Isaiah 51:11-12

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

¹¹So the ransomed of the Lord shall return
    and come to Zion with rejoicing;
everlasting joy shall be upon their heads;
    they shall obtain joy and gladness,
    and sorrow and sighing shall flee away.^(A)

¹²I, I am he who comforts you;
why then are you afraid of a mere mortal who must die,
a human being who fades like grass?^(B)
