Isaiah

Isaiah 51:13–15

¹³But you have forgotten the LORD, your Maker,

who stretched out the heavens

and laid the foundations of the earth.

You live in terror all day long

because of the fury of the oppressor

who is bent on destruction.

But where is the fury of the oppressor?

¹⁴The captive will soon be freed;

he will not die in the dungeon,

and his bread will not be lacking.

¹⁵For I am the LORD your God

who stirs up the sea so that its waves roar—

the LORD of Hosts is His name.
