Isaiah 30:17-18

New International Version

¹⁷ A thousand will flee
    at the threat of one;
at the threat of five^(A)
    you will all flee^(B) away,
till you are left^(C)
    like a flagstaff on a mountaintop,
    like a banner^(D) on a hill.”

¹⁸ Yet the Lord longs^(E) to be gracious to you;
    therefore he will rise up to show you compassion.^(F)
For the Lord is a God of justice.^(G)
    Blessed are all who wait for him!^(H)
