Isaiah 34:16-17
International Standard Version
The Certainty of God’s Deliverance
16 “Study and read from the book of the Lord:
And not one[a] will be missing,
each will not long for its mate.[b]
For it is the mouth of the Lord that has issued the order,
and it is his Spirit that has gathered them.
17 It is he who has allotted their portions,[c]
and his hand has divided it for them with a measuring line forever.[d]
They will possess it forever;[e]
from generation to generation they will live in it.”[f]
