Isaiah 51:1-2

God will keep his people safe

1 ‘Listen to me,

you people who want to do what is right.

You people who want to serve the Lord,

listen to me!

Think about the rock that you are a part of.

Think about the ground that they dug you out from.

2 You all started from your ancestor Abraham,

and his wife Sarah.

When I first spoke to Abraham,

he had no children.

But I blessed him,

so that he had many descendants.’
