Isaiah 51:12-16
New Living Translation
12 “I, yes I, am the one who comforts you.
So why are you afraid of mere humans,
who wither like the grass and disappear?
13 Yet you have forgotten the Lord, your Creator,
the one who stretched out the sky like a canopy
and laid the foundations of the earth.
Will you remain in constant dread of human oppressors?
Will you continue to fear the anger of your enemies?
Where is their fury and anger now?
It is gone!
14 Soon all you captives will be released!
Imprisonment, starvation, and death will not be your fate!
15 For I am the Lord your God,
who stirs up the sea, causing its waves to roar.
My name is the Lord of Heaven’s Armies.
16 And I have put my words in your mouth
and hidden you safely in my hand.
I stretched out[a] the sky like a canopy
and laid the foundations of the earth.
I am the one who says to Israel,
‘You are my people!’”
Isaiah 51:12-16
Legacy Standard Bible
12 “I, even I, am He who (A)comforts you.
Who are you that you are afraid of (B)man who dies
And of the son of man who is made (C)like grass,
13 That you have (D)forgotten Yahweh your Maker,
Who (E)stretched out the heavens
And laid the foundations of the earth,
That you (F)tremble in dread continually all day long because of the wrath of the one who brings distress,
As he makes ready to bring ruin?
But where is the wrath of the (G)one who brings distress?
14 The (H)one in chains will soon be set free and will not die in the pit, (I)nor will his bread be lacking. 15 For I am Yahweh your God, who (J)stirs up the sea, and its waves roar—Yahweh of hosts is His name. 16 I have (K)put My words in your mouth and have (L)covered you with the shadow of My hand, to [a](M)establish the heavens, to found the earth, and to say to Zion, ‘You are My people.’”
