Isaiah 51:1
|
|
Hearken to me, ye that follow after righteousness,
ye that seek Jehovah: look unto the rock whence ye were hewn, and to the hold
of the pit whence ye were digged. |
|
|
|
|
| Isaiah 51:2 |
|
Look unto Abraham your father, and unto Sarah
that bare you; for when he was but one I called him, and I blessed him, and made
him many. |
| |
|
|
| Isaiah 51:3 |
|
For Jehovah hath comforted Zion; he hath comforted
all her waste places, and hath made her wilderness like Eden, and her desert like
the garden of Jehovah; joy and gladness shall be found therein, thanksgiving,
and the voice of melody. |
| |
|
|
| Isaiah 51:4 |
|
Attend unto me, O my people; and give ear unto
me, O my nation: for a law shall go forth from me, and I will establish my justice
for a light of the peoples. |
| |
|
|
| Isaiah 51:5 |
|
My righteousness is near, my salvation is gone
forth, and mine arms shall judge the peoples; the isles shall wait for me, and
on mine arm shall they trust. |
| |
|
|
| Isaiah 51:6 |
|
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.
|
| |
|
|
| Isaiah 51:7 |
|
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 dismayed at their revilings. |
|
|
|
| Isaiah 51:8 |
|
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 unto all generations. |
|
|
|
| Isaiah 51:9 |
|
Awake, awake, put on strength, O arm of Jehovah;
awake, as in the days of old, the generations of ancient times. Is it not thou
that didst cut Rahab in pieces, that didst pierce the monster? |
|
|
|
| Isaiah 51:10 |
|
Is it not thou that driedst up the sea, the
waters of the great deep; that madest the depths of the sea a way for the redeemed
to pass over? |
|
|
|
| Isaiah 51:11 |
|
And the ransomed of Jehovah shall return, and
come with singing unto Zion; and everlasting joy shall be upon their heads: they
shall obtain gladness and joy; and sorrow and sighing shall flee away. |
|
|
|
| Isaiah 51:12 |
|
I, even I, am he that comforteth you: who art
thou, that thou art afraid of man that shall die, and of the son of man that shall
be made as grass; |
|
|
|
| Isaiah 51:13 |
|
and hast forgotten Jehovah thy Maker, that stretched
forth the heavens, and laid the foundations of the earth; and fearest continually
all the day because of the fury of the oppressor, when he maketh ready to destroy?
and where is the fury of the oppressor? |
|
|
|
| Isaiah 51:14 |
|
The captive exile shall speedily be loosed;
and he shall not die and go down into the pit, neither shall his bread fail. |
|
|
|
| Isaiah 51:15 |
|
For I am Jehovah thy God, who stirreth up the
sea, so that the waves thereof roar: Jehovah of hosts is his name. |
|
|
|
| Isaiah 51:16 |
|
And I have put my words in thy mouth, and have
covered thee in the shadow of my hand, that I may plant the heavens, and lay the
foundations of the earth, and say unto Zion, Thou art my people. |
|
|
|
| Isaiah 51:17 |
|
Awake, awake, stand up, O Jerusalem, that hast
drunk at the hand of Jehovah the cup of his wrath; thou hast drunken the bowl
of the cup of staggering, and drained it. |
|
|
|
| Isaiah 51:18 |
|
There is none to guide her among all the sons
whom she hath brought forth; neither is there any that taketh her by the hand
among all the sons that she hath brought up. |
|
|
|
| Isaiah 51:19 |
|
These two things are befallen thee, who shall
bemoan thee? desolation and destruction, and the famine and the sword; how shall
I comfort thee? |
| |
|
|
| Isaiah 51:20 |
|
Thy sons have fainted, they lie at the head
of all the streets, as an antelope in a net; they are full of the wrath of Jehovah,
the rebuke of thy God. |
| |
|
|
| Isaiah 51:21 |
|
Therefore hear now this, thou afflicted, and
drunken, but now with wine: |
|
|
|
|
| Isaiah 51:22 |
|
Thus saith thy Lord Jehovah, and thy God that
pleadeth the cause of his people, Behold, I have taken out of thy hand the cup
of staggering, even the bowl of the cup of my wrath; thou shalt no more drink
it again: |
|
|
|
|
| Isaiah 51:23 |
|
and I will put it into the hand of them that
afflict thee, that have said to thy soul, Bow down, that we may go over; and thou
hast laid thy back as the ground, and as the street, to them that go over. |
