Isaiah 51:1-8

1Hearken to meH413, ye that followH7291 afterH413 righteousnessH6664, ye that seekH1245 the LORDH3068: lookH5027 unto the rockH6697 whence ye were hewnH2672, and to the hole of the pitH953 whence ye were digged.

2LookH5027 unto AbrahamH85 your fatherH1, and unto SarahH8283 that bare youH3588: for when he was but one I calledH7121 him, and I blessedH1288 him, and madeH7121 him manyH7235.

3For the LORDH3068 hath comfortedH5162 ZionH6726: he hath comfortedH5162 allH3605 herH3605 wasteH2723 placesH2723, and hath madeH7760 herH3605 wildernessH4057 like EdenH5731, and herH3605 desertH6160 like the gardenH1588 of the LORDH3068; joyH8057 and gladnessH8057 shall be foundH4672 therein, thanksgivingH8426, and the voiceH6963 of melodyH2172.

4Attend unto meH413, O my peopleH5971; and giveH238 earH238 unto meH413, O my nationH5971: for a lawH8451 shall goH3318 forthH3318 from meH413, and I will makeH3588 my judgmentH4941 to restH7280 for a lightH216 of the peoplesH5971.

5My righteousnessH6664 is nearH7138, my salvationH3468 is goneH3318 forthH3318, and mine armsH2220 shall judgeH8199 the peoplesH5971; the islesH339 shall waitH3176 for meH413, and on mine armH2220 shall they trust.

6LiftH5375 upH5375 your eyesH5869 to the heavensH8064, and lookH5027 uponH1961 the earthH776 beneathH8478: for the heavensH8064 shall vanish awayH5375 like smokeH6227, and the earthH776 shall wax oldH5769 like a garmentH899, and they that dwellH3427 therein shall dieH4191 in like mannerH3651: but my salvationH3444 shall be for everH5769, and my righteousnessH6666 shall notH3808 be abolished.

7Hearken unto meH413, ye that knowH3045 righteousnessH6664, the peopleH5971 in whose heartH3820 is my lawH8451; fearH3372 ye notH408 the reproachH2781 of menH582, neitherH408 be ye dismayedH2865 at their revilingsH1421.

8For the mothH6211 shall eatH398 them upH398 like a garmentH899, and the worm shall eatH398 them like woolH6785: but my righteousnessH6666 shall be for everH5769, and my salvationH3444 unto allH1755 generationsH1755.
