Isaiah 51:4-6

4“1Pay attention to Me, O My people, And give ear to Me, O My 2nation; For a 3law will go forth from Me, And I will 4set My 5justice for a 6light of the peoples.5My 7righteousness is near, My salvation has gone forth, And My 8arms will judge the peoples; The 9coastlands will wait for Me, And for My 10arm they will wait expectantly.611Lift up your eyes to the sky, Then look to the earth beneath; For the 12sky will vanish like smoke, And the 13earth will wear out like a garment And its inhabitants will die 14in like manner; But My 15salvation will be forever, And My righteousness will not 16wane.
