Haiku of promise
Prophet Isaiah
brings words of consolation,
hope for his people.
The days of sorrow
and suffering, they will pass;
rejoicing follows.
God is generous:
gives garments of salvation
robes of righteousness.
They spring up like shoots
in God’s abundant garden:
righeousness and praise.
The prophet cries out,
unable to keep silent
at God’s salvation.
Before the nations
Zion stands vindicated,
shining like the dawn.
There for the nations
to witness; God’s salvation,
like a burning torch!
A renewed people
warrant a new name; The Lord
will spread it abroad.
God’s faithful people,
a lovely crown, a royal
diadem for God.
