\\ [[commentaar:jesaja51-1|1]] Hearken to me, ye that follow after righteousness, ye that seek the LORD: look unto the rock whence ye are hewn, and to the hole of the pit whence ye are digged.
\\ [[commentaar:jesaja51-2|2]] Look unto Abraham your father, and unto Sarah that bare you: for I called him alone, and blessed him, and increased him.
\\ [[commentaar:jesaja51-3|3]] For the LORD shall comfort Zion: he will comfort all her waste places; and he will make her wilderness like Eden, and her desert like the garden of the LORD; joy and gladness shall be found therein, thanksgiving, and the voice of melody.
\\ [[commentaar:jesaja51-4|4]] Hearken unto me, my people; and give ear unto me, O my nation: for a law shall proceed from me, and I will make my judgment to rest for a light of the people.
\\ [[commentaar:jesaja51-5|5]] My righteousness is near; my salvation is gone forth, and mine arms shall judge the people; the isles shall wait upon me, and on mine arm shall they trust.
\\ [[commentaar:jesaja51-6|6]] Lift up your eyes to the heavens, and look upon the earth beneath: for the heavens shall vanish away like smoke, and the earth shall wax old like a garment, and they that dwell therein shall die in like manner: but my salvation shall be for ever, and my righteousness shall not be abolished.
\\ [[commentaar:jesaja51-7|7]] Hearken unto me, ye that know righteousness, the people in whose heart is my law; fear ye not the reproach of men, neither be ye afraid of their revilings.
\\ [[commentaar:jesaja51-8|8]] For the moth shall eat them up like a garment, and the worm shall eat them like wool: but my righteousness shall be for ever, and my salvation from generation to generation.
\\ [[commentaar:jesaja51-9|9]] Awake, awake, put on strength, O arm of the LORD; awake, as in the ancient days, in the generations of old. Art thou not it that hath cut Rahab, and wounded the dragon?
\\ [[commentaar:jesaja51-10|10]] Art thou not it which hath dried the sea, the waters of the great deep; that hath made the depths of the sea a way for the ransomed to pass over?
\\ [[commentaar:jesaja51-11|11]] Therefore the redeemed of the LORD shall return, and come with singing unto Zion; and everlasting joy shall be upon their head: they shall obtain gladness and joy; and sorrow and mourning shall flee away.
\\ [[commentaar:jesaja51-12|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;
\\ [[commentaar:jesaja51-13|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?
\\ [[commentaar:jesaja51-14|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.
\\ [[commentaar:jesaja51-15|15]] But I am the LORD thy God, that divided the sea, whose waves roared: The LORD of hosts is his name.
\\ [[commentaar:jesaja51-16|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.
\\ [[commentaar:jesaja51-17|17]] Awake, awake, stand up, O Jerusalem, which hast drunk at the hand of the LORD the cup of his fury; thou hast drunken the dregs of the cup of trembling, and wrung them out.
\\ [[commentaar:jesaja51-18|18]] There is none to guide her among all the sons whom she hath brought forth; neither is there any that taketh her by the hand of all the sons that she hath brought up.
\\ [[commentaar:jesaja51-19|19]] These two things are come unto thee; who shall be sorry for thee? desolation, and destruction, and the famine, and the sword: by whom shall I comfort thee?
\\ [[commentaar:jesaja51-20|20]] Thy 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, the rebuke of thy God.
\\ [[commentaar:jesaja51-21|21]] Therefore hear now this, thou afflicted, and drunken, but not with wine:
\\ [[commentaar:jesaja51-22|22]] Thus saith thy Lord the LORD, and thy God that pleadeth the cause of his people, Behold, I have taken out of thine hand the cup of trembling, even the dregs of the cup of my fury; thou shalt no more drink it again:
\\ [[commentaar:jesaja51-23|23]] But I will put it into the hand of them that afflict thee; which have said to thy soul, Bow down, that we may go over: and thou hast laid thy body as the ground, and as the street, to them that went over.
