HEARKEN to me, ye that follow after righteousness, ye that seek the LORD: look unto the rock whence ye are hewn, and to the hole of the pit whence ye are digged.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1019429">2</a>. Look unto Abraham your father, and unto Sarah that bare you: for I called him alone, and blessed him, and increased him.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1019430">3</a>. For the LORD shall comfort Zion: he will comfort all her waste places; and he will make her wilderness like Eden, and her desert like the garden of the LORD; joy and gladness shall be found therein, thanksgiving, and the voice of melody.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1019431">4</a>. Hearken unto me, my people; and give ear unto me, O my nation: for a law shall proceed from me, and I will make my judgment to rest for a light of the people.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1019432">5</a>. My righteousness is near; my salvation is gone forth, and mine arms shall judge the people; the isles shall wait upon me, and on mine arm shall they trust.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1019433">6</a>. Lift up your eyes to the heavens, and look upon the earth beneath: for the heavens shall vanish away like smoke, and the earth shall wax old like a garment, and they that dwell therein shall die in like manner: but my salvation shall be for ever, and my righteousness shall not be abolished.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1019434">7</a>. Hearken unto me, ye that know righteousness, the people in whose heart is my law; fear ye not the reproach of men, neither be ye afraid of their revilings.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1019435">8</a>. For the moth shall eat them up like a garment, and the worm shall eat them like wool: but my righteousness shall be for ever, and my salvation from generation to generation.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1019436">9</a>. Awake, awake, put on strength, O arm of the LORD; awake, as in the ancient days, in the generations of old.  Art thou not it that hath cut Rahab, and wounded the dragon?</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1019437">10</a>. Art thou not it which hath dried the sea, the waters of the great deep; that hath made the depths of the sea a way for the ransomed to pass over?</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1019438">11</a>. Therefore the redeemed of the LORD shall return, and come with singing unto Zion; and everlasting joy shall be upon their head: they shall obtain gladness and joy; and sorrow and mourning shall flee away.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1019439">12</a>. I, even I, am he that comforteth you: who art thou, that thou shouldest be afraid of a man that shall die, and of the son of man which shall be made as grass;</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1019440">13</a>. And forgettest the LORD thy maker, that hath stretched forth the heavens, and laid the foundations of the earth; and hast feared continually every day because of the fury of the oppressor, as if he were ready to destroy?  and where is the fury of the oppressor?</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1019441">14</a>. The captive exile hasteneth that he may be loosed, and that he should not die in the pit, nor that his bread should fail.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1019442">15</a>. But I am the LORD thy God, that divided the sea, whose waves roared: The LORD of hosts is his name.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1019443">16</a>. And I have put my words in thy mouth, and I have covered thee in the shadow of mine hand, that I may plant the heavens, and lay the foundations of the earth, and say unto Zion, Thou art my people.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1019444">17</a>. Awake, awake, stand up, O Jerusalem, which hast drunk at the hand of the LORD the cup of his fury; thou hast drunken the dregs of the cup of trembling, and wrung them out.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1019445">18</a>. There is none to guide her among all the sons whom she hath brought forth; neither is there any that taketh her by the hand of all the sons that she hath brought up.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1019446">19</a>. These two things are come unto thee; who shall be sorry for thee?  desolation, and destruction, and the famine, and the sword: by whom shall I comfort thee?</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1019447">20</a>. Thy sons have fainted, they lie at the head of all the streets, as a wild bull in a net: they are full of the fury of the LORD, the rebuke of thy God.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1019448">21</a>. Therefore hear now this, thou afflicted, and drunken, but not with wine:</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1019449">22</a>. Thus saith thy Lord the LORD, and thy God that pleadeth the cause of his people, Behold, I have taken out of thine hand the cup of trembling, even the dregs of the cup of my fury; thou shalt no more drink it again:</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1019450">23</a>. But I will put it into the hand of them that afflict thee; which have said to thy soul, Bow down, that we may go over: and thou hast laid thy body as the ground, and as the street, to them that went over.</li>
