Isaiah 51:12-14
Contemporary English Version
Isaiah 51:12-14
Contemporary English Version
The Lord Gives Hope
12 I am the Lord, the one
who encourages you.
Why are you afraid
of mere humans?
They dry up and die like grass.
13 I spread out the heavens
and laid foundations
for the earth.
But you have forgotten me,
your Lord and Creator.
All day long you were afraid
of those who were angry
and hoped to oppress you.
Where are they now?
14 Everyone crying out in pain
will be quickly set free;
they will be rescued
from the power of death
and never go hungry.
Isaiah 51:12-14
New International Version
Isaiah 51:12-14
New International Version
12 “I, even I, am he who comforts(A) you.
Who are you that you fear(B) mere mortals,(C)
human beings who are but grass,(D)
13 that you forget(E) the Lord your Maker,(F)
who stretches out the heavens(G)
and who lays the foundations of the earth,
that you live in constant terror(H) every day
because of the wrath of the oppressor,
who is bent on destruction?
For where is the wrath of the oppressor?(I)
14 The cowering prisoners will soon be set free;(J)
they will not die in their dungeon,
nor will they lack bread.(K)
