations what is right" or "the nations will know my law" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metaphor]])
