Isaiah 51:7-16
71ListenH8085 to Me, you who knowH3045 righteousnessH6664, A peopleH5971 in whose 2heartH3820 is My LawH8451; Do not fearH3372 the 3tauntingH2781 of 4peopleH582, NorH408 be terrifiedH2865 of their abusesH1421.8For the 5mothH6211 will eatH398 them like a garmentH899; Yes, the 6mothH5580 will eatH398 them like woolH6785. But My 7righteousnessH6666 will be foreverH5769, And My salvationH3444 to allH1755 generationsH1755.”
98AwakeH5782, awakeH5782, putH3847 onH3847 strengthH5797, O armH2220 of the LordH3068; AwakeH5782 as in the 9daysH3117 of oldH6924, the generationsH1755 of longH5769 agoH5769. 10Was it not You who cutH2672 11RahabH7293 inH2672 piecesH2672, Who piercedH2490 the 12dragonH8577?10Was it not You who 13driedH2717 upH2717 the seaH3220, The watersH4325 of the greatH7227 deepH8415; Who madeH7760 the depthsH4615 of the seaH3220 a pathwayH1870 For the 14redeemedH1350 to crossH5674 overH5674?11And the 15redeemedH6299 of the LordH3068 will returnH7725 And comeH935 to ZionH6726 with joyfulH7440 shoutingH7440, And 16everlastingH5769 joyH8057 will be on their headsH7218. They will obtainH5381 gladnessH8342 and joyH8057, And 17sorrowH3015 and sighingH585 will fleeH5127 awayH5127.
12“I, I MyselfH59, am He who 18comfortsH5162 you. WhoH4310 are you that you areH3372 afraidH3372 of 1920mortalH4191 manH582, And of a sonH1121 of manH120 who is madeH5414 like 21grassH2682,13That you have 22forgottenH7911 the LordH3068 your MakerH6213, Who 23stretchedH5186 outH5186 the heavensH8064 And laidH3245 the foundationsH3245 of the earthH776, That you 24fearH6342 continuallyH8548 allH3605 dayH3117 long becauseH4480H6440 of the furyH2534 of the oppressorH6693, As he makesH3559 readyH3559 to destroyH7843? And whereH346 is the rageH2534 of the 25oppressorH6693? 14The 2627exileH6808 will soonH4116 be setH6605 freeH6605, and will not dieH4191 in the 28dungeonH7845, 29norH3808 will his breadH3899 be lackingH2637. 15For I am the LordH3068 your GodH430, who 30stirsH7280 up the seaH3220 so that its wavesH1530 roarH1993 (the LordH3068 of armiesH6635 is His nameH8034). 16And I have 31putH7760 My wordsH1697 in your mouthH6310 and have 32coveredH3680 you with the shadowH6738 of My handH3027, to 3334establishH5193 the heavensH8064, to foundH3245 the earthH776, and to sayH559 to ZionH6726, ‘You are My peopleH5971.’”
