NASB Bible (with Strong's Numbers)

Isaiah 51

Israel Exhorted

1

aListenh8085 to me, you who  bpursueh7291 righteousnessh6664, Who seekh1245 the LORDh3068: Lookh5027 to the  crockh6697 from which you were hewnh2672 And to the  1quarryh953ah4718 from which you were dugh5365.

2

"Lookh5027 to  aAbrahamh85 your fatherh1 And to Sarahh8283 who gaveh2342a birthh2342a to you in painh2342a; Whenh3588 he  bwas but oneh259 I calledh7121 him, Then I blessedh1288 him and multipliedh7235a him."

3

Indeedh3588,  athe LORDh3068 will comforth5162 Zionh6726; He will comforth5162 allh3605 her  bwasteh2723 placesh2723. And her  cwildernessh4057b He will makeh7760 like  dEdenh5731, And her deserth6160 like the  egardenh1588 of the LORDh3068;  fJoyh8342 and gladnessh8057 will be foundh4672 in her, Thanksgivingh8426 and soundh6963 of a melodyh2172.

4

aPayh7181 attentionh7181 to Me, O My peopleh5971a, And giveh238 earh238 to Me, O My  1nationh3816; For a  blawh8451 will goh3318 forthh3318 from Me, And I will  2seth7280b My  cjusticeh4941 for a  dlighth216 of the peoplesh5971a.

5

"My  arighteousnessh6664 is nearh7138, My salvationh3468 has goneh3318 forthh3318, And My  barmsh2220 will judgeh8199 the peoplesh5971a; The  ccoastlandsh339 will waith6960a for Me, And for My  darmh2220 they will waith3176 expectantlyh3176.

6

aLifth5375 up your eyesh5869 to the skyh8064, Then lookh5027 to the earthh776 beneathh4480h8478; For the  bskyh8064 will vanishh4414a like smokeh6227, And the  bearthh776 will wearh1086 out like a garmenth899b And its inhabitantsh3427 will dieh4191  1in likeh3644 mannerh3654; But My  csalvationh3444 will be foreverh5769, And My righteousnessh6666 will not  2waneh2865.

7

aListenh8085 to Me, you who knowh3045 righteousnessh6664, A peopleh5971a in whose  bhearth3820 is My lawh8451; Do not fearh3372a the  creproachh2781 of manh582, Norh408 be dismayedh2865 at their revilingsh1421.

8

"For the  amothh6211 will eath398 them like a garmenth899b, And the  bgrubh5580 will eath398 them like woolh6785. But My  crighteousnessh6666 will be foreverh5769, And My salvationh3444 to allh1755 generationsh1755."

9

 aAwakeh5782, awakeh5782, puth3847 on strengthh5797, O armh2220 of the LORDh3068; Awakeh5782 as in the  bdaysh3117 of oldh6924a, the generationsh1755 of longh5769 agoh5769.  cWas it not You who cuth2672 Rahabh7293 in piecesh2672, Who piercedh2490a the  ddragonh8577?

10

Was it not You who  adriedh2717a up the seah3220, The watersh4325 of the greath7227a deeph8415; Who madeh7760 the depthsh4615 of the seah3220 a pathwayh1870 For the  bredeemedh1350 to crossh5674a overh5674a?

11

So the  aransomedh6299 of the LORDh3068 will returnh7725 And comeh935 with joyfulh7440 shoutingh7440 to Zionh6726, And  beverlastingh5769 joyh8057 will be on their headsh7218. They will obtainh5381 gladnessh8342 and joyh8057, And  csorrowh3015 and sighingh585 will fleeh5127 away.

12

"I, even I, am He who  acomfortsh5162 you. Whoh4310 are you that you are afraidh3372a of  bmanh582 who diesh4191 And of the sonh1121 of manh120 who is madeh5414  clike grassh2682,

13

That you have  aforgottenh7911 the LORDh3068 your Makerh6213a, Who  bstretchedh5186 out the heavensh8064 And laidh3245 the foundationsh3245 of the earthh776, That you  cfearh6342 continuallyh8548 allh3605 dayh3117 long becauseh4480h6440 of the furyh2534 of the oppressorh6693, As he makesh3559 readyh3559 to destroyh7843? But whereh346 is the furyh2534 of the  doppressorh6693?

14

"The  1 aexileh6808 will soonh4116 be seth6605a freeh6605a, and will not dieh4191 in the dungeonh7845,  bnorh3808 will his breadh3899 be lackingh2637.

15

"For I am the LORDh3068 your Godh430, who  astirsh7280a up the seah3220 and its wavesh1530 roarh1993 (the LORDh3068 of hostsh6635 is His nameh8034).

16

"I have  aputh7760 My wordsh1697 in your mouthh6310 and have  bcoveredh3680 you with the shadowh6738 of My handh3027, to  1 cestablishh5193 the heavensh8064, to foundh3245 the earthh776, and to sayh559 to Zionh6726, `You are My peopleh5971a.' "

17

 aRouseh5782 yourselfh5782! Rouseh5782 yourselfh5782! Ariseh6965, O Jerusalemh3389, You whoh834 have  bdrunkh8354 from the LORD'Sh3068 handh3027 the cuph3563a of His angerh2534; The  1chaliceh3563ah6907 of reelingh8653 you have  2drainedh4680 to the dregsh6907.

18

Thereh369 is  anoneh369 to guideh5095 her amongh4480 allh3605 the sonsh1121 she has borneh3205, Norh369 is thereh369 oneh369 to takeh2388 her by the handh3027 amongh4480 allh3605 the sonsh1121 she has rearedh1431.

19

Theseh2007 twoh8147 thingsh8147 have befallenh7122 you; Whoh4310 will mournh5110 for you? The  adevastationh7701 and destructionh7667, famineh7458 and swordh2719; Howh4310 shall I comforth5162 you?

20

Your sonsh1121 have faintedh5968, They  alieh7901 helpless at the headh7218 of everyh3605 streeth2351, Like an  bantelopeh8377 in a neth4364b, Fullh4392 of the wrathh2534 of the LORDh3068, The  crebukeh1606 of your Godh430.

21

Thereforeh3651, pleaseh4994 hearh8085 thish384, you  aafflictedh6041, Who are  bdrunkh7937, but not with wineh3196:

22

Thush3541 saysh559 your Lordh136, the LORDh3068, even your Godh430 Who  acontendsh7378 for His peopleh5971a, "Beholdh2009, I have takenh3947 out of your handh3027 the  bcuph3563a of reelingh8653, The  1chaliceh3563ah6907 of My angerh2534; You will neverh3808 drinkh8354 it againh3254.

23

"I will  aputh7760 it into the handh3027 of your tormentorsh3013, Whoh834 have saidh559 to  1you, ` bLieh7812 downh7812 that we may walkh5674a overh5674a you.' You have even madeh7760 your backh1460a like the groundh776 And like the streeth2351 for those who walkh5674a overh5674a it."
