Isaiah 51:12-16

Lexham English Bible

¹² “I, I am he who comforts you;
    who are you that^[a] you are afraid of man? He dies!
    And of the son of humankind? He is sacrificed^[b] as grass!
¹³ And you have forgotten Yahweh, your maker,
    who stretched out the heavens,
    and founded the earth.
And you tremble continually, all day,
    because of the wrath of the oppressor
    when he takes aim^[c] to destroy.
But^[d] where is the wrath of the oppressor?
¹⁴     The fettered one shall make haste to be freed.
And he shall not die in^[e] the pit,
    and he shall not lack his bread.
¹⁵ For^[f] I am Yahweh, your God,
    who stirs up^[g] the sea, so that^[h] its waves roar;
    Yahweh of hosts is his name.
¹⁶ And I have put my words in your mouth,
    and I have covered you in the shadow of my hand,
to plant the heavens
    and to found the earth,
        saying to Zion, ‘You are my people.’”
