Isaiah 51:2-4

New American Standard Bible 1995

²“Look to ^(A)Abraham your father
And to Sarah who gave birth to you in pain;
When he ^(B)was but one I called him,
Then I blessed him and multiplied him.”
³Indeed, ^(C)the Lord will comfort Zion;
He will comfort all her ^(D)waste places.
And her ^(E)wilderness He will make like ^(F)Eden,
And her desert like the ^(G)garden of the Lord;
^(H)Joy and gladness will be found in her,
Thanksgiving and sound of a melody.

⁴“^(I)Pay attention to Me, O My people,
And give ear to Me, O My ^[a]nation;
For a ^(J)law will go forth from Me,
And I will ^[b]set My ^(K)justice for a ^(L)light of the peoples.
