Isaiah 51:5-7

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition

⁵ I will bring near my deliverance swiftly,
    my salvation has gone out
    and my arms will rule the peoples;
the coastlands wait for me,
    and for my arm they hope.
⁶ Lift up your eyes to the heavens,
    and look at the earth beneath;
for the heavens will vanish like smoke,
    the earth will wear out like a garment,
    and those who live on it will die like gnats;^[a]
but my salvation will be for ever,
    and my deliverance will never be ended.
