ASV_Strong : Isaiah 51
1. Hearken[H8085] to me[H7291], ye that follow after righteousness[H6664], ye that seek[H1245] Jehovah[H3068]: look[H5027] unto the rock[H6697] whence ye were hewn[H2672], and to the hole[H4718] of the pit[H953] whence ye were digged[H5365].
2. Look[H5027] unto Abraham[H85] your father[H1], and unto Sarah[H8283] that bare[H2342] you[H259]; for when he was but one I called[H7121] him[H1288], and I blessed him[H7235], and made him many.
3. For Jehovah[H3068] hath comforted[H5162] Zion[H6726]; he hath comforted[H5162] all her waste places[H2723], and hath made[H7760] her wilderness[H4057] like Eden[H5731], and her desert[H6160] like the garden[H1588] of Jehovah[H3068]; joy[H8342] and gladness[H8057] shall be found[H4672] therein[H8426], thanksgiving, and the voice[H6963] of melody[H2172].
4. Attend[H7181] unto me[H5971], O my people; and give ear[H238] unto me[H3816], O my nation: for a law[H8451] shall go forth[H3318] from me[H7280], and I will establish my justice[H4941] for a light[H216] of the peoples[H5971].
5. My righteousness[H6664] is near[H7138], my salvation[H3468] is gone forth[H3318], and mine arms[H2220] shall judge[H8199] the peoples[H5971]; the isles[H339] shall wait[H6960] for me[H2220], and on mine arm shall they trust[H3176].
6. Lift up[H5375] your eyes[H5869] to the heavens[H8064], and look[H5027] upon the earth[H776] beneath[H8064]; for the heavens shall vanish away[H4414] like smoke[H6227], and the earth[H776] shall wax old[H1086] like a garment[H899]; and they that dwell[H3427] therein shall die[H4191] in like[H3644] manner[H3654]: but my salvation[H3444] shall be for ever[H5769], and my righteousness[H6666] shall not be abolished[H2865].
7. Hearken[H8085] unto me[H3045], ye that know righteousness[H6664], the people[H5971] in whose heart[H3820] is my law[H8451]; fear[H3372] ye not the reproach[H2781] of men[H582], neither be ye dismayed[H2865] at their revilings[H1421].
8. For the moth[H6211] shall eat them up[H398] like a garment[H899], and the worm[H5580] shall eat[H398] them like wool[H6785]; but my righteousness[H6666] shall be for ever[H5769], and my salvation[H3444] unto all generations[H1755].
9. Awake[H5782], awake[H5782], put on[H3847] strength[H5797], O arm[H2220] of Jehovah[H3068]; awake[H5782], as in the days[H3117] of old[H5769], the generations[H1755] of ancient[H6924] times[H2672]. Is it not thou that didst cut Rahab[H7294] in pieces[H2490], that didst pierce the monster[H8577]?
10. Is it not thou that driedst[H2717] up the sea[H3220], the waters[H4325] of the great[H7227] deep[H8415]; that madest[H7760] the depths[H4615] of the sea[H3220] a way[H1870] for the redeemed[H1350] to pass over[H5674]?
11. And the ransomed[H6299] of Jehovah[H3068] shall return[H7725], and come[H935] with singing[H7440] unto Zion[H6726]; and everlasting[H5769] joy[H8057] shall be upon their heads[H7218]: they shall obtain[H5381] gladness[H8342] and joy[H8057]; and sorrow[H3015] and sighing[H585] shall flee away[H5127].
12. I[H5162], even I, am he that comforteth you[H3372]: who art thou, that thou art afraid of man[H582] that shall die[H4191], and of the son[H1121] of man[H120] that shall be made[H5414] as grass[H2682];
13. and hast forgotten[H7911] Jehovah[H3068] thy Maker[H6213], that stretched forth[H5186] the heavens[H8064], and laid the foundations[H3245] of the earth[H776]; and fearest[H6342] continually[H8548] all the day[H3117] because[H6440] of the fury[H2534] of the oppressor[H6693], when[H834] he maketh ready[H3559] to destroy[H7843]? and where is the fury[H2534] of the oppressor[H6693]?
14. The captive exile[H6808] shall speedily[H4116] be loosed[H6605]; and he shall not die[H4191] and go down into the pit[H7845], neither shall his bread[H3899] fail[H2637].
15. For I am Jehovah[H3068] thy God[H430], who stirreth[H7280] up the sea[H3220], so that the waves[H1530] thereof roar[H1993]: Jehovah[H3068] of hosts[H6635] is his name[H8034].
16. And I have put[H7760] my words[H1697] in thy mouth[H6310], and have covered[H3680] thee in the shadow[H6738] of my hand[H3027], that I may plant[H5193] the heavens[H8064], and lay the foundations[H3245] of the earth[H776], and say[H559] unto Zion[H6726], Thou art my people[H5971].
17. Awake[H5782], awake[H5782], stand up[H6965], O Jerusalem[H3389], that hast drunk[H8354] at the hand[H3027] of Jehovah[H3068] the cup[H3563] of his wrath[H2534]; thou hast drunken[H8354] the bowl[H6907] of the cup[H3563] of staggering[H8653], and drained it[H4680].
18. There is none to guide[H5095] her among all the sons[H1121] whom she hath brought forth[H3205]; neither is there any that taketh[H2388] her by the hand[H3027] among all the sons[H1121] that she hath brought up[H1431].
19. These two[H8147] things are befallen[H7122] thee[H5110], who shall bemoan thee[H7701]? desolation and destruction[H7667], and the famine[H7458] and the sword[H2719]; how shall I comfort thee[H5162]?
20. Thy sons[H1121] have fainted[H5968], they lie[H7901] at the head[H7218] of all the streets[H2351], as an antelope[H8377] in a net[H4364]; they are full[H4392] of the wrath[H2534] of Jehovah[H3068], the rebuke[H1606] of thy God[H430].
21. Therefore hear[H8085] now this[H6041], thou afflicted, and drunken[H7937], but now with wine[H3196]:
22. Thus saith[H559] thy Lord[H113] Jehovah[H3068], and thy God[H430] that pleadeth[H7378] the cause of his people[H5971], Behold[H3947], I have taken out of thy hand[H3027] the cup[H3563] of staggering[H8653], even the bowl[H6907] of the cup[H3563] of my wrath[H2534]; thou shalt no more[H3254] drink it again[H8354]:
23. and I will put[H7760] it into the hand[H3027] of them that afflict[H3013] thee[H559], that have said to thy soul[H5315], Bow down[H7812], that we may go over[H5674]; and thou hast laid[H7760] thy back[H1460] as the ground[H776], and as the street[H2351], to them that go over[H5674].
