Isaiah 51:12-14

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

¹² “I, I am he that comforts you;
    who are you that you are afraid of man who dies,
    of the son of man who is made like grass,
¹³ and have forgotten the Lord, your Maker,
    who stretched out the heavens
    and laid the foundations of the earth,
and fear continually all the day
    because of the fury of the oppressor,
when he sets himself to destroy?
    And where is the fury of the oppressor?
¹⁴ He who is bowed down shall speedily be released;
    he shall not die and go down to the Pit,
    neither shall his bread fail.
