Isaiah:51:1-16
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Hearken to me ,
ye that pursue righteousness .
Ye that seek Jehovah !
Look to the rock whence ye were hewn ,
To the pit
quarry whence ye were digged !
*
Look to Abraham your father ,
And to Sarah that bore you !
For I called him when only one ,
And blessed him ,
and multiplied him .
*
Thus will Jehovah have pity upon Zion ;
He will have pity upon all her desolations .
He will make her wilderness like Eden ,
Her desert like the garden of Jehovah .
Joy and gladness shall be found therein ;
Thanksgiving ,
and the voice of melody .
*
Hearken to me ,
O my people !
And give ear to me ,
O my nation !
For a law shall proceed from me ,
And I will establish my statutes for the light of the nations .
*
My help is near ;
my salvation goeth forth ;
My arm shall judge the nations ;
Distant lands shall wait for me ,
And in my arm shall they trust .
*
Lift up your eyes to the heavens ,
And look down upon the earth beneath !
For the heavens shall vanish away like smoke ,
And the earth shall decay like a garment ,
And its inhabitants shall perish like flies .
But my salvation shall endure forever ,
And my goodness shall not decay .
*
Hearken to me ,
ye that know righteousness ,
The people in whose heart is my law !
Fear ye not the reproach of men ,
Nor be disheartened by their revilings !
*
For the moth shall consume them like a garment ,
And the worm shall eat them like wool .
But my goodness shall endure forever ,
And my salvation from generation to generation .
*
Awake !
awake !
clothe thyself with strength ,
O arm of Jehovah !
Awake ,
as in the ancient days ,
in the generations of old !
*
Art thou not the same that smote Rahab ,
And wounded the dragon ?
Art thou not the same that dried up the sea ,
The waters of the great deep ,
That made the depths of the sea a path for the redeemed to pass through ?
*
Thus shall the ransomed of Jehovah return ;
They shall come to Zion with singing ;
Everlasting joy shall be upon their heads ;
They shall obtain gladness and joy ,
And sorrow and sighing shall flee away .
*
I ,
even I ,
am he that hath pity upon you ;
Who art thou ,
that thou art afraid of man ,
that shall die ,
Of the son of man ,
that shall perish like grass ,
*
And forgettest Jehovah thy maker ,
That stretched out the heavens ,
And founded the earth ,
And fearest continually every day ,
On account of the fury of the oppressor ,
As if he were taking aim to destroy thee ?
Where now is the fury of the oppressor ?
*
Soon shall the enchained be loosed ;
He shall not die in the pit ,
Nor shall his bread fail .
*
For I am Jehovah thy God ,
That rebuketh the sea when his waves roar ;
Jehovah of hosts is his name .
*
I have put my words into thy mouth ,
And have covered thee with the shadow of my hand ,
To establish the heavens ,
and to found the earth .
And to say to Zion , "
Thou art my people !"
