“Listen to me, you who pursue righteousness,         you who seek the LORD:     look to the rock from which you were hewn,         and to the quarry from which you were dug.     2 Look to Abraham your father         and to Sarah who bore you;     for  e he was but one when I called him,         that I might bless him and multiply him.     3 For the LORD  f comforts Zion;         he comforts all her waste places     and makes her wilderness like  g Eden,         her desert like  h the garden of the LORD;      i joy and gladness will be found in her,         thanksgiving and the voice of song.”

“but my salvation will be forever,         and my righteousness will never be dismayed.     7[†]  q “Listen to me, you who know righteousness,         the people  r in whose heart is my law;      s fear not the reproach of man,         nor be dismayed at their revilings.     8  t For the moth will eat them up like a garment,         and the worm will eat them like wool;      p but my righteousness will be forever,         and my salvation to all generations.”

“For my thoughts are not your thoughts,         neither are your ways my ways, declares the LORD.     9  p For as the heavens are higher than the earth,         so are my ways higher than your ways         and my thoughts than your thoughts.     10[†]  q “For as the rain and the snow come down from heaven         and do not return there but water the earth,     making it bring forth and sprout,          r giving seed to the sower and bread to the eater,     11 so shall my word be that goes out from my mouth;         it shall not return to me empty,     but  s it shall accomplish that which I purpose,         and shall succeed in the thing for which I sent it.”
