Raise your eyes to the heavens
    and gaze down on the earth below.
For the heavens will vanish like smoke,
    and the earth will wear out like a garment
    as its inhabitants die like flies.
But my salvation will be everlasting
    and my justice will never cease.
Listen to me,
    you who truly comprehend the meaning of justice
    and who have my teaching in your hearts.
Do not fear the reproach of others
    or allow their reviling to dismay you.
For they will be like a garment eaten away by moths,
    like wool devoured by grubs.
But my saving justice will be everlasting
    and my deliverance for all generations.
