Isaiah:51:1-16
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Hear Me ,
pursuers of righteousness ,
seekers of Jehovah :
Look to the rock from which you were cut ,
and to the hollow of the pit from which you were dug .
*
Look to your father Abraham ,
and to Sarah who bore you .
For he being but one ,
I called him and blessed him and increased him .
*
For Jehovah comforts Zion .
He comforts all her desolations ,
and He makes her wilderness like Eden ,
and her desert like the garden of Jehovah ;
joy and gladness shall be found in it ,
thanksgiving and the voice of singing praise .
*
Hear Me ,
My people ;
yea ,
give ear to Me ,
My nation .
For a law shall go out from Me ,
and My justice I will make rest as light to peoples .
*
My righteousness is near ;
My salvation went out ;
and My arms shall judge peoples ;
coastlands shall wait on Me ,
and they shall hope on My arm .
*
Lift up your eyes to the heavens ,
and look to the earth beneath ;
for the heavens vanish like smoke ,
and the earth shall wear out like a garment ;
and its inhabitants shall die in the same way ,
but My salvation shall be forever ,
and My righteousness shall not be broken .
*
Hear Me ,
knowers of righteousness ,
the people of My law in their heart ;
do not fear the reproach of man ,
and do not be bowed from their blasphemings .
*
For the moth shall eat them like a garment ;
yea ,
the moth worm shall eat them like wool .
But My righteousness shall be forever ,
and My salvation to generation to generation .
*
Awake !
Awake !
Arm of Jehovah ,
put on strength .
Awake ,
as in days of old ,
everlasting generations .
Was it not You cutting in pieces Rahab ,
and piercing the sea monster ?
*
Was it not You drying up the sea ,
the waters of the great deep ,
who made the depths of the sea a way for the redeemed to pass ?
*
Yea ,
the ransomed of Jehovah shall return and come to Zion with singing ,
and everlasting joy shall be on their head ;
gladness and joy shall overtake them ;
sorrow and sighing shall flee .
*
I ,
I am He comforting you .
Who are you ,
that you should fear from man ?
He shall die !
And from the son of man ?
He is given as grass .
*
And you forget your Maker Jehovah ,
who has stretched out the heavens and founded the earth .
And you dread continually ,
every day ,
from the fury of the oppressor ,
since he was ready to destroy .
And where is the fury of the oppressor ?
*
Bowed down ,
he hurries to be freed ,
and not that he die in the pit ,
and not that he lack his bread .
*
But I am Jehovah your God ,
stirring up the sea and a making its waves roar ;
Jehovah of Hosts is His name .
*
And I have put My words in your mouth ,
and covered you in the shade of My hand ,
to plant the heavens and found the earth ,
and to say to Zion ,
You are My people .
