Isaiah 51:12-14

International Standard Version

¹² “I—yes, I—am the one who comforts you.
    Who are you, that you are so afraid of humans who will die,
        descendants of mere^[a] men, who have been made^[b] like grass?
¹³ As a result, you have forgotten the Lord who made you,
    who stretched out the heavens
and laid the earth’s foundations,
    and you live in constant fear every day
because of the oppressor’s fury,
    since he’s ready to destroy.
        Now where is the^[c] oppressor’s fury?
¹⁴ Distress^[d] will quickly be set free.
    He won’t die in the Pit,^[e]
        nor will he lack food.”
