Isaiah 51:3-5
King James Version
3 For the Lord shall comfort Zion: he will comfort all her waste places; and he will make her wilderness like Eden, and her desert like the garden of the Lord; joy and gladness shall be found therein, thanksgiving, and the voice of melody.
4 Hearken unto me, my people; and give ear unto me, O my nation: for a law shall proceed from me, and I will make my judgment to rest for a light of the people.
5 My righteousness is near; my salvation is gone forth, and mine arms shall judge the people; the isles shall wait upon me, and on mine arm shall they trust.

and give ear to me, my nation;
(F)for a law[a] will go out from me,
and I will set my justice for a light to the peoples.

my salvation has gone out,
and my arms will judge the peoples;
(H)the coastlands hope for me,
and for my arm they wait.
