    The Lord’s Comfort for Zion

    51:1   “Listen to me, you who pursue righteousness,
        you who seek the LORD:
      look to the rock from which you were hewn,
        and to the quarry from which you were dug.
    2   Look to Abraham your father
        and to Sarah who bore you;
      for he was but one when I called him,
        that I might bless him and multiply him.
    3   For the LORD comforts Zion;
        he comforts all her waste places
      and makes her wilderness like Eden,
        her desert like the garden of the LORD;
      joy and gladness will be found in her,
        thanksgiving and the voice of song.
    4   “Give attention to me, my people,
        and give ear to me, my nation;
      for a law will go out from me,
        and I will set my justice for a light to the peoples.
    5   My righteousness draws near,
        my salvation has gone out,
        and my arms will judge the peoples;
      the coastlands hope for me,
        and for my arm they wait.
    6   Lift up your eyes to the heavens,
        and look at the earth beneath;
      for the heavens vanish like smoke,
        the earth will wear out like a garment,
        and they who dwell in it will die in like manner;
      but my salvation will be forever,
        and my righteousness will never be dismayed.
    7   “Listen to me, you who know righteousness,
        the people in whose heart is my law;
      fear not the reproach of man,
        nor be dismayed at their revilings.
    8   For 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 to all generations.”
