Isaiah 51:7-13

Thomson(i) 7 Hearken to me, ye who know judgment; ye people, in whose heart is my law. Fear not the reproach of men, nor be overcome by their contempt. 8 For they are like a garment which shall be worn out by time, and like woollens which shall be devoured by a moth; but my saving mercy shall endure forever, and my salvation to generations of generations. 9 Awake, awake, Jerusalem! and clothe thyself with the strength of thine arm. Awake as at the beginning of day. 10 Art thou not as the generation of old, which dried up the sea; the swelling water of the deep? Which made the depths of the sea a road for the delivered and redeemed to pass? 11 For under the guidance of the Lord they shall be brought back, and shall come to Sion with joy and everlasting gladness; for praise shall crown their head and joy shall overtake them. Grief and sorrow and sighing are fled. 12 I THE I AM am he who comforteth thee. Recollect what thou wast when terrified at a mortal man, and at a son of man who are withered like grass; 13 and forgot test the God who made thee; him who made the heaven and founded the earth; and wast every day in continual dread of the furious countenance of thine oppressor. For how did he consult to carry thee away! But where now is the fury of thine oppressor?
