Isaiah 41:1-14

1“Be silentH2790 before MeH413, O islandsH339,1 and let the peoplesH3816 renewH2498 their strengthH3581. Let them come forwardH5066 andH227 testifyH1696; let us togetherH3162 draw nearH7126 for judgmentH4941.2WhoH4310 has arousedH5782 one from the eastH4217 and called himH7121 to his feetH7272 in righteousnessH6664 2? He hands nationsH1471 overH5414 to himH6440 and subduesH7287 kingsH4428 before him. He turns themH5414 to dustH6083 with his swordH2719, to windblownH5086 chaffH7179 with his bowH7198.3He pursues themH7291, going onH5674 safelyH7965, hardlyH3808 touchingH935 the pathH734 with his feetH7272.4WhoH4310 has performed thisH6466 and carried it outH6213, calling forthH7121 the generationsH1755 from the beginningH7218? IH589, the LORDH3068—the firstH7223 andH854 the lastH314— IH589 am HeH1931.”

5The islandsH339 seeH7200 and fearH3372;the endsH7098 of the earthH776 trembleH2729.They approachH7126 and come forwardH857.6Each oneH376 helpsH5826 the otherH7453and saysH559 to his brotherH251, “Be strongH2388!”7The craftsmanH2796 encouragesH2388 the goldsmithH6884,and he who wieldsH2505 the hammerH6360 cheers him who strikesH1986 the anvilH6471,sayingH559 of the weldingH1694, “ItH1931 is goodH2896.”He nails it downH2388 H4548 so it will notH3808 be toppledH4131.

8“But youH859, O IsraelH3478, My servantH5650,JacobH3290, whomH834 I have chosenH977,descendantH2233 of AbrahamH85 My friendH157—9I broughtH2388 you fromH834 the endsH7098 of the earthH776and called youH7121 from its farthest cornersH678.I saidH559, ‘YouH859 are My servantH5650.’I have chosenH977 and notH3808 rejected youH3988.10Do notH408 fearH3372, forH3588 IH589 am with youH5973;do notH408 be afraidH8159, forH3588 IH589 am your GodH430.I will strengthen youH553; I will surely help youH637 H5826;I will uphold youH8551 with My righteousH6664 right handH3225.

11BeholdH2005, allH3605 who rageH2734 against youwill be ashamedH954 and disgracedH3637;those who contendH582 with youH7379will beH1961 reduced to nothingH369 and will perishH6.12You will seekH1245 them but will notH3808 find themH4672.Those who wage warH4421 against youH582 will comeH1961 to nothingH369 H657.13ForH3588 I amH589 the LORDH3068 your GodH430,who takes holdH2388 of your right handH3225and tellsH559 you: Do notH408 fearH3372,IH589 will help youH5826.14Do notH408 fearH3372, O JacobH3290, you wormH8438,O few menH4962 of IsraelH3478.IH589 will help youH5826,” declaresH5002 the LORDH3068.“Your RedeemerH1350 is the HolyH6918 One of IsraelH3478.
