10 “Who among you fears the Lord?
Who obeys the voice of His Servant?
Who (A)walks in darkness
And has no light?
(B)Let him trust in the name of the Lord
And rely upon his God.
11 Look, all you who kindle a fire,
Who encircle yourselves with sparks:
Walk in the light of your fire and in the sparks you have kindled—
(C)This you shall have from My hand:
You shall lie down (D)in torment.

The Lord Comforts Zion(E)

51 “Listen to Me, (F)you who [a]follow after righteousness,
You who seek the Lord:
Look to the rock from which you were hewn,
And to the hole of the pit from which you were dug.
(G)Look to Abraham your father,
And to Sarah who bore you;
(H)For I called him alone,
And (I)blessed him and increased him.”

For the Lord will (J)comfort Zion,
He will comfort all her waste places;
He will make her wilderness like Eden,
And her desert (K)like the garden of the Lord;
Joy and gladness will be found in it,
Thanksgiving and the voice of melody.

  1. Isaiah 51:1 pursue

10 Who among you fears(A) the Lord
    and obeys(B) the word of his servant?(C)
Let the one who walks in the dark,
    who has no light,(D)
trust(E) in the name of the Lord
    and rely on their God.
11 But now, all you who light fires
    and provide yourselves with flaming torches,(F)
go, walk in the light of your fires(G)
    and of the torches you have set ablaze.
This is what you shall receive from my hand:(H)
    You will lie down in torment.(I)

Everlasting Salvation for Zion

51 “Listen(J) to me, you who pursue righteousness(K)
    and who seek(L) the Lord:
Look to the rock(M) from which you were cut
    and to the quarry from which you were hewn;
look to Abraham,(N) your father,
    and to Sarah, who gave you birth.
When I called him he was only one man,
    and I blessed him and made him many.(O)
The Lord will surely comfort(P) Zion(Q)
    and will look with compassion on all her ruins;(R)
he will make her deserts like Eden,(S)
    her wastelands(T) like the garden of the Lord.
Joy and gladness(U) will be found in her,
    thanksgiving(V) and the sound of singing.
