“My righteousness is near.My salvation has gone out,and my arms will judge the peoples.The islands will wait for me,and they will trust my arm.”
Isaiah 51:5 (WEB)
Context Reading
3For Yahweh has comforted Zion.He has comforted all her waste places,and has made her wilderness like Eden,and her desert like the garden of Yahweh.Joy and gladness will be found in them,thanksgiving, and the voice of melody. 4“Listen to me, my people;and hear me, my nation,for a law will go out from me,and I will establish my justice for a light to the peoples. 5My righteousness is near.My salvation has gone out,and my arms will judge the peoples.The islands will wait for me,and they will trust my arm. 6Lift up your eyes to the heavens,and look at the earth beneath;for the heavens will vanish away like smoke,and the earth will wear out like a garment.Its inhabitants will die in the same way,but my salvation will be forever,and my righteousness will not be abolished. 7“Listen to me, you who know righteousness,the people in whose heart is my law.Don’t fear the reproach of men,and don’t be dismayed at their insults.
