(A)Pay attention to Me, My people,
And listen to Me, My [a]nation;
For a (B)law will go out from Me,
And I will bring My (C)justice as a (D)light of the peoples.
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 they will wait expectantly for My (H)arm.
(I)Raise 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 [b]in the same way.
But My (L)salvation will be forever,
And My righteousness will not fail.
(M)Listen to Me, you who know righteousness,
A people in whose (N)heart is My Law;
Do not fear the (O)taunting of [c]people,
Nor be terrified of their abuses.
For the (P)moth will eat them like a garment;
Yes, the (Q)moth will eat them like wool.
But My (R)righteousness will be forever,
And My salvation to all generations.”

  3. Isaiah 51:7 Or mankind

Listen to me, my people,
    and give heed to me, my nation,
for a teaching will go out from me
    and my justice for a light to the peoples.(A)
I will bring near my deliverance swiftly;
    my salvation has gone out,
    and my arms will rule the peoples;
the coastlands wait for me,
    and for my arm they hope.(B)
Lift up your eyes to the heavens
    and look at the earth beneath,
for the heavens will vanish like smoke,
    the earth will wear out like a garment,
    and those who live on it will die like gnats,[a]
but my salvation will be forever,
    and my deliverance will never be ended.(C)

Listen to me, you who know righteousness,
    you people who have my teaching in your hearts;
do not fear the reproach of others,
    and do not be dismayed when they revile you.(D)
For the moth will eat them up like a garment,
    and the worm will eat them like wool,
but my deliverance will be forever
    and my salvation to all generations.(E)
