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.
| << Isaiah 51:12 | Isaiah 51:14 >> |
