Isaiah 51:1–2

“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.

Look to Abraham your father

and to Sarah who bore you;

for he was but one when I called him,

that I might bless him and multiply him.

“Listen to me, you who pursue righteousness

and who seek the Lord:

Look to the rock from which you were cut

and to the quarry from which you were hewn;

look to Abraham, your father,

and to Sarah, who gave you birth.

When I called him he was only one man,

and I blessed him and made him many.

“Listen to me, all who hope for deliverance—

all who seek the Lord!

Consider the rock from which you were cut,

the quarry from which you were mined.

Yes, think about Abraham, your ancestor,

and Sarah, who gave birth to your nation.

Abraham was only one man when I called him.

But when I blessed him, he became a great nation.”

“Listen to me, you who pursue righteousness,

who seek Yahweh.

Look to the rock from which you were hewn,

and to the excavation of the pit from which you were quarried.

Look to Abraham your father,

and to Sarah; she brought you forth.

For I called him alone,

but I blessed him and made him numerous.”

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.

Look unto Abraham your father,

And unto Sarah that bare you:

For I called him alone,

And blessed him, and increased him.
