Listen to me, O pursuers of righteousness, O seekers of HaShem:Look to the rock from which you were hewn, and at the hollow of the pit from which you were dug:2 look to Abraham your forefather and to Sarah who bore you, for when he was yet one alone did I summon him and bless him and make him many.3 For HaShem will comfort Zion. He will comfort all her ruins;He will make her wilderness like Eden and her wasteland like a garden of HaShem;joy and gladness will be found there, thanksgiving and the sound of music4 Pay attention to Me, My people; give ear to Me, My nation; for instruction will come forth from Meand My judgement will be a light for peoples, to whom I will give rest.5 My righteousness is near; My salvation has gone forth;My arms will chastise nations; the islands will put their hope in Me and will trust in My arm.6 Lift up your eyes to the heavens, look at the earth below ---for the heavens will dissipate like smoke, and the earth will wear out like a garment, and its inhabitants will die, as well;but My salvation will be forever and My righteousness will not be broken.7 Listen to Me, you who know righteousness, the nation with My Torah in its heart;Do not fear from the disparagement of man, and do not be broken by their insults;8 for like a garment, a moth will eat them, and like wool a worm will eat them;but My righteousness will be forever, and My salvation for all generations.
