Isaiah 51
51
1Listen to me, you2f that follow after righteousness, you2f that seek the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate): look unto the rock [from what place] you2f are cut, and to the hole of the pit [from what place] you2f are excavated.
2Look unto Avraham [Exalted Father] your father, and unto Serach [The Prince Breathed] [that] bore you: for I called him alone, and Blessed (Favored by God; happy; prosperous) him, and increased him.
3For the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) shall comfort Tziyon [parched place]: he will comfort all her waste places; and he will make her wilderness like ‘Eden [pleasure], and her desert like the Garden of the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate); joy and gladness shall be found in it, thanksgiving, and the voice of melody.
4Listen unto me, my people; and give ear unto me, O my nation: for a Torah shall proceed from me, and I will calm them with my justice for a light of the people.
5My righteousness [is] near; my salvation is gone forth, and my arms shall judge the people; the isles shall wait upon me, and on my arm shall they trust.
6Lift up your eyes to the heavens, and look upon the earth beneath: for the heavens shall vanish away like smoke, and the earth shall grow (become; advance) old like a garment, and they that dwell in it shall die in like manner: but my Salvation shall be forever, and my righteousness shall not be abolished.
7Listen unto me, you2f that know righteousness, the people in whose heart [is] my law; fear you2f not the reproach (disgrace; shame) of men, neither be you2f afraid of their revilings.
8For the moth shall eat them up like a garment, and the worm shall eat them like wool: but my righteousness shall be forever, and my salvation from generation to generation.
9Awake, awake, put on strength, O arm of the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate); awake, as in the ancient days, in the generations of old. [Are] youi not it that has cut Rachav [Wide], [and] wounded the dragon?
10 [Are] youi not it which has dried the sea, the waters of the great deep; that has made the depths of the sea a way for the ransomed to pass over?
11Therefore the redeemed of the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) shall return, and come with singing unto Tziyon [parched place]; and everlasting joy [shall be] upon their head: they shall obtain gladness and joy; [and] sorrow and mourning shall flee away.
12I, [even] I, [am] he that comforts you: who [are] youi, that youi should be afraid of a man [that] shall die, and of the Son of man [which] shall be made [as] grass;
13And forgets the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) youri maker, that has stretched forth the heavens, and laid the foundations of the earth; and have 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?
14The captive exile hastens that he may be loosed, and that he should not die in the pit, nor that his bread should fail.
15But I [am] the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) youri God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered], that divided the sea, whose waves roared: The Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) Tz’va’ot [of the Heavenly Armies] [is] his name.
16And I have put my words in youri mouth, and I have covered youi in the shadow of my hand, that I may plant the heavens, and lay the foundations of the earth, and say unto Tziyon [parched place], youi [are] my people.
17Awake, awake, stand up, O Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace], which have drunk at the hand of the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) the cup of his fury; youi have drunken the dregs (grounds at the bottom of a cup) of the cup of trembling, [and] wrung [them] out.
18 [There is] none to guide her among all the sons [whom] she has brought forth; neither [is there any] that takes her by the hand of all the sons [that] she has brought up.
19These two [things] are come unto youi; who shall be sorry for youi? desolation, and destruction, and the famine, and the sword: by whom shall I comfort youi?
20Your1s sons have fainted, they lie at the head of all the streets, as a wild bull in a net: they are full of the fury of the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), the rebuke (reprimand; strongly warn; restrain) of youi God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered].
21Therefore hear now this, youi afflicted, and drunken, but not with wine:
22Thus says youri Lord (Adon) [Lord of the earth] the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), and youri God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] [that] pleads the cause of his people, Behold, I have taken out of youri hand the cup of trembling, [even] the dregs (grounds at the bottom of a cup) of the cup of my fury; youi shall no more drink it again:
23But I will put it into the hand of them that afflict youi; which have said to youri soul, Bow down, that we may go over: and youi have laid youri body as the ground, and as the street, to them that went over.

Isaiah 51
51
1“Listen to me, you who follow after righteousness,
you who seek Yahweh.
Look to the rock you were cut from,
and to the quarry you were dug from.
2Look to Abraham your father,
and to Sarah who bore you;
for when he was but one I called him,
I blessed him,
and made him many.
3For Yahweh has comforted Zion.
He has comforted all her waste places,
and has made her wilderness like Eden,
and her desert like the garden of Yahweh.
Joy and gladness will be found in them,
thanksgiving, and the voice of melody.
4“Listen to me, my people;
and hear me, my nation,
for a law will go out from me,
and I will establish my justice for a light to the peoples.
5My righteousness is near.
My salvation has gone out,
and my arms will judge the peoples.
The islands will wait for me,
and they will trust my arm.
6Lift up your eyes to the heavens,
and look at the earth beneath;
for the heavens will vanish away like smoke,
and the earth will wear out like a garment.
Its inhabitants will die in the same way,
but my salvation will be forever,
and my righteousness will not be abolished.
7“Listen to me, you who know righteousness,
the people in whose heart is my law.
Don’t fear the reproach of men,
and don’t be dismayed at their insults.
8For the moth will eat them up like a garment,
and the worm will eat them like wool;
but my righteousness will be forever,
and my salvation to all generations.”
9Awake, awake, put on strength, arm of Yahweh!
Awake, as in the days of old,
the generations of ancient times.
Isn’t it you who cut Rahab in pieces,
who pierced the monster?
10Isn’t it you who dried up the sea,
the waters of the great deep;
who made the depths of the sea a way for the redeemed to pass over?
11Those ransomed by Yahweh will return,
and come with singing to Zion.
Everlasting joy shall be on their heads.
They will obtain gladness and joy.
Sorrow and sighing shall flee away.
12“I, even I, am he who comforts you.
Who are you, that you are afraid of man who shall die,
and of the son of man who will be made as grass?
13Have you forgotten Yahweh your Maker,
who stretched out the heavens,
and laid the foundations of the earth?
Do you live in fear continually all day because of the fury of the oppressor,
when he prepares to destroy?
Where is the fury of the oppressor?
14The captive exile will speedily be freed.
He will not die and go down into the pit.
His bread won’t fail.
15For I am Yahweh your God, who stirs up the sea
so that its waves roar.
Yahweh of Armies is his name.
16I have put my words in your mouth
and have covered you in the shadow of my hand,
that I may plant the heavens,
and lay the foundations of the earth,
and tell Zion, ‘You are my people.’”
17Awake, awake!
Stand up, Jerusalem,
you who have drunk from Yahweh’s hand the cup of his wrath.
You have drunken the bowl of the cup of staggering,
and drained it.
18There is no one to guide her among all the sons to whom she has given birth;
and there is no one who takes her by the hand among all the sons whom she has brought up.
19These two things have happened to you—
who will grieve with you?—
desolation and destruction,
and famine and the sword.
How can I comfort you?
20Your sons have fainted.
They lie at the head of all the streets,
like an antelope in a net.
They are full of Yahweh’s wrath,
the rebuke of your God.
21Therefore now hear this, you afflicted,
and drunken, but not with wine:
22Your Lord Yahweh,
your God who pleads the cause of his people, says,
“Behold, I have taken out of your hand the cup of staggering,
even the bowl of the cup of my wrath.
You will not drink it any more.
23I will put it into the hand of those who afflict you,
who have said to your soul, ‘Bow down, that we may walk over you;’
and you have laid your back as the ground,
like a street to those who walk over.”
