Isaiah 51:1-5

1Hearken to me, ye that follow after righteousnessH6664, ye that seekH1245 Jehovah: lookH5027 unto the rockH6697 whence ye were hewn, and to the hole of the pitH953 whence ye were digged. 2LookH5027 unto AbrahamH85 your fatherH1, and unto SarahH8283 that bare you; for when he was but oneH259 I calledH7121 him, and I blessedH1288 him, and made him manyH7235. 3For Jehovah hath comfortedH5162 ZionH6726; he hath comfortedH5162 all her wasteH2723 placesH2723, and hath madeH7760 her wildernessH4057 like EdenH5731, and her desertH6160 like the gardenH1588 of Jehovah; joyH8057 and gladnessH8057 shall be foundH4672 therein, thanksgivingH8426, and the voiceH6963 of melody.

4Attend unto me, O my peopleH5971; and giveH238 earH238 unto me, O my nation: for a lawH8451 shall goH3318 forthH3318 from me, and I will establish my justiceH4941 for a lightH216 of the peoplesH5971. 5My righteousnessH6664 is near, my salvationH3468 is goneH3318 forthH3318, and mine armsH2220 shall judgeH8199 the peoplesH5971; the isles shall waitH3176 for me, and on mine armH2220 shall they trust.
