## Isaiah 51:1-4 in Context (Verses 1–7 KJV)
 
 [1 ](/kjv/isaiah/51/1) Hearken to me, ye that follow after righteousness, ye that seek the LORD: look unto the rock *whence* ye are hewn, and to the hole of the pit *whence* ye are digged.
 
 [2 ](/kjv/isaiah/51/2) Look unto Abraham your father, and unto Sarah *that* bare you: for I called him alone, and blessed him, and increased him.
 
 [3 ](/kjv/isaiah/51/3) 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.
 
 [4 ](/kjv/isaiah/51/4) ¶ 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.
 
 [5 ](/kjv/isaiah/51/5) My righteousness *is* near; my salvation is gone forth, and mine arms shall judge the people; the isles shall wait upon me, and on mine arm shall they trust.
 
 [6 ](/kjv/isaiah/51/6) Lift up your eyes to the heavens, and look upon the earth beneath: for the heavens shall vanish away like smoke, and the earth shall wax old like a garment, and they that dwell therein shall die in like manner: but my salvation shall be for ever, and my righteousness shall not be abolished.
 
 [7 ](/kjv/isaiah/51/7) ¶ Hearken unto me, ye that know righteousness, the people in whose heart *is* my law; fear ye not the reproach of men, neither be ye afraid of their revilings.
 
[Isaiah 50](/kjv/isaiah/50) [Isaiah 52](/kjv/isaiah/52)
