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.”
O arm of the Lord!
Awake cas in the ancient days,
In the generations of old.
dAre You not the arm that cut eRahab apart,
And wounded the fserpent?
The waters of the great deep;
That made the depths of the sea a road
For the redeemed to cross over?
And come to Zion with singing,
With everlasting joy on their heads.
They shall obtain joy and gladness;
Sorrow and sighing shall flee away.
Who are you that you should be afraid
bOf a man who will die,
And of the son of a man who will be made clike grass?
bWho stretched out the heavens
And laid the foundations of the earth;
You have feared continually every day
Because of the fury of the oppressor,
When he has prepared to destroy.
cAnd where is the fury of the oppressor?
aThat he should not die in the pit,
And that his bread should not fail.
Who adivided the sea whose waves roared—
The Lord of hosts is His name.
bI have covered you with the shadow of My hand,
cThat I may1 plant the heavens,
Lay the foundations of the earth,
And say to Zion, ‘You are My people.’ ”
God’s Fury Removed
Stand up, O Jerusalem,
You who bhave drunk at the hand of the Lord
The cup of His fury;
You have drunk the dregs of the cup of trembling,
And drained it out.
Among all the sons she has brought forth;
Nor is there any who takes her by the hand
Among all the sons she has brought up.
| << Isaiah 51:8 | Isaiah 51:10 >> |
