Isaiah 51:3-5
1599 Geneva Bible
3 Surely the Lord shall comfort Zion: he shall comfort all her desolations, and he shall make her desert [a]like Eden, and her wilderness like the garden of the Lord: joy and gladness shall be found therein: praise, and the voice of singing.
4 Hearken ye unto me my people, and give ear unto me, O my people: for a [b]Law shall proceed from me, and I will bring forth my judgment for the light of the people.
5 My [c]righteousness is near: my salvation goeth forth, and mine [d]arm shall judge the people: the isles shall wait for me, and shall trust unto mine arm.
