Isaiah 51:4-8
New International Version
4 “Listen to me, my people;(A)
hear me,(B) my nation:
Instruction(C) will go out from me;
my justice(D) will become a light to the nations.(E)
5 My righteousness draws near speedily,
my salvation(F) is on the way,(G)
and my arm(H) will bring justice to the nations.
The islands(I) will look to me
and wait in hope(J) for my arm.
6 Lift up your eyes to the heavens,
look at the earth beneath;
the heavens will vanish like smoke,(K)
the earth will wear out like a garment(L)
and its inhabitants die like flies.
But my salvation(M) will last forever,(N)
my righteousness will never fail.(O)
7 “Hear me, you who know what is right,(P)
you people who have taken my instruction to heart:(Q)
Do not fear the reproach of mere mortals
or be terrified by their insults.(R)
8 For the moth will eat them up like a garment;(S)
the worm(T) will devour them like wool.
But my righteousness will last forever,(U)
my salvation through 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.
