4“1PayH7181 attentionH7181 to Me, My peopleH5971, And listenH238 to Me, My 2nationH3816; For a 3lawH8451 will goH3318 outH3318 from Me, And I will bringH7280 My 4justiceH4941 as a 5lightH216 of the peoplesH5971.5My 6righteousnessH6664 is nearH7138, My salvationH3468 has goneH3318 forthH3318, And My 7armsH2220 will judgeH8199 the peoplesH5971; The 8coastlandsH339 will waitH6960 for Me, And they will waitH3176 expectantlyH3176 for My 9armH2220.610RaiseH5375 your eyesH5869 to the skyH8064, Then lookH5027 to the earthH776 beneathH4480H8478; For the 11skyH8064 will vanishH4414 like smokeH6227, And the 12earthH776 will wearH1086 outH1086 like a garmentH899 And its inhabitantsH3427 will dieH4191 13in the sameH3644 wayH3651. But My 14salvationH3444 will be foreverH5769, And My righteousnessH6666 will not failH2865.715ListenH8085 to Me, you who knowH3045 righteousnessH6664, A peopleH5971 in whose 16heartH3820 is My LawH8451; Do not fearH3372 the 17tauntingH2781 of 18peopleH582, NorH408 be terrifiedH2865 of their abusesH1421.8For the 19mothH6211 will eatH398 them like a garmentH899; Yes, the 20mothH5580 will eatH398 them like woolH6785. But My 21righteousnessH6666 will be foreverH5769, And My salvationH3444 to allH1755 generationsH1755.”
