Berean Standard Bible
Hearken
to me, ye
that
follow
after
righteousness, ye
that
seek the LORD: look unto
the rock whence
ye
are
hewn
, and to the hole
of
the
pit
whence
ye
are
digged
.
“Listen
to Me, you
who
pursue
righteousness, you
who
seek the LORD: Look to
the rock from
which
you
were
cut
, and to the quarry
from
which
you
were
hewn
.
Look unto
Abraham your father, and unto
Sarah that
bare
you :
for
I called him alone
, and
blessed him ,
and increased
him.
Look to
Abraham your father, and to
Sarah who
gave
you birth.
When
I called him, he
was
but
one;
then
I
blessed him and multiplied
him.
For the LORD shall
comfort Zion :
he
will comfort
all her waste
places
; and
he will make her wilderness like Eden ,
and her desert like the garden of the LORD ;
joy and gladness shall
be found therein
, thanksgiving ,
and the
voice
of
melody
.
For the LORD will
comfort Zion and
will look
with
compassion
on
all her ruins
; He will make her wilderness like Eden and her desert like the garden of the LORD .
Joy and gladness will
be found in
her
, thanksgiving and melodious
song
.
Hearken
unto
me, my people ;
and give
ear
unto
me, O
my nation :
for a law shall
proceed
from me, and I
will
make
my judgment
to
rest
for
a light of
the people
.
Pay
attention
to
Me, My people ,
and listen
to
Me, My nation ;
for a law will
go
out
from Me, and My justice
will
become
a light to
the nations;
I
will
bring
it
about
quickly
.
My righteousness is
near ;
my salvation is gone
forth
, and mine
arms shall
judge
the people;
the isles
shall
wait
upon
me ,
and on
mine
arm shall
they
trust
.
My righteousness draws
near ,
My salvation is on
the
way
, and My
arms will
bring
justice
to
the nations.
The islands
will
look
for
Me and wait
in
hope
for
My
arm.
Lift up your eyes to the heavens, and look upon
the earth beneath:
for the heavens shall
vanish away
like smoke, and
the earth shall
wax
old
like a garment, and they
that
dwell
therein
shall
die in
like manner:
but my salvation shall
be
for
ever
, and my righteousness shall
not
be
abolished
.
Lift up your eyes to the heavens, and look at
the earth below;
for the heavens will
vanish like smoke, the earth will
wear
out
like a garment, and its
people
will
die like gnats.
But My salvation will
last
forever
, and My righteousness will
never
fail
.
Hearken
unto
me, ye
that
know righteousness
, the
people in
whose
heart
is
my law ;
fear
ye
not the reproach
of men ,
neither
be ye
afraid
of
their revilings
.
Listen
to
Me, you
who
know what
is
right
, you
people with
My law in
your
hearts:
Do
not fear
the scorn
of men ;
do
not
be broken
by
their insults
.
For the moth shall
eat
them up
like a garment, and the worm shall
eat them like wool :
but my righteousness shall
be
for
ever
, and
my salvation from
generation
to
generation
.
For the moth will
devour
them like a garment, and the worm will
eat them like wool .
But My righteousness will
last
forever
, My salvation through
all
generations
. ”
Awake, awake, put on strength, O arm of the LORD ;
awake,
as in the
ancient
days, in the
generations of old. Art
thou
not
it that
hath
cut Rahab, and
wounded
the dragon?
Awake, awake, put on strength, O arm of the LORD .
Wake
up
as in days past
, as
in generations of old. Was
it not
You
who
cut Rahab to
pieces
, who
pierced
through
the dragon?
Art
thou
not
it which
hath
dried the sea, the waters of the great deep ;
that
hath
made the depths of the sea a
way
for the ransomed
to pass
over?
Was
it not
You
who
dried up
the sea, the waters of the great deep ,
who
made a
road
in
the depths of the sea for the redeemed
to cross
over?
Therefore
the redeemed of the LORD shall
return ,
and come
with singing unto
Zion;
and
everlasting joy shall
be
upon
their
head:
they
shall
obtain
gladness and joy ;
and sorrow and mourning
shall
flee away
.
So
the redeemed of the LORD will
return and enter
Zion
with singing ,
crowned
with
everlasting joy .
Gladness and joy will
overtake
them,
and sorrow and sighing
will
flee.
