Isaiah 41:5

The isles, even remote countries, as Isaiah 41:1, saw it; discerned the mighty work of God in delivering his people, and overthrowing their enemies, in so wonderful a manner. Feared, lest they should be involved in the same calamity, as being conscious to themselves that they also were enemies to God's people. Drew near, and came; they gathered themselves together to consult for their common safety, and to maintain the cause of their idols, whom by this instance they perceived in great jeopardy.
