Lift up your eyes to the heavens, and look on the earth beneath; for the heavens shall vanish away like smoke, and the earth shall wax old like a garment; and those who dwell therein shall die in like manner: but my salvation shall be forever, and my righteousness shall not be abolished.

Lift up your eyes to the heavens and look to the earth beneath, for the heavens will be dissipated like smoke, and the earth will wear out like a garment, and its dwellers will die like thus. But my salvation will be forever, and my righteousness will not be dismayed.
