Isaiah 51:12-14

Easy-to-Read Version

¹² The Lord says, “I am the one who comforts you.
    So why should you be afraid of people?
    They are only humans who live and die like the grass.

¹³ “I, the Lord, am the one who made you.
    With my power I made the earth
    and spread the sky over the earth.
But you have forgotten me,
    so you are always afraid that angry men will hurt you.
Those men planned to destroy you,
    but where are they now?

¹⁴ “People in prison will soon be made free.
    They will not die and rot in prison.
    They will have plenty of food.
