Isaiah 51:10-12
EasyEnglish Bible
10 You made the sea become dry,
so that there was a path through the deep water.
The slaves that you rescued
could then cross over.[a]
11 The people that the Lord has rescued
will return from exile.
They will sing with joy
while they go into Zion city.
Their joy will be like a crown
that they wear on their heads for ever.
They will continue to be very happy.
They will never be sad or weep again.
12 ‘I am the Lord who comforts you.
You do not need to be afraid of people who are only human.
Remember that they will all die one day,
like grass that only lives for a short time.
