Isaiah 51:12-14

Common English Bible

¹² I, I am the one who comforts you.
Why should you fear humans who will die,
    mortals who are treated like grass?
¹³ You forgot the Lord your maker,
    the one who stretched out the heavens
    and founded the earth.
    You were continually afraid, all day long,
    on account of the oppressor’s wrath—
    a fear by which they intend to destroy you.
    Where now is the oppressor’s wrath?
¹⁴ The imprisoned ones will soon be released;
    they won’t die in the pit
    or even lack bread.
