Isaiah 51:6-8

The Voice

⁶    Don’t worry—look up at the sky and down at the earth.
        The sky will disappear like smoke; the earth will wear out like a well-used garment;
    Every last thing may perish and dissolve, but My salvation is for all time.
        My justice will not end.

⁷    Listen to Me, you who already live out what is true and right,
        who treasure My instruction within your hearts:
    Don’t be afraid of people’s scorn.
        Don’t let their dismissive criticism, bitter anger, or hatred get you down.
⁸    For they’ll come to nothing; they’ll be eaten up as a moth eats a shirt;
        they’ll be consumed as a worm feeds on wool.
    But My justice will endure. I will extend My saving action to every generation.
