Isaiah 51:12-16

Modern English Version

¹² I, even I, am He who comforts you.
    Who are you that you should be afraid of a man who shall die,
    and of the son of man who shall be made as grass,
¹³ and forget the Lord your maker
    who has stretched out the heavens
    and laid the foundations of the earth?
And have feared continually every day
    because of the fury of the oppressor
    as he makes ready to destroy?
Yet where is the fury of the oppressor?
¹⁴     The exile shall soon be freed,
and shall not die in the dungeon,
    nor will his bread be lacking.
¹⁵ But I am the Lord your God
    who divided the sea whose waves roared;
    the Lord of Hosts is His name.
¹⁶ I have put My words in your mouth,
    and I have covered you in the shadow of My hand
that I may plant the heavens,
    and lay the foundations of the earth,
    and say to Zion, “You are My people.”
