And I have put my words in thy mouth, and I have covered thee in the shadow of mine hand, that I may plant the heavens, and lay the foundations of the earth, and say unto Zion, Thou art my people.

The verse 16 is found in chapter 51 of Isaiah. Those who know righteousness should not fear human contempt because God’s salvation endures. Jerusalem is called to awaken and drink the cup of wrath, but afterward that cup will be placed in the hands of her oppressors. The image reverses the people’s situation: those who seemed condemned will recover their dignity.

Ich lege mein Wort in deinen Mund und bedecke dich unter dem Schatten meiner Hände, auf daß ich den Himmel pflanze und die Erde gründe und zu Zion spreche: Du bist mein Volk.
Y en tu boca he puesto mis palabras, y con la sombra de mi mano te cubrí, para que plantase los cielos y fundase la tierra, y que dijese a Sion: Pueblo mío eres tú.
Je mets mes paroles dans ta bouche, Et je te couvre de l'ombre de ma main, Pour étendre de nouveaux cieux et fonder une nouvelle terre, Et pour dire à Sion: Tu es mon peuple!
Ed ho messe le mie parole nella tua bocca, e ti ho coperto con l’ombra della mia mano, per piantare i cieli, e per fondar la terra, e per dire a Sion: Tu sei il mio popolo
E ponho as minhas palavras na tua boca, e te cubro com a sombra da minha mão; para plantar os céus, e para fundar a terra, e para dizer a Sião: Tu és o meu povo.
我已將我的話放在你口中, 用我的手影遮蔽你, 為要安定諸天,立定地基, 並對 錫安 說:「你是我的百姓。」
