Isaiah 51:3

---

← Isaiah 51:2	Isaiah 51:3 (KJV)	Isaiah 51:4 →
Look unto Abraham your father, and unto Sarah [that] bare you: for I called him alone, and blessed him, and increased him.	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.	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.
