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 wait for 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 ^[d]wane.
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.”
