Isaiah 51:5-8
51:5 a God is strong enough to crush his enemies and rescue his people, such as when he rescued Israel in the Exodus (see 51:9 b; Exod 6:6 c; 15:16 d).51:6 e die like flies: The wicked will die in great multitudes on the day of God’s judgment.
51:7 f cherish my law in your hearts: Beyond simply knowing God’s word, the Lord desires for his people to internalize, treasure, and obey it (see also Ps 37:31 g; Jer 31:33 h).
• Those who obey the Lord often endure scorn and insults (see also Matt 5:10-12 i).
