Isaiah 51:4-8
Legacy Standard Bible
4 “(A)Pay attention to Me, O My people,
And give ear to Me, O My [a]nation;
For a (B)law will go forth from Me,
And I will [b]set My (C)justice for a (D)light of the peoples.
5 My (E)righteousness is near, My salvation has gone forth,
And My (F)arms will judge the peoples;
The (G)coastlands will hope in Me,
And for My (H)arm they will wait expectantly.
6 (I)Lift up your eyes to the sky,
Then look to the earth beneath;
For the (J)sky will vanish like smoke,
And the (K)earth will wear out like a garment,
And its inhabitants will die [c]in like manner;
But My (L)salvation will be forever,
And My righteousness will not be dismayed.
7 (M)Listen to Me, you who know righteousness,
A people in whose (N)heart is My law;
Do not fear the (O)reproach of man,
Nor be dismayed at their revilings.
8 For the (P)moth will eat them like a garment,
And the (Q)grub will eat them like wool.
But My (R)righteousness will be forever,
And My salvation to all generations.”
