Isaiah 44:23

Context

44:23 Shout for joy, O sky, for the Lord intervenes; 1 

shout out, you subterranean regions 2  of the earth.

O mountains, give a joyful shout;

you too, O forest and all your trees! 3 

For the Lord protects 4  Jacob;

he reveals his splendor through Israel. 5 

Isaiah 51:6

Context

51:6 Look up at the sky!

Look at the earth below!

For the sky will dissipate 6  like smoke,

and the earth will wear out like clothes;

its residents will die like gnats.

But the deliverance I give 7  is permanent;

the vindication I provide 8  will not disappear. 9 

Isaiah 51:13

Context

51:13 Why do you forget 10  the Lord, who made you,

who stretched out the sky 11 

and founded the earth?

Why do you constantly tremble all day long 12 

at the anger of the oppressor,

when he makes plans to destroy?

Where is the anger of the oppressor? 13
