Isaiah 51:4-8
Legacy Standard Bible
4 “(A)Pay attention to Me, O My people,
And give ear to Me, O My [a]nation;
For a (B)law will go forth from Me,
And I will [b]set My (C)justice for a (D)light of the peoples.
5 My (E)righteousness is near, My salvation has gone forth,
And My (F)arms will judge the peoples;
The (G)coastlands will hope in Me,
And for My (H)arm they will wait expectantly.
6 (I)Lift up your eyes to the sky,
Then look to the earth beneath;
For the (J)sky will vanish like smoke,
And the (K)earth will wear out like a garment,
And its inhabitants will die [c]in like manner;
But My (L)salvation will be forever,
And My righteousness will not be dismayed.
7 (M)Listen to Me, you who know righteousness,
A people in whose (N)heart is My law;
Do not fear the (O)reproach of man,
Nor be dismayed at their revilings.
8 For the (P)moth will eat them like a garment,
And the (Q)grub will eat them like wool.
But My (R)righteousness will be forever,
And My salvation to all generations.”

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.
