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.

The verse 6 is found in chapter 51 of Isaiah. The people are called to look to Abraham and Sarah as the origin of their identity. God can turn a wilderness into a garden, and his righteousness can reach the peoples. The exhortation to lift their eyes shifts attention from present fragility toward the permanence of divine salvation and justice.

Hebet eure Augen auf gen Himmel und schauet unten auf die Erde. Denn der Himmel wird wie ein Rauch vergehen und die Erde wie ein Kleid veralten, und die darauf wohnen, werden im Nu dahinsterben. Aber mein Heil bleibt ewiglich, und meine Gerechtigkeit wird kein Ende haben.
Alzad a los cielos vuestros ojos, y mirad abajo a la tierra: porque los cielos serán deshechos como humo, y la tierra se envejecerá como ropa de vestir, y de la misma manera perecerán sus moradores: mas mi salud será para siempre, mi justicia no perecerá.
Levanten sus ojos hacia los cielos y miren la tierra abajo. Porque los cielos se desvanecerán como humo y la tierra se gastará como una vestidura; sus habitantes morirán de la misma manera. Pero mi salvación será para siempre y mi justicia no será quebrantada.
Levez les yeux vers le ciel, et regardez en bas sur la terre! Car les cieux s'évanouiront comme une fumée, La terre tombera en lambeaux comme un vêtement, Et ses habitants périront comme des mouches; Mais mon salut durera éternellement, Et ma justice n'aura point de fin.
Alzate gli occhi vostri al cielo, e riguardate in terra abbasso; perciocchè i cieli si dissolveranno a guisa di fumo, e la terra sarà logorata come un vestimento, ed i suoi abitanti similmente morranno; ma la mia salute sarà in eterno, e la mia giustizia non iscaderà.
Levantai os vossos olhos para os céus, e olhai para a terra em baixo, porque os céus desaparecerão como a fumaça, e a terra se envelhecerá como roupa, e os seus moradores morrerão semelhantemente; porém a minha salvação durará para sempre, e a minha justiça não será abolida.
你們要向天舉目, 觀看下面的地; 天必像煙雲消散, 地必如衣服漸漸破舊; 其上的居民也要如此 死亡。 惟有我的救恩永遠長存, 我的公義也不廢掉。
