Isaiah:51:2-11
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Look unto Abraham your father ,
and unto Sarah that bare you :
for I called him alone ,
and blessed him ,
and increased him .
*
For the LORD shall comfort Zion :
he will comfort all her waste places ;
and he will make her wilderness like Eden ,
and her desert like the garden of the LORD ;
joy and gladness shall be found therein ,
thanksgiving ,
and the voice of melody .
*
Hearken unto me ,
my people ;
and give ear unto me ,
O my nation :
for a law shall proceed from me ,
and I will make my judgment to rest for a light of the people .
*
My righteousness is near ;
my salvation is gone forth ,
and mine arms shall judge the people ;
the isles shall wait upon me ,
and on mine arm shall they trust .
*
Lift up your eyes to the heavens ,
and look upon the earth beneath :
for the heavens shall vanish away like smoke ,
and the earth shall wax old like a garment ,
and they that dwell therein shall die in like manner :
but my salvation shall be for ever ,
and my righteousness shall not be abolished .
*
Hearken unto me ,
ye that know righteousness ,
the people in whose heart is my law ;
fear ye not the reproach of men ,
neither be ye afraid of their revilings .
*
For the moth shall eat them up like a garment ,
and the worm shall eat them like wool :
but my righteousness shall be for ever ,
and my salvation from generation to generation .
*
Awake ,
awake ,
put on strength ,
O arm of the LORD ;
awake ,
as in the ancient days ,
in the generations of old .
Art thou not it that hath cut Rahab ,
and wounded the dragon ?
*
Art thou not it which hath dried the sea ,
the waters of the great deep ;
that hath made the depths of the sea a way for the ransomed to pass over ?
*
Therefore the redeemed of the LORD shall return ,
and come with singing unto Zion ;
and everlasting joy shall be upon their head ro #
sh #:
they shall obtain gladness and joy ;
and sorrow and mourning shall flee away .
