Isaiah 51:10-12

International Standard Version

¹⁰Was it not you who dried up the sea,
the waters of the great deep,
who made a road in^[a] the depths of the sea
so that the redeemed could cross over?”

A Promise of Return to the Land

¹¹“The scattered ones^[b] of the Lord will return,
    and they will enter Zion with singing.
Everlasting joy will be upon their heads;
    they will attain joy and gladness,
        and^[c] sorrow and sighing will flee away.^[d]

¹²“I—yes, I—am the one who comforts you.
Who are you, that you are so afraid of humans who will die,
descendants of mere^[e] men, who have been made^[f] like grass?
