Isaiah 51:6-8
6 zLift up your eyes to the heavens,and look at the earth beneath;
aafor 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
acbut my salvation will be forever,
and my righteousness will never be dismayed.
7 ad“Listen to me, you who know righteousness,
the people aein whose heart is my law;
affear not the reproach of man,
nor be dismayed at their revilings.
8 agFor the moth will eat them up like a garment,
and the worm will eat them like wool,
ahbut my righteousness will be forever,
and my salvation to all generations.”
