Isaiah 51:7-9

Easy-to-Read Version

⁷ You people who understand goodness should listen to me.
    You people who follow my teachings should hear the things I say.
Don’t be afraid of evil people.
    Don’t let their insults upset you.
⁸ They will be like old clothes eaten by moths.
    They will be like wool eaten by worms.
But my goodness will last forever.
    My salvation will continue forever and ever.”

⁹ Wake up! Wake up!
    Arm of the Lord, clothe yourself with strength.
Show your power the way you did long ago,
    as you have from ancient times.
You are the one who destroyed Rahab.
    You defeated the Dragon.^[a]
