Isaiah 51:12-16

View Full Chapter

12“I, even I, am he who comforts you. Who are you that you fear mere mortals, human beings who are but grass,

13that you forget the LORD your Maker, who stretches out the heavens and who lays the foundations of the earth, that you live in constant terror every day because of the wrath of the oppressor, who is bent on destruction? For where is the wrath of the oppressor?

14The cowering prisoners will soon be set free; they will not die in their dungeon, nor will they lack bread.

15For I am the LORD your God, who stirs up the sea so that its waves roar— the LORD Almighty is his name.

16I have put my words in your mouth and covered you with the shadow of my hand— I who set the heavens in place, who laid the foundations of the earth, and who say to Zion, ‘You are my people.’ ”
