Isaiah 51:6
New English Translation
Isaiah 51:6
New English Translation
6 Look up at the sky.
Look at the earth below.
For the sky will dissipate[a] like smoke,
and the earth will wear out like clothes;
its residents will die like gnats.
But the deliverance I give[b] is permanent;
the vindication I provide[c] will not disappear.[d]
