Isaiah 51:12-16

Authorized (King James) Version

¹² I, even I, am he that comforteth you:
who art thou, that thou shouldest be afraid of a man that shall die,
and of the son of man which shall be made as grass;
¹³ and forgettest the Lord thy maker,
that hath stretched forth the heavens,
and laid the foundations of the earth;
and hast feared continually every day
because of the fury of the oppressor,
as if he were ready to destroy?
and where is the fury of the oppressor?
¹⁴ The captive exile hasteneth that he may be loosed,
and that he should not die in the pit,
nor that his bread should fail.
¹⁵ But I am the Lord thy God,
that divided the sea, whose waves roared:
the Lord of hosts is his name.
¹⁶ And I have put my words in thy mouth,
and I have covered thee in the shadow of mine hand,
that I may plant the heavens, and lay the foundations of the earth,
and say unto Zion, Thou art my people.
