Isaiah 51:1-8

1Hearken unto 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 bore you; for I calledH7121 him when he was alone, and blessedH1288 him, and multipliedH7235 him.

3For Jehovah shall comfortH5162 ZionH6726, he shall comfortH5162 all her wasteH2723 placesH2723; and he will makeH7760 her wildernessH4057 like EdenH5731, and her desertH6160 like the gardenH1588 of Jehovah: gladnessH8057 and joyH8057 shall be foundH4672 therein, thanksgivingH8426, and the voiceH6963 of song.

4Listen unto me, my peopleH5971; and giveH238 earH238 unto me, my nation: for a lawH8451 shall proceed from me, and I will establish my judgmentH4941 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 in mine armH2220 shall they trust.

6LiftH5375 up your eyesH5869 to the heavensH8064, and lookH5027 on the earthH776 beneath: for the heavensH8064 shall vanish awayH5375 like smokeH6227, and the earthH776 shall grow old like a garmentH899, and they that dwellH3427 therein shall dieH4191 in like manner; but my salvationH3444 shall beH1961 for everH5769, and my righteousnessH6666 shall not beH1961 abolished.

7Hearken unto me, ye that knowH3045 righteousnessH6664, the peopleH5971 in whose heartH3820 is my lawH8451; fearH3372 not the reproachH2781 of men, and be not afraidH3372 of their revilings.

8For the mothH6211 shall eatH398 them up like a garmentH899, and the worm shall eatH398 them like woolH6785; but my righteousnessH6666 shall beH1961 for everH5769, and my salvationH3444 from generationH1755 to generationH1755.
