Isaiah 51:1-5

1HearkenH8085 to me, ye that follow afterH7291 righteousnessH6664, ye that seekH1245 YhwhH3068: lookH5027 unto the rockH6697 whence ye are hewnH2672, and to the holeH4718 of the pitH953 whence ye are diggedH5365. 2LookH5027 unto AbrahamH85 your fatherH1, and unto SarahH8283 that bareH2342 you: for I calledH7121 him aloneH259, and blessedH1288 him, and increasedH7235 him. 3For YhwhH3068 shall comfortH5162 ZionH6726: he will comfortH5162 all her waste placesH2723; and he will makeH7760 her wildernessH4057 like EdenH5731, and her desertH6160 like the gardenH1588 of YhwhH3068; joyH8342 and gladnessH8057 shall be foundH4672 therein, thanksgivingH8426, and the voiceH6963 of melodyH2172.

4HearkenH7181 unto me, my peopleH5971; and give earH238 unto me, O my nationH3816: for a lawH8451 shall proceedH3318 from me, and I will make my judgmentH4941 to restH7280 for a lightH216 of the peopleH5971. 5My righteousnessH6664 is nearH7138; my salvationH3468 is gone forthH3318, and mine armsH2220 shall judgeH8199 the peopleH5971; the islesH339 shall waitH6960 upon me, and on mine armH2220 shall they trustH3176.
