Isaiah 51:6

Isa 51:6 Lift up your eyes to the heavens, and look upon the earth beneath: for the heavens shall vanish away like smoke, and the earth shall wax old like a garment, and they that dwell therein shall die in like manner: but my salvation shall be for ever, and my righteousness shall not be abolished.

Ver. 6. Lift up your eyes to the heavens. ] Man hath a muscle more than ordinary to draw up his eyes heavenward.

And look upon the earth beneath. ] How fast and firm it standeth. Ecc 1:4 Yet the whole engine shall be changed. 2Pe 3:10

Shall die in like manner. ] Or, Like a louse, as some render it.

But my salvation shall be for ever. ] The gospel, together with the spiritual benefits thereby, shall outlast heaven and earth.
