Isaiah 51:12-16
English Standard Version
12 “I, I am he (A)who comforts you;
who are you that you are afraid of (B)man who dies,
of the son of man who is made (C)like grass,
13 and have forgotten the Lord, your Maker,
(D)who stretched out the heavens
and (E)laid the foundations of the earth,
and you fear continually all the day
because of the wrath of (F)the oppressor,
when he sets himself to destroy?
And where is the wrath of (G)the oppressor?
14 (H)He who is bowed down shall speedily be released;
he shall not die and go down (I)to the pit,
neither shall his bread be lacking.
15 I am the Lord your God,
(J)who stirs up the sea so that its waves roar—
the Lord of hosts is his name.
16 (K)And I have put my words in your mouth
(L)and covered you in the shadow of my hand,
(M)establishing[a] the heavens
and (N)laying the foundations of the earth,
and saying to Zion, ‘You are my people.’”

Lexham English Bible
12 “I, I am he who comforts you;
who are you that[a] you are afraid of man? He dies!
And of the son of humankind? He is sacrificed[b] as grass!
13 And you have forgotten Yahweh, your maker,
who stretched out the heavens,
and founded the earth.
And you tremble continually, all day,
because of the wrath of the oppressor
when he takes aim[c] to destroy.
But[d] where is the wrath of the oppressor?
14 The fettered one shall make haste to be freed.
And he shall not die in[e] the pit,
and he shall not lack his bread.
15 For[f] I am Yahweh, your God,
who stirs up[g] the sea, so that[h] its waves roar;
Yahweh of hosts is his name.
16 And I have put my words in your mouth,
and I have covered you in the shadow of my hand,
to plant the heavens
and to found the earth,
saying to Zion, ‘You are my people.’”
