Isaiah 41:5-16

5The isles have seenH7200, and fearH3372; the endsH7098 of the earthH776 trembleH2729; they drawH7126 near, and come. 6They helpH5826 every oneH376 his neighborH7453; and every oneH376 saith to his brotherH251, Be of good courage. 7So the carpenter encourageth the goldsmithH6884, and he that smootheth with the hammerH6360 him that smiteth the anvil, sayingH559 of the soldering, It is goodH2896; and he fasteneth it with nailsH4548, that it should not be moved.

8But thou, IsraelH3478, my servantH5650, JacobH3290 whom I have chosenH977, the seedH2233 of AbrahamH85 my friendH157, 9thou whom I have takenH2388 holdH2388 of from the endsH7098 of the earthH776, and calledH7121 from the corners thereof, and saidH559 unto thee, Thou art my servantH5650, I have chosenH977 thee and not cast thee away; 10fearH3372 thou not, for I am with thee; be not dismayed, for I am thy GodH430; I will strengthenH553 thee; yea, I will helpH5826 thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the rightH3225 handH3225 of my righteousnessH6664. 11Behold, all they that are incensed against thee shall beH1961 putH954 to shameH954 and confounded: they that strive with thee shall beH1961 as nothingH369, and shall perishH6. 12Thou shalt seekH1245 them, and shalt not findH4672 them, even them that contend with thee: they that warH4421 against thee shall beH1961 as nothing, and as a thing of nought. 13For I, Jehovah thy GodH430, will holdH2388 thy rightH3225 handH3225, sayingH559 unto thee, FearH3372 not; I will helpH5826 thee. 14FearH3372 not, thou worm JacobH3290, and ye men of IsraelH3478; I will helpH5826 thee, saith Jehovah, and thy RedeemerH1350 is the HolyH6918 OneH6918 of IsraelH3478. 15Behold, I have madeH7760 thee to be a newH2319 sharp threshingH1758 instrument having teeth; thou shalt threshH1758 the mountainsH2022, and beat them small, and shalt makeH7760 the hillsH1389 as chaffH4671. 16Thou shalt winnowH2219 them, and the windH7307 shall carryH5375 them awayH5375, and the whirlwind shall scatterH2219 them; and thou shalt rejoiceH1523 in Jehovah, thou shalt glory in the HolyH6918 OneH6918 of IsraelH3478.
