1. Listen to Me, you who pursue righteousness,you who seek the Lord:Look to the rock from which you were cut,and to the quarry from which you were dug.
2. Look to Abraham your father,and to Sarah who gave birth to you in pain.When I called him, he was only one;I blessed him and made him many.
3. For the Lord will 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 will be found in her,thanksgiving and melodious song.
4. Pay attention to Me, My people,and listen to Me, My nation;for instruction will come from Me,and My justice for a light to the nations. I will bring it about quickly.
5. My righteousness is near, My salvation appears,and My arms will bring justice to the nations. The coastlands will put their hope in Me,and they will look to My strength.
