1“Listen to me, you who follow after righteousness,
2Look to Abraham your father,
3For Yahweh has comforted Zion.
4“Listen to me, my people;
5My righteousness is near.
6Lift up your eyes to the heavens,
7“Listen to me, you who know righteousness,
8For the moth will eat them up like a garment,
9Awake, awake, put on strength, arm of Yahweh!
10Isn’t it you who dried up the sea,
11Those ransomed by Yahweh will return,
12“I, even I, am he who comforts you.
13Have you forgotten Yahweh your Maker,
14The captive exile will speedily be freed.
15For I am Yahweh your God, who stirs up the sea
16I have put my words in your mouth
17Awake, awake!
18There is no one to guide her among all the sons to whom she has given birth;
19These two things have happened to you—
20Your sons have fainted.
21Therefore now hear this, you afflicted,
22Your Lord Yahweh,
23I will put it into the hand of those who afflict you,
