Isaiah 51:6

Lift

up your eyes to the heavens, and look on the earth beneath; for the heavens will vanish away like smoke, and the earth will wear out like a garment; and its inhabitants will die in the same way: but my salvation will be forever, and my righteousness will not be abolished.
Isaiah 51:6


Context / meaning

Isaiah 51 [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.
My 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.
Lift up your eyes to the heavens,
and look on the earth beneath;
for the heavens will vanish away like smoke,
and the earth will wear out like a garment;
and its inhabitants will die in the same way:
but my salvation will be forever,
and my righteousness will not be abolished.


Isaiah 51 [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.
For 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.”
