Isaiah 51:4-6

Good News Translation

⁴ “Listen to me, my people,
    listen to what I say:
I give my teaching to the nations;
    my laws will bring them light.
⁵ I will come quickly and save them;
    the time of my victory is near.
I myself will rule over the nations.
    Distant lands wait for me to come;
    they wait with hope for me to save them.
⁶ Look up at the heavens; look at the earth!
    The heavens will disappear like smoke;
    the earth will wear out like old clothing,
    and all its people will die like flies.
But the deliverance I bring will last forever;
    my victory will be final.
