Isaiah 51

¹“Listen to Me, you who pursue righteousness,

²Look to Abraham your father,

³For the LORD will comfort Zion

⁴Pay attention to Me, My people,

⁵My righteousness draws near,

⁶Lift up your eyes to the heavens,

⁷Listen to Me, you who know what is right,

⁸For the moth will devour them like a garment,

⁹Awake, awake,

¹⁰Was it not You who dried up the sea,

¹¹So the redeemed of the LORD will return

¹²“I, even I, am He who comforts you.

¹³But you have forgotten the LORD, your Maker,

¹⁴The captive will soon be freed;

¹⁵For I am the LORD your God

¹⁶I have put My words in your mouth,

¹⁷Awake, awake!

¹⁸Among all the sons she bore,

¹⁹These pairs have befallen you:

²⁰Your sons have fainted;

²¹Therefore now hear this, you afflicted one,

²²Thus says your Lord, the LORD,

²³I will place it in the hands of your tormentors,
