Isaiah 51:7-9

New Catholic Bible

⁷ Listen to me,
    you who truly comprehend the meaning of justice
    and who have my teaching in your hearts.
Do not fear the reproach of others
    or allow their reviling to dismay you.
⁸ For they will be like a garment eaten away by moths,
    like wool devoured by grubs.
But my saving justice will be everlasting
    and my deliverance for all generations.
⁹ Awake, awake, O arm of the Lord!
    Clothe yourself in strength.
Awake as in the days of old,
    in ages long past.
Was it not you who hacked Rahab^[a] to pieces
    and pierced the dragon through?
