Isaiah 51:4-6
Contemporary English Version
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.
5 Those who live across the sea
are eagerly waiting
for me to rescue them.
I am strong and ready;
soon I will come to save
and to rule all nations.
6 Look closely at the sky!
Stare at the earth.
The sky will vanish like smoke;
the earth will wear out
like clothes.
Everyone on this earth
will die like flies.
But my victory will last;
my saving power never ends.
Isaiah 51:4-6
New International Version
4 “Listen to me, my people;(A)
hear me,(B) my nation:
Instruction(C) will go out from me;
my justice(D) will become a light to the nations.(E)
5 My righteousness draws near speedily,
my salvation(F) is on the way,(G)
and my arm(H) will bring justice to the nations.
The islands(I) will look to me
and wait in hope(J) for my arm.
6 Lift up your eyes to the heavens,
look at the earth beneath;
the heavens will vanish like smoke,(K)
the earth will wear out like a garment(L)
and its inhabitants die like flies.
But my salvation(M) will last forever,(N)
my righteousness will never fail.(O)
