Isaiah 51:7-9

Contemporary English Version

⁷ If you want to do right
    and obey my teaching
with all your heart,
    then pay close attention.
Don't be discouraged
when others insult you
    and say hurtful things.
⁸ They will be eaten away
    like a moth-eaten coat.
But my victory will last;
my saving power
    will never end.
