Isaiah 51:4-14 (New American Standard)
View In My Bible
4
"1Pay attention to Me, O My people, And give ear to Me, O My anation ; For a 2law will go forth from Me, And I will bset My 3justice for a 4light of the peoples.
5
"My 5righteousness is near, My salvation has gone forth, And My 6arms will judge the peoples ; The 7coastlands will wait for Me, And for My 8arm they will wait expectantly.
6
"9Lift up your eyes to the sky, Then look to the earth beneath ; For the 10sky will vanish like smoke, And the 11earth will wear out like a garment And its inhabitants will die cin like manner ; But My 12salvation will be forever, And My righteousness will not dwane.
7
"13Listen to Me, you who know righteousness, A people in whose 14heart is My law ; Do not fear the 15reproach of man, Nor be dismayed at their revilings.
8
"For the 16moth will eat them like a garment, And the 17grub will eat them like wool. But My 18righteousness will be forever, And My salvation to all generations."
9
19Awake, awake, put on strength, O arm of the LORD ; Awake as in the 20days of old, the generations of long ago. 21Was it not You who cut Rahab in pieces, Who pierced the 22dragon ?
10
Was it not You who 23dried up the sea, The waters of the great deep ; Who made the depths of the sea a pathway For the 24redeemed to cross over ?
11
So the 25ransomed of the LORD will return And come with joyful shouting to Zion, And 26everlasting joy will be on their heads. They will obtain gladness and joy, And 27sorrow and sighing will flee away.
12
"I, even I, am He who 28comforts you. Who are you that you are afraid of 29man who dies And of the son of man who is made 30like grass,
13
That you have 31forgotten the LORD your Maker, Who 32stretched out the heavens And laid the foundations of the earth, That you 33fear continually all day long because of the fury of the oppressor, As he makes ready to destroy ? But where is the fury of the 34oppressor ?
14
"The e35exile will soon be set free, and will not die in the dungeon, 36nor will his bread be lacking.
