Isaiah 51:5-8

5I am ready to do what is right for them. I am ready to save them. I will judge all the nations fairly. Lands that are far away will wait for me to help them. They wait for me to come and rule them all with power.

6Look up at the sky! Look down at the earth below! One day, the sky will disappear like smoke that blows away. The earth will become useless, like old clothes. The people who live on it will die. They will fall like flies. But I will keep my people safe for ever. I will always rule with righteousness.

7Listen to me, you people who know what is right. You people who think carefully about my law, listen to me. When people speak against you, do not be afraid. Do not be upset, when they insult you.

8Those people will soon disappear, like clothes that moths have eaten, like wool that worms have eaten. But I will always rule with righteousness. I will keep my people safe for ever.’
