Isaiah 51:11-13

International Children’s Bible

¹¹The people the Lord has freed will return.
    They will enter Jerusalem with joy.
    Their happiness will last forever.
They will have joy and gladness.
    All sadness and sorrow will be gone far away.

¹²The Lord says, “I am the one who comforts you.
    So why should you be afraid of people, who die?
    Why should you fear people who die like the grass?
¹³Have you forgotten that the Lord made you?
    He stretched out the skies.
    He made the earth.
Why are you always afraid
    of those angry people who trouble you?
    They want to destroy.
But where are those angry people now?
