12 “I, even I, am He who acomforts you.
Who are you that you are afraid of bman who dies
And of the son of man who is made clike grass,
13 That you have aforgotten Yahweh your Maker,
Who bstretched out the heavens
And laid the foundations of the earth,
That you ctremble in dread continually all day long because of the wrath of the one who brings distress,
As he makes ready to bring ruin?
But where is the wrath of the done who brings distress?
14 The aone in chains will soon be set free and will not die in the pit, bnor will his bread be lacking. 15 For I am Yahweh your God, who astirs up the sea, and its waves roar—Yahweh of hosts is His name. 16 I have aput My words in your mouth and have bcovered you with the shadow of My hand, to cestablish the heavens, to found the earth, and to say to Zion, ‘You are My people.’”
