Isaiah 51:4-8
International Standard Version
4 “Pay attention to me, my people!
Listen to me, my nation!
For instruction[a] will go out from me,
and my justice will become a light for the nations.[b]
I will quickly bring 5 my deliverance near;
my salvation is on the way.
His arm[c] will bring justice to[d] the nations;[e]
the coastlands will hope for him,[f]
and they will wait for his arm.[g]
6 “Lift up your eyes, you[h] heavens
and look to the earth beneath;
and see who created these.[i]
Its inhabitants will die just like this;[j]
but my salvation will be forever,
and my deliverance will never fail.
7 Listen to me, you who know righteousness,
you people who have my instruction[k] in their hearts.
Don’t fear the insults of mortals,
and don’t be dismayed at their hateful words.[l]
8 For moths will eat them up just like a garment,
and worms will devour them like wool;
but my deliverance will last[m] forever,
and my salvation to all generations.

Lexham English Bible
4 “Listen attentively to me, my people,
and my nation, listen to me!
For a teaching will go out from me,
and I will cause my justice to rest for a light to the peoples.
5 My righteousness is near; my salvation has gone out,
and my arms will judge the peoples.
The coastlands wait for me,
and for my arm they wait.
6 Lift up your eyes to the heavens
and look to the earth beneath,
for the heavens will be torn to pieces like smoke,
and the earth will be worn out like a garment,
and those who inhabit her will die like gnats.
But[a] my salvation will be forever,
and my righteousness will not be broken to pieces.
7 Listen to me, you who know righteousness,
people who have my teaching in their heart;
you must not fear the reproach of men,
or be terrified because of their abuse.
8 For a moth will eat them like garments;
a moth will devour[b] them like wool,
but[c] my righteousness will be forever,
and my salvation for generation after generation.[d]”
