Contemporary English Version
Isaiah 51:8-10
Contemporary English Version
8 They will be eaten away
like a moth-eaten coat.
But my victory will last;
my saving power
will never end.
A Prayer for the Lord's Help
9 Wake up! Do something, Lord.
Be strong and ready.
Wake up! Do what you did
for our people long ago.
Didn't you chop up
Rahab[a] the monster?
10 Didn't you dry up the deep sea
and make a road for your people
to follow safely across?
