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.
51:2 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.
51:3 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.
51:4 "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.
51:5 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.
51:6 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.
51:7 "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.
51:8 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."
51:9 Awake,
awake,
put
on
strength,
O
arm
of
the
LORD;
awake,
as
in
days
of
old,
the
generations
of
long
ago.
Was
it
not
you
who
cut
Rahab
in
pieces,
who
pierced
the
dragon
51:10 Was
it
not
you
who
dried
up
the
sea,
the
waters
of
the
great
deep,
who
made
the
depths
of
the
sea
a
way
for
the
redeemed
to
pass
over
51:11 And
the
ransomed
of
the
LORD
shall
return
and
come
to
Zion
with
singing;
everlasting
joy
shall
be
upon
their
heads;
they
shall
obtain
gladness
and
joy,
and
sorrow
and
sighing
shall
flee
away.
51:12 "I,
I
am
he
who
comforts
you;
who
are
you
that
you
are
afraid
of
man
who
dies,
of
the
son
of
man
who
is
made
like
grass,
51:13 and
have
forgotten
the
LORD,
your
Maker,
who
stretched
out
the
heavens
and
laid
the
foundations
of
the
earth,
and
you
fear
continually
all
the
day
because
of
the
wrath
of
the
oppressor,
when
he
sets
himself
to
destroy
And
where
is
the
wrath
of
the
oppressor
51:14 He
who
is
bowed
down
shall
speedily
be
released;
he
shall
not
die
and
go
down
to
the
pit,
neither
shall
his
bread
be
lacking.
51:15 I
am
the
LORD
your
God,
who
stirs
up
the
sea
so
that
its
waves
roar--
the
LORD
of
hosts
is
his
name.
51:16 And
I
have
put
my
words
in
your
mouth
and
covered
you
in
the
shadow
of
my
hand,
establishing
the
heavens
and
laying
the
foundations
of
the
earth,
and
saying
to
Zion,
'You
are
my
people.'"
51:17 Wake
yourself,
wake
yourself,
stand
up,
O
Jerusalem,
you
who
have
drunk
from
the
hand
of
the
LORD
the
cup
of
his
wrath,
who
have
drunk
to
the
dregs
the
bowl,
the
cup
of
staggering.
51:18 There
is
none
to
guide
her
among
all
the
sons
she
has
borne;
there
is
none
to
take
her
by
the
hand
among
all
the
sons
she
has
brought
up.
51:19 These
two
things
have
happened
to
you--
who
will
console
you--
devastation
and
destruction,
famine
and
sword;
who
will
comfort
you
51:20 Your
sons
have
fainted;
they
lie
at
the
head
of
every
street
like
an
antelope
in
a
net;
they
are
full
of
the
wrath
of
the
LORD,
the
rebuke
of
your
God.
51:21 Therefore
hear
this,
you
who
are
afflicted,
who
are
drunk,
but
not
with
wine:
51:22 Thus
says
your
Lord,
the
LORD,
your
God
who
pleads
the
cause
of
his
people:
"Behold,
I
have
taken
from
your
hand
the
cup
of
staggering;
the
bowl
of
my
wrath
you
shall
drink
no
more;
51:23 and
I
will
put
it
into
the
hand
of
your
tormentors,
who
have
said
to
you,
'Bow
down,
that
we
may
pass
over';
and
you
have
made
your
back
like
the
ground
and
like
the
street
for
them
to
pass
over."
