Isa 51:12-16
12 "I, even I, am He who comforts you. Who are you that you should be afraid of a man who will die, And of the son of a man who will be made like grass?
13 And you forget the LORD your Maker, Who stretched out the heavens and laid the foundations of the earth; You have feared continually every day Because of the fury of the oppressor, When he has prepared to destroy.And where is the fury of the oppressor?
14 The captive exile hastens, that he may be loosed,That he should not die in the pit,
And that his bread should not fail.
15 But I am the LORD your God, Who divided the sea whose waves roared — The LORD of hosts is His name.
16 And I have put My words in your mouth;I have covered you with the shadow of My hand,
That I may plant the heavens,Lay the foundations of the earth,
And say to Zion, 'You are My people.'"