I, even I, am he that
comforteth
you:
who art
thou,
that
thou
shouldest
be afraid of a
man that
shall
die
, and
of the
son of man which
shall
be
made
as
grass ;
“
I, even I, am He who comforts
you.
Why
should
you
be afraid of mortal
man, of a
son of man who
withers
like
grass ?
And
forgettest
the LORD thy
maker, that
hath
stretched forth
the heavens ,
and laid the foundations of the earth ;
and
hast
feared
continually
every
day because of the fury of the oppressor ,
as
if
he
were
ready
to
destroy?
and
where is the fury of the oppressor?
But
you
have
forgotten
the LORD ,
your
Maker, who
stretched out
the heavens and laid the foundations of the earth .
You
live
in
terror
all
day long
because of the fury of the oppressor who
is
bent
on
destruction.
But
where is the fury of the oppressor?
The captive exile
hasteneth
that
he
may
be loosed,
and
that
he should
not die in the pit
, nor
that
his bread should
fail
.
The captive will
soon
be freed;
he will
not die in the dungeon
, and
his bread will
not
be
lacking
.
But
I am the LORD thy
God ,
that
divided
the sea ,
whose
waves roared:
The LORD of hosts is his name.
For
I am the LORD your
God who
stirs
up
the sea so
that
its
waves roar—
the LORD of Hosts is His name.
And
I have put my words in thy
mouth, and I
have
covered thee
in
the shadow of mine
hand, that
I
may
plant
the heavens, and
lay
the
foundations
of
the earth, and say unto
Zion, Thou
art
my people.
I have put My words in your
mouth, and covered you
with
the shadow of My
hand, to
establish
the heavens, to
found
the earth, and to
say to
Zion, ‘You
are
My people. ’”
Awake, awake ,
stand
up, O Jerusalem, which
hast
drunk at
the hand of the LORD the cup of his fury; thou
hast
drunken
the dregs of
the cup of
trembling,
and
wrung
them
out
.
Awake, awake !
Rise
up, O Jerusalem, you
who
have
drunk from
the hand of the LORD the cup of His fury; you
who
have
drained
the goblet
to
the
dregs —
the cup that
makes
men
stagger
.
There is none
to guide her among all the sons whom
she hath
brought forth;
neither
is
there any
that
taketh
her by
the
hand of
all
the
sons
that
she
hath
brought
up
.
Among
all
the
sons
she
bore,
there is no
one
to guide her ;
among all the sons she brought up,
there is
no
one
to
take
her hand.
These two
things
are
come
unto
thee;
who
shall
be
sorry
for
thee?
desolation,
and destruction, and
the
famine ,
and the
sword :
by
whom
shall
I
comfort thee
?
These pairs
have
befallen
you:
devastation
and destruction, famine and sword .
Who
will
grieve
for
you?
Who
can
comfort you
?
Thy
sons have fainted ,
they lie at the head of all
the
streets
, as
a
wild
bull
in a net :
they are full of the fury
of the LORD, the rebuke of thy
God.
Your
sons have fainted ;
they lie at the head of every
street
, like
an
antelope
in a net .
They are full of the wrath
of the LORD, the rebuke of your
God.
Therefore hear
now this, thou
afflicted, and
drunken, but not with wine :
Therefore now hear
this, you
afflicted one
, drunken, but not with wine .
Thus saith
thy
Lord the LORD, and
thy
God that
pleadeth
the
cause
of
his people ,
Behold
, I have taken
out
of
thine
hand the cup of trembling
, even
the dregs
of
the
cup of my fury ;
thou
shalt
no
more
drink it
again :
Thus says
your
Lord ,
the LORD, even
your
God ,
who
defends
His people :
“See
, I have removed
from
your
hand the cup of staggering.
From
that
goblet
, the cup of My fury ,
you
will
never
drink again .
But
I will put
it into
the hand
of them
that
afflict
thee;
which
have
said
to
thy
soul
, Bow
down, that
we may
go
over :
and
thou
hast
laid
thy
body
as
the ground, and
as
the
street ,
to them
that
went
over
.
I will place
it in
the hands
of your
tormentors
, who
told
you:
‘Lie
down, so
we can
walk
over you,’
so
that
you
made
your
back
like
the ground, like
a
street to be
traversed
. ”
