◄ ISA 51 ► ║ ═ ©

51 “Listen to me, pursuers of righteousness,

seekers of Yahweh.

Look to the rock from which you were hewn

and to the hole of the pit from which you were dug.

2 Look to Abraham your father

and to Sarah, she bore you;

for I called him, one,

and I blessed him and made him many.”

3 For Yahweh will comfort Zion;

he will comfort all of her desolations,

and he will make her wilderness like Eden

and her desert plain like the garden of Yahweh.

Joy and gladness will be found in her,

thanksgiving and the voice of song.

4 “Attend to me, my people,

and listen to me, my nation,

for law will go out from me,

and I will make my justice rest for a light of the peoples.

5 My righteousness is near;

my salvation will go out,

and my arms will judge the peoples.

The coastlands will wait for me,

and they will wait for my arm.

6 Lift up your eyes to the heavens

and look to the earth beneath,

for the heavens will be dissipated like smoke,

and the earth will wear out like a garment,

and its dwellers will die like thus.

But my salvation will be forever,

and my righteousness will not be dismayed.

7 Listen to me, knowers of righteousness,

people with my law in their heart.

May you not fear the reproach of man,

and may you not be dismayed by their revilings.

8 For the moth will devour them like a garment,

and the grub will devour them like wool;

but my righteousness will be forever,

and my salvation to the generation of generations.”

9 Awake, awake, put on strength,

arm of Yahweh!

Awake as in the days of antiquity,

the generations of eternities.

Was it not you, the one having hewn Rahab in pieces,

the one having pierced the sea monster?

10 Was it not you, the one having dried up the sea,

the waters of the great deep,

he who made the depths of the sea

a way for the redeemed to pass through?

11 And the ransomed of Yahweh will return

and come to Zion with singing,

and joy of eternity will be on their heads.

Gladness and joy will overtake them;

sorrow and sighing will flee.

12 “I, I am he, the one comforting you.

Who are you, that you should be afraid of man—he will die—

and of the son of man—he is given up like grass—

13 that you should forget Yahweh your maker,

the one having stretched out the heavens and having founded the earth;

that you should fear continually, all of the day,

from the face of the heat of the oppressor

as he prepares to destroy?

But where is the heat of the oppressor?

14 The stooping one hastens to be opened,

and he will not die in the pit,

and he will not lack his bread.

15 And I am Yahweh your God,

the one making the sea rest when its waves roar—

Yahweh of Armies is his name.

16 And I have put my words in your mouth,

and I have covered you with the shadow of my hand,

to plant the heavens and to found the earth

and to say to Zion, ‘You are my people.’ ”

17 Awaken yourself! Awaken yourself!

Arise, Jerusalem,

you who drank from the hand of Yahweh the cup of his heat;

you drank the goblet of the cup of staggering, you drained it.

18 There is no one guiding her

from all of the sons she bore,

and there is no one holding her hand

from all of the sons she raised.

19 These two are meeting you—

who will sympathize with you?—

destruction and breaking,

and famine and the sword;

who will comfort you?

20 Your sons are enwrapped;

they lie at the head of all of the streets

like an antelope in a net,

being full of the heat of Yahweh,

the rebuke of your God.

21 Therefore hear this, please,

poor and drunken, but not from wine.

22 Thus says your Lord Yahweh,

and your God, he contends for his people:

“Behold, I have taken from your hand

the cup of staggering,

the goblet of the cup of my heat;

you will not add to drink it again.

23 And I will put it in the hand of the ones grieving you,

who said to your soul, ‘Lie prostrate, that we may pass over.’

And you made your back like the earth,

and like the street, for the ones passing over.”
