Isaiah 51:7-16
7HearkenH8085 unto me, ye that knowH3045 righteousnessH6664, the peopleH5971 in whose heartH3820 is my lawH8451; fearH3372 ye not the reproachH2781 of menH582, neither be ye afraidH2865 of their revilingsH1421. 8For the mothH6211 shall eat them upH398 like a garmentH899, and the wormH5580 shall eatH398 them like woolH6785: but my righteousnessH6666 shall be for everH5769, and my salvationH3444 from generationH1755 to generationH1755.
9AwakeH5782, awakeH5782, put onH3847 strengthH5797, O armH2220 of YhwhH3068; awakeH5782, as in the ancientH6924 daysH3117, in the generationsH1755 of oldH5769. Art thou not He that hath cutH2672 RahabH7294, and woundedH2490 the dragonH8577? 10Art thou not He which hath driedH2717 the seaH3220, the watersH4325 of the greatH7227 deepH8415; that hath madeH7760 the depthsH4615 of the seaH3220 a wayH1870 for the ransomedH1350 to pass overH5674? 11Therefore the redeemedH6299 of YhwhH3068 shall returnH7725, and comeH935 with singingH7440 unto ZionH6726; and everlastingH5769 joyH8057 shall be upon their headH7218: they shall obtainH5381 gladnessH8342 and joyH8057; and sorrowH3015 and mourningH585 shall flee awayH5127. 12I, even I, am he that comfortethH5162 you: who art thou, that thou shouldest be afraidH3372 of a manH582 that shall dieH4191, and of the sonH1121 of manH120 which shall be madeH5414 as grassH2682; 13And forgettestH7911 YhwhH3068 thy makerH6213, that hath stretched forthH5186 the heavensH8064, and laid the foundationsH3245 of the earthH776; and hast fearedH6342 continuallyH8548 every dayH3117 becauseH6440 of the furyH2534 of the oppressorH6693, as ifH834 he were readyH3559 to destroyH7843? and where is the furyH2534 of the oppressorH6693?1 14The captive exileH6808 hastenethH4116 that he may be loosedH6605, and that he should not dieH4191 in the pitH7845, nor that his breadH3899 should failH2637. 15But I am YhwhH3068 thy GodH430, that dividedH7280 the seaH3220, whose wavesH1530 roaredH1993: YhwhH3068 of ArmiesH6635 is his nameH8034. 16And I have putH7760 my wordsH1697 in thy mouthH6310, and I have coveredH3680 thee in the shadowH6738 of mine handH3027, that I may plantH5193 the heavensH8064, and lay the foundationsH3245 of the earthH776, and sayH559 unto ZionH6726, Thou art my peopleH5971.
