Isaiah 51 brings a message of comfort to Judah: "The Lord will surely comfort Zion... and make her deserts like Eden... my salvation is on the way... my arm will bring justice to the nations... my salvation will last forever... my righteousness will last through all generations". Then comes a cry for God to reveal his power like at the Red Sea so that his people enter Zion with singing. God then exhorts people not to fear men because he is the Lord their God and says to Zion "You are my people". Finally Jerusalem is exhorted to awake from the effects of God's judgement... and from the goblet of my wrath you will never drink again.
