Isaiah

Isaiah 51:11–12

¹¹So the redeemed of the LORD will return

and enter Zion with singing,

crowned with everlasting joy.

Gladness and joy will overtake them,

and sorrow and sighing will flee.

¹²“I, even I, am He who comforts you.

Why should you be afraid of mortal man,

of a son of man who withers like grass?
