  • 51:6 Raise your eyes to the sky and look at the earth below. The sky will drift away like smoke, the earth will fray like old clothing, and those who live on it will die like gnats. But my salvation will remain forever, and my righteousness will never give way. 1
  • 51:9 Awake, awake, put on strength, arm of the LORD! Awake as in days long gone, in ages past! Was it not you who cut Rahab to pieces, who ran the sea monster through? 1
  • 51:13 and you have forgotten the LORD your Maker, who spread out the heavens and laid the foundations of the earth? Day after day you live in constant dread of the oppressor's rage as he takes aim to destroy. But where is the oppressor's rage now? 1
  • 51:17 Awake, awake! Stand up, Jerusalem, you who have drunk from the LORD's hand the cup of his wrath, who have drunk the goblet that makes people reel and emptied it to the bottom. 1
