# Isaiah 51 (New King James Version)
|
|
The Lord Comforts Zion
|
|
|
|
##### Chapter 51
|
|
###### 1 "Listen to Me, you who follow after righteousness,
|
|
You who seek the Lord:
|
|
Look to the rock _from which_ you were hewn,
|
|
And to the hole of the pit _from which_ you were dug.
|
|
|
|
###### 2 Look to Abraham your father,
|
|
And to Sarah _who_ bore you;
|
|
For I called him alone,
|
|
And blessed him and increased him."
|
|
|
|
###### 3 For the Lord will comfort Zion,
|
|
He will comfort all her waste places;
|
|
He will make her wilderness like Eden,
|
|
And her desert like the garden of the Lord;
|
|
Joy and gladness will be found in it,
|
|
Thanksgiving and the voice of melody.
|
|
|
|
###### 4 "Listen to Me, My people;
|
|
And give ear to Me, O My nation:
|
|
For law will proceed from Me,
|
|
And I will make My justice rest
|
|
As a light of the peoples.
|
|
|
|
###### 5 My righteousness _is_ near,
|
|
My salvation has gone forth,
|
|
And My arms will judge the peoples;
|
|
The coastlands will wait upon Me,
|
|
And on My arm they will trust.
|
|
|
|
###### 6 Lift up your eyes to the heavens,
|
|
And look on the earth beneath.
|
|
For the heavens will vanish away like smoke,
|
|
The earth will grow old like a garment,
|
|
And those who dwell in it will die in like manner;
|
|
But My salvation will be forever,
|
|
And My righteousness will not be abolished.
|
|
|
|
###### 7 "Listen to Me, you who know righteousness,
|
|
You people in whose heart _is_ My law:
|
|
Do not fear the reproach of men,
|
|
Nor be afraid of their insults.
|
|
|
|
###### 8 For the moth will eat them up like a garment,
|
|
And the worm will eat them like wool;
|
|
But My righteousness will be forever,
|
|
And My salvation from generation to generation."
|
|
|
|
###### 9 Awake, awake, put on strength,
|
|
O arm of the Lord!
|
|
Awake as in the ancient days,
|
|
In the generations of old.
|
|
_Are_ You not _the arm_ that cut Rahab apart,
|
|
_And_ wounded the serpent?
|
|
|
|
###### 10 _Are_ You not _the One_ who dried up the sea,
|
|
The waters of the great deep;
|
|
That made the depths of the sea a road
|
|
For the redeemed to cross over?
|
|
|
|
###### 11 So the ransomed of the Lord shall return,
|
|
And come to Zion with singing,
|
|
With everlasting joy on their heads.
|
|
They shall obtain joy and gladness;
|
|
Sorrow and sighing shall flee away.
|
|
|
|
###### 12 "I, _even_ I, _am_ He who comforts you.
|
|
Who _are_ you that you should be afraid
|
|
Of a man _who_ will die,
|
|
And of the son of a man _who_ will be made like grass?
|
|
|
|
###### 13 And you forget the Lord your Maker,
|
|
Who stretched out the heavens
|
|
And laid the foundations of the earth;
|
|
You have feared continually every day
|
|
Because of the fury of the oppressor,
|
|
When _he has_ prepared to destroy.
|
|
And where _is_ the fury of the oppressor?
|
|
|
|
###### 14 The captive exile hastens, that he may be loosed,
|
|
That he should not die in the pit,
|
|
And that his bread should not fail.
|
|
|
|
###### 15 But I _am_ the Lord your God,
|
|
Who divided the sea whose waves roared--
|
|
The Lord of hosts _is_ His name.
|
|
|
|
###### 16 And I have put My words in your mouth;
|
|
I have covered you with the shadow of My hand,
|
|
That I may plant the heavens,
|
|
Lay the foundations of the earth,
|
|
And say to Zion, 'You _are_ My people.' "God's Fury Removed
|
|
|
|
###### 17 Awake, awake!
|
|
Stand up, O Jerusalem,
|
|
You who have drunk at the hand of the Lord
|
|
The cup of His fury;
|
|
You have drunk the dregs of the cup of trembling,
|
|
_And_ drained _it_ out.
|
|
|
|
###### 18 _There is_ no one to guide her
|
|
Among all the sons she has brought forth;
|
|
Nor _is there any_ who takes her by the hand
|
|
Among all the sons she has brought up.
|
|
|
|
###### 19 These two _things_ have come to you;
|
|
Who will be sorry for you?--
|
|
Desolation and destruction, famine and sword--
|
|
By whom will I comfort you?
|
|
|
|
###### 20 Your sons have fainted,
|
|
They lie at the head of all the streets,
|
|
Like an antelope in a net;
|
|
They are full of the fury of the Lord,
|
|
The rebuke of your God.
|
|
|
|
###### 21 Therefore please hear this, you afflicted,
|
|
And drunk but not with wine.
|
|
|
|
###### 22 Thus says your Lord,
|
|
The Lord and your God,
|
|
_Who_ pleads the cause of His people:
|
|
"See, I have taken out of your hand
|
|
The cup of trembling,
|
|
The dregs of the cup of My fury;
|
|
You shall no longer drink it.
|
|
|
|
###### 23 But I will put it into the hand of those who afflict you,
|
|
Who have said to you,
|
|
'Lie down, that we may walk over you.'
|
|
And you have laid your body like the ground,
|
|
And as the street, for those who walk over."
