51 “Listen to me, pursuers of righteousness,
seekers of Yahweh:
Look to the rock from which you were chiseled
and to the mouth of the cistern from which you were quarried.
2 Look to Abraham, your father,
and to Sarah, who bore you;
for I called him as one,
and I blessed him and made him many.
3 For, Yahweh will comfort Zion;
he will comfort all her desolate places
and her wilderness make like Eden,
and her desert plains like the garden of Yahweh;
joy and gladness will be found in her, thanksgiving, and the sound of song.
4 “Listen closely to me, my people;
and my nation, to me give ear!
For from me law will go out,
and my justice as a light of the nations I shall make in an instant.
5 My righteousness is near;
my salvation will go out,
and my arm will judge the nations;
for me the coastlands will wait,
and my arm they will anticipate.
6 Lift up your eyes to the sky,
and look to the earth beneath,
for the heavens will vanish like smoke,
and the earth will wear out like a garment, and its inhabitants will die like flies.
But my salvation will be forever,
and my righteousness will not be dismayed.
7 “Listen to me, those who know righteousness,
people with my law in their heart:
Do not fear the insults of men,
and by their abuse do not be dismayed,
8 for the moth will devour them like a garment,
and the worm will devour them like wool;
but my righteousness will be forever,
and my salvation to generation after generation.”
9 Awake, awake, put on strength,
arm of Yahweh.
Awake as in the days of old,
the generations of ancient times.
Is it not you who crushed Rahab,
who pierced the sea monster?
10 Was it not you who dried up the sea,
the waters of the great deep,
who made the depths of the sea into a way
for the redeemed to pass through?
11 And the ransomed of Yahweh will return
and come to Zion with cries of joy
and with gladness forever on their heads.
Gladness and joy will overtake them;
sorrow and mourning will flee.
12 “I, I, am he who comforts you.
Who are you that you are afraid of men—he will die—
and of the sons of mankind, who are given up as grass?
13 And you forget Yahweh your Maker,
who stretched out the heavens and founded the earth.
And you constantly fear, the whole day
from the face of the wrath of the oppressor as he intends to destroy.
But where is the wrath of the oppressor?
14 He who crouches will hurry to be freed,
and he will not die to the pit,
and he will not lack his bread.
15 And I am Yahweh your God,
who stirs the sea and its waves roar,
Yahweh of hosts is his name.
16 And I have placed my words in your mouth,
and in the shadow of my hand I have covered you,
stretching out the heavens and founding the earth
and saying to Zion, ‘You are my people.’”
17 Awake, awake!
Rise up, Jerusalem,
who drank from the hand of Yahweh the cup of his wrath;
you drank the goblet of staggering, you drained it
18 There is no guide for her
among all the sons she bore;
and there is none to hold her hand
among all the sons she raised.
19 These two happened to you—who will grieve for you?—
desolation and destruction, and the famine and the sword. Who will comfort you?[fn]
20 Your sons have fainted;
they lie at the head of all the streets,
like an antelope in a net,
filled with the anger of Yahweh,
the rebuke of your God.
21 But now hear this, oppressed one
and drunken one, but not with wine:
22 Thus says your Lord Yahweh,
and your God, contending for his people,
“Behold, I have taken from your hand
the cup of staggering,
the goblet of my wrath.
You will not continue to drink it again.
23 And I will put it into the hand of your tormentors,
who said to you, ‘Lie down, that we may walk over you,’
and you made your back like the ground
and like the street for walking over.”
Some ancient manuscripts have How will I comfort you? Most modern versions correct this passage to Who will comfort you?
