Isa 51:12-16 | ESV | STEP | I, I am he who comforts you; who are you that you are afraid of man who dies , of the son of man who is made like grass ,

Isaiah 51:12-16

12 “I, I am he ^awho comforts you;
who are you that you are afraid of ^bman who dies,
of the son of man who is made ^clike grass,
13 and have forgotten the Lord, your Maker,
^dwho stretched out the heavens
and ^elaid the foundations of the earth,
and you fear continually all the day
because of the wrath of ^fthe oppressor,
when he sets himself to destroy?
And where is the wrath of ^gthe oppressor?
14 ^hHe who is bowed down shall speedily be released;
he shall not die and go down ⁱto the pit,
neither shall his bread be lacking.
15 I am the Lord your God,
^jwho stirs up the sea so that its waves roar—
the Lord of hosts is his name.
16 ^kAnd I have put my words in your mouth
^land covered you in the shadow of my hand,
^mestablishing ^{▼▼Or planting} the heavens
and ^olaying the foundations of the earth,
and saying to Zion, ‘You are my people.’”
