Isaiah 51:6
World English Bible
Lift up your eyes to the heavens,
and look at the earth beneath;
for the heavens will vanish away like smoke,
and the earth will wear out like a garment.
Its inhabitants will die in the same way,
but my salvation will be forever,
and my righteousness will not be abolished.

and hear me, my nation,
for a law will go out from me,

the people in whose heart is my law.

and don’t be dismayed at their insults. - 8For the moth will eat them up like a garment,
and the worm will eat them like wool;
but my righteousness will be forever,
and my salvation to all generations.”
