THE MESSAGE
"If you're far away, get the reports on what I've done, And if you're in the neighborhood, pay attention to my record. The sinners in Zion are rightly terrified; the godless are at their wit's end: ‘Who among us can survive this firestorm? Who of us can get out of this purge with our lives?'"
New American Standard Bible (1995)
"You who are far away, hear what I have done; And you who are near, acknowledge My might."

Contextual Overview

13You who are far off, hear what I have done;you who are near, know my strength.”14The sinners in Zion are afraid;trembling seizes the ungodly:“Who among us can dwell with a consuming fire?Who among us can dwell with ever-burning flames?” 15The one who lives righteouslyand speaks rightly,who refuses profit from extortion,whose hand never takes a bribe,who stops his ears from listening to murderous plotsand shuts his eyes against evil schemes— 16he will dwell on the heights;his refuge will be the rocky fortresses,his food provided, his water assured. 17Your eyes will see the King in his beauty;you will see a vast land. 18Your mind will meditate on the past terror:“Where is the accountant?Where is the tribute collector?Where is the one who spied out our defenses?” 19You will no longer see the barbarians,a people whose speech is difficult to comprehend—who stammer in a language that is not understood. 20Look at Zion, the city of our festival times.Your eyes will see Jerusalem,a peaceful pasture, a tent that does not wander;its tent pegs will not be pulled upnor will any of its cords be loosened. 21For the majestic one, our Lord, will be there,a place of rivers and broad streamswhere ships that are rowed will not go,and majestic vessels will not pass. 22For the Lord is our Judge,the Lord is our Lawgiver,the Lord is our King.He will save us.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Hear, ye [that are] far off, what I have done,.... Not meaning the destruction of the Assyrian, as it is commonly interpreted; but the ruin of antichrist, the beast, and false prophet, and the burning of the city and whore of Rome; for, whoever will be the instruments, the work is the Lord's, and therefore it will be done: "she shall be utterly burnt with fire, for strong is the Lord who judgeth her", Revelation 18:8 and this shall be heard of far and near, who shall applaud the mighty work, and give God the glory of it,

Revelation 19:1:

and, ye [that are] near, acknowledge my might; even his omnipotence, which will be seen, observed, and owned by multitudes, who will say, "Allelujah, for the Lord God omnipotent reigneth", Revelation 19:6 there will be some that will be nigh, that shall stand afar off, lamenting her case, and will not own the hand of God in it, Revelation 18:9 but others will.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Hear, ye that are far off - This is an address of Yahweh, indicating that the destruction of the Assyrian army would be so signal that it would be known to distant nations, and would constitute an admonition to them.

Ye that are near - Ye Jews; or the nations immediately adjacent to Judea. The phrase ‘far and near,’ is equivalent to all.
