And to Sarah who bore you;
bFor I called him alone,
And cblessed him and increased him.”
He will comfort all her waste places;
He will make her wilderness like Eden,
And her desert blike the garden of the Lord;
Joy and gladness will be found in it,
Thanksgiving and the voice of melody.
And give ear to Me, O My nation:
aFor law will proceed from Me,
And I will make My justice rest
bAs a light of the peoples.
My salvation has gone forth,
bAnd My arms will judge the peoples;
cThe coastlands will wait upon Me,
And don My arm they will trust.
And look on the earth beneath.
For bthe heavens will vanish away like smoke,
cThe earth will grow old like a garment,
And those who dwell in it will die in like manner;
But My salvation will be dforever,
And My righteousness will not be1 abolished.
You people ain whose heart is My law:
bDo not fear the reproach of men,
Nor be afraid of their insults.
And the worm will eat them like wool;
But My righteousness will be forever,
And My salvation from generation to generation.”
| << Isaiah 51:3 | Isaiah 51:5 >> |
