Isaiah 51:11-13

Easy-to-Read Version

¹¹The Lord will save his people.
    They will return to Zion with joy.
They will be very happy.
    Their happiness will be like a crown on their heads forever.
They will be singing with joy.
    All sadness will be gone far away.

¹²The Lord says, “I am the one who comforts you.
So why should you be afraid of people?
They are only humans who live and die like the grass.

¹³“I, the Lord, am the one who made you.
    With my power I made the earth
    and spread the sky over the earth.
But you have forgotten me,
    so you are always afraid that angry men will hurt you.
Those men planned to destroy you,
    but where are they now?
