Isaiah 51:8-10
EasyEnglish Bible

8 Those people will soon disappear,
    like clothes that moths have eaten,
    like wool that worms have eaten.
But I will always rule with righteousness.
    I will keep my people safe for ever.’

9 Wake up, Lord!
    Get ready to show your strength!
Do great things, as you did in past days,
    when our ancestors were alive.
Remember how you cut the monster, Rahab, into pieces.[a]
10 You made the sea become dry,
    so that there was a path through the deep water.
The slaves that you rescued
    could then cross over.[b]

Footnotes

  1. 51:9 ‘Rahab’ was a monster that lived in the sea. It is a picture of the enemies of God's people. See Psalms 89:10. Here it may mean Egypt.
  2. 51:10 This describes how God's people escaped from Egypt, where they had been slaves.
