Isaiah 51:7-8
World English Bible
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 51:7-8
New English Translation
7 Listen to me, you who know what is right,
you people who are aware of my law.[a]
Don’t be afraid of the insults of men;
don’t be discouraged because of their abuse.
8 For a moth will eat away at them like clothes;
a clothes moth will devour them like wool.
But the vindication I provide[b] will be permanent;
the deliverance I give will last.”
