Yesaya 51:7-8

51:7 Listen to me, you who know what is right,

you people who are aware of my law! ¹ 

Don’t be afraid of the insults of men;

don’t be discouraged because of their abuse!

51:8 For a moth will eat away at them like clothes;

a clothes moth will devour them like wool.

But the vindication I provide ²  will be permanent;

the deliverance I give will last.”

[51:7]  ¹ tn Heb “people (who have) my law in their heart.”

[51:8]  ² tn Heb “my vindication”; many English versions “my righteousness”; NRSV, TEV “my deliverance”; CEV “my victory.”
