Isaiah 51:4-6
Holman Christian Standard Bible
4 Pay attention to Me, My people,
and listen to Me, My nation;
for instruction will come from Me,
and My justice for a light to the nations.(A)
I will bring it about quickly.
5 My righteousness is near,(B)
My salvation appears,
and My arms will bring justice to the nations.(C)
The coastlands[a] will put their hope in Me,
and they will look to My strength.[b]
6 Look up to the heavens,
and look at the earth beneath;
for the heavens will vanish like smoke,
the earth will wear out like a garment,
and its inhabitants will die like gnats.[c](D)
But My salvation will last forever,(E)
and My righteousness will never be shattered.
