Isaiah 51:4-6

4 ^a“Give attention to me, my people,
and give ear to me, my nation;
^bfor a law ^{▼▼Or for teaching; also verse 7} will go out from me,
and I will set my justice for a light to the peoples.
5 ^dMy righteousness draws near,
my salvation has gone out,
and my arms will judge the peoples;
^ethe coastlands hope for me,
and for my arm they wait.
6 ^fLift up your eyes to the heavens,
and look at the earth beneath;
^gfor the heavens vanish like smoke,
the earth will wear out like a garment,
and they who dwell in it will die in like manner; ^{▼▼Or will die like gnats}
ⁱbut my salvation will be forever,
and my righteousness will never be dismayed.
