Isaiah 51:11-13

New Century Version

¹¹The people the Lord has freed will return
    and enter Jerusalem with joy.
    Their happiness will last forever.
They will have joy and gladness,
    and all sadness and sorrow will be gone far away.

¹²The Lord says, “I am the one who comforts you.
    So why should you be afraid of people, who die?
    Why should you fear people who die like the grass?
¹³Have you forgotten the Lord who made you,
    who stretched out the skies
    and made the earth?
Why are you always afraid
    of those angry people who trouble you
    and who want to destroy?
But where are those angry people now?
