Isaiah 51:4-8
New King James Version
4 “Listen to Me, My people;
And give ear to Me, O My nation:
(A)For law will proceed from Me,
And I will make My justice rest
(B)As a light of the peoples.
5 (C)My righteousness is near,
My salvation has gone forth,
(D)And My arms will judge the peoples;
(E)The coastlands will wait upon Me,
And (F)on My arm they will trust.
6 (G)Lift up your eyes to the heavens,
And look on the earth beneath.
For (H)the heavens will vanish away like smoke,
(I)The earth will grow old like a garment,
And those who dwell in it will die in like manner;
But My salvation will be (J)forever,
And My righteousness will not be [a]abolished.
7 “Listen to Me, you who know righteousness,
You people (K)in whose heart is My law:
(L)Do not fear the reproach of men,
Nor be afraid of their insults.
8 For (M)the moth will eat them up like a garment,
And the worm will eat them like wool;
But My righteousness will be forever,
And My salvation from generation to generation.”

Isaiah 51:4-8
21st Century King James Version
4 “Hearken unto Me, My people, and give ear unto Me, O My nation; for a law shall proceed from Me, and I will make My judgment to rest as a light of the people.
5 My righteousness is near; My salvation is gone forth, and Mine arms shall judge the people. The isles shall wait upon Me, and on Mine arm shall they trust.
6 Lift up your eyes to the heavens, and look upon the earth beneath; for the heavens shall vanish away like smoke, and the earth shall wax old like a garment, and they that dwell therein shall die in like manner. But My salvation shall be for ever, 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 revilings.
8 For the moth shall eat them up like a garment, and the worm shall eat them like wool; but My righteousness shall be for ever, and My salvation from generation to generation.”
