Isaiah 51:2-4
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
Isaiah 51:2-4
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
2 Look to Abraham, your father,
and to Sarah, who gave you birth;
Though he was but one when I called him,
I blessed him and made him many.(A)
3 Yes, the Lord shall comfort Zion,
shall comfort all her ruins;
Her wilderness he shall make like Eden,
her wasteland like the garden of the Lord;
Joy and gladness shall be found in her,
thanksgiving and the sound of song.
4 Be attentive to me, my people;[a]
my nation, give ear to me.
For teaching shall go forth from me,
and my judgment, as light to the peoples.(B)
