Isaiah 51:4-8
1599 Geneva Bible
4 Hearken ye unto me my people, and give ear unto me, O my people: for a [a]Law shall proceed from me, and I will bring forth my judgment for the light of the people.
5 My [b]righteousness is near: my salvation goeth forth, and mine [c]arm shall judge the people: the isles shall wait for me, and shall trust unto mine arm.
6 Lift up your eyes to the heavens, and look upon the earth beneath: for the [d]heavens shall vanish away like smoke, and the earth shall wax old like a garment, and they that dwell therein, shall perish in like manner: but my salvation shall be forever, and my righteousness shall not be abolished.
7 Hearken unto me ye that know righteousness, the people in whose heart is my Law. Fear ye not the reproach of men, neither be ye afraid of their rebukes.
8 For the moth shall eat them up like a garment, and the worm shall eat them like wood: but my righteousness shall be forever, and my salvation from generation to generation.
