SCRIPTURE

"Hear, ye that are far off, what I have done; and, ye that are near, acknowledge my might." — Isaiah 33:13 (ASV)

Hear, you that are far off This is an address of Yahweh, indicating that the destruction of the Assyrian army would be so significant that it would be known to distant nations and would serve as a warning to them.

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