Isaiah 51:5

At hand is my righteousness. Gone forth hath my salvation, And, mine own arms, unto the peoples, shall give justice,—Upon me, Coastlands, shall wait, And for mine arm, shall they hope.

The Emphasised Bible by J. B. Rotherham

In The King James Version

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.

In Context

4Attend unto me, O my people, And, O, my nation unto me give ear,—For, instruction, from me, shall go forth, And, my justice—for a light of peoples, will I establish:

6Lift up—to the heavens—your eyes, And look around to the earth beneath Though, the heavens, like smoke, should have vanished And, the earth, like a garment, should fall to pieces, And, her inhabitants, in like manner, should die, Yet, my salvation, unto times age-abiding, shall continue, And, my righteousness, shall not be broken down.
