Isaiah 51:7-9

Expanded Bible

⁷ “You people who know ·what is right [righteousness] should listen to me;
    you people who ·follow my teachings [have my law/^LTorah in your heart] should hear what I say.
Don’t be afraid of the ·evil things people say [^Lreproach/scorn of people],
    and don’t be ·upset [discouraged; dismayed] by their insults.
⁸ Moths will eat those people as if they were clothes,
    and worms will eat them as if they were wool.
But my goodness will continue forever,
    and my salvation ·will continue from now on [^Lfrom generation to generation].”

⁹ Wake up, wake up, and ·use your [clothe yourself with] strength,
    ·powerful [^Larm of the] Lord.
Wake up as you did in the ·old times [ancient days],
    as you did ·a long time ago [^Lin generations everlasting].
·With your own power, you [^LWere you not the one who…?] cut Rahab [^Ca mythical sea monster symbolizing chaos; 30:7; Ps. 89:10] into pieces
    and ·killed [pierced] that ·sea monster [serpent; dragon; 27:1; Ps. 74:13–14].
