New Catholic Bible
Isaiah 51:8-10
New Catholic Bible
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?
10 Was it not you who dried up the sea,
the waters of the great deep,
and turned the depths of the sea into a path
for the redeemed to pass over?
Footnotes
- Isaiah 51:9 Rahab is a personification of Egypt (see Isa 30:7; Pss 87:4; 89:10). The dragon is the crocodile, the emblem of Egypt—allusion to the ten plagues.
