Isaiah 51:2-4

New American Standard Bible

²Look to ^(A)Abraham your father
And to Sarah who gave birth to you in pain;
When he ^(B)was only one I called him,
Then I blessed him and multiplied him.”
³Indeed, ^(C)the Lord will comfort Zion;
He will comfort all her ^(D)ruins.
And He will make her ^(E)wilderness like ^(F)Eden,
And her desert like the ^(G)garden of the Lord.
^(H)Joy and gladness will be found in her,
Thanksgiving and the sound of a melody.

⁴“^(I)Pay attention to Me, My people,
And listen to Me, My ^[a]nation;
For a ^(J)law will go out from Me,
And I will bring My ^(K)justice as a ^(L)light of the peoples.
