Isaiah 51:12-14

New International Reader's Version

¹² The Lord says to his people,
    “I comfort you because of who I am.
Why are you afraid of mere human beings?
    They are like grass that dries up.
¹³ How can you forget me? I made you.
    I stretch out the heavens.
    I lay the foundations of the earth.
Why are you terrified every day?
    Is it because those who are angry with you are crushing you?
    Is it because they are trying to destroy you?
Their anger can’t harm you anymore.
¹⁴     You prisoners who are so afraid will soon be set free.
You will not die in your prison cells.
    You will not go without food.
