Isaiah 51:4-8
World English Bible
4 “Listen to me, my people;
and hear me, my nation,
for a law will go out from me,
and I will establish my justice for a light to the peoples.
5 My righteousness is near.
My salvation has gone out,
and my arms will judge the peoples.
The islands will wait for me,
and they will trust my arm.
6 Lift up your eyes to the heavens,
and look at the earth beneath;
for the heavens will vanish away like smoke,
and the earth will wear out like a garment.
Its inhabitants will die in the same way,
but my salvation will be forever,
and my righteousness will not be abolished.
7 “Listen to me, you who know righteousness,
the people in whose heart is my law.
Don’t fear the reproach of men,
and don’t be dismayed at their insults.
8 For the moth will eat them up like a garment,
and the worm will eat them like wool;
but my righteousness will be forever,
and my salvation to all generations.”
Isaiah 51:4-8

4 “Listen to Me, My people;
And give ear to Me, O My nation:
(A)For law will proceed from Me,
And I will make My justice rest
(B)As a light of the peoples.

My salvation has gone forth,
(D)And My arms will judge the peoples;
(E)The coastlands will wait upon Me,
And (F)on My arm they will trust.
6 (G)Lift up your eyes to the heavens,
And look on the earth beneath.
For (H)the heavens will vanish away like smoke,

And those who dwell in it will die in like manner;
But My salvation will be (J)forever,
And My righteousness will not be [a]abolished.
7 “Listen to Me, you who know righteousness,
You people (K)in whose heart is My law:
(L)Do not fear the reproach of men,
Nor be afraid of their insults.
8 For (M)the moth will eat them up like a garment,
And the worm will eat them like wool;
But My righteousness will be forever,
And My salvation from generation to generation.”
