Isaiah 51:2-4
Contemporary English Version
2 God chose Abraham and Sarah
to be your ancestors.
The Lord blessed Abraham,
and from that one man
came many descendants.
3 Though Zion is in ruins,
the Lord will bring comfort,
and the city will be as lovely
as the garden of Eden
that he provided.
Then Zion will celebrate;
it will be thankful
and sing joyful songs.
The Lord's Victory Will Last
4 The Lord says:
You are my people and nation!
So pay attention to me.
My teaching will cause justice
to shine like a light
for every nation.
Isaiah 51:2-4
New International Version
2 look to Abraham,(A) your father,
and to Sarah, who gave you birth.
When I called him he was only one man,
and I blessed him and made him many.(B)
3 The Lord will surely comfort(C) Zion(D)
and will look with compassion on all her ruins;(E)
he will make her deserts like Eden,(F)
her wastelands(G) like the garden of the Lord.
Joy and gladness(H) will be found in her,
thanksgiving(I) and the sound of singing.
