Isaiah 51:1-2
New Catholic Bible
Chapter 51
Exhortation To Trust in the Lord[a]
1 Listen to me, you who pursue justice,
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 gave birth to you.
When I called him, he was but one,
but I blessed him and made him many.
Footnotes
- Isaiah 51:1 Forgetting henceforth Cyrus and his victories and passing over the destruction of Babylon, the prophet focuses his attention on a restored Jerusalem and on the new era of justice and of God’s favor.
