Isaiah 41:8-20

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 earthH776 and 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 IsraelH3478.15BeholdH2009, I will make youH7760 into a threshing sledgeH4173,newH2319 and sharpH2742, withH1167 many teethH6374.You will threshH1758 the mountainsH2022 and crush themH1854,and reduceH7760 the hillsH1389 to chaffH4671.16You will winnow themH2219, and a windH7307 will carry them awayH5375;a galeH5591 will scatterH6327 themH853.But youH859 will rejoiceH1523 in the LORDH3068;you will gloryH1984 in the HolyH6918 One of IsraelH3478.

17The poorH6041 and needyH34 seekH1245 waterH4325, but there is noneH369;their tonguesH3956 are parchedH5405 with thirstH6772.IH589, the LORDH3068, will answer themH6030;I, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, will notH3808 forsake themH5800.18I will openH6605 riversH5104 onH5921 the barren heightsH8205,and fountainsH4599 in the middleH8432 of the valleysH1237.I will turnH7760 the desertH4057 into a poolH98 of waterH4325,and the dryH6723 landH776 into flowing springsH4161 H4325.19I will plantH5414 cedarsH730 in the wildernessH4057,acaciasH7848, myrtlesH1918, and oliveH8081 treesH6086.I will setH7760 cypressesH1265 1 in the desertH6160,elmsH8410 and boxwoodH8391 togetherH3162,20so thatH4616 allH3162 may seeH7200 and knowH3045,may considerH7760 and understandH7919,thatH3588 the handH3027 of the LORDH3068 has doneH6213 thisH2063and the HolyH6918 One of IsraelH3478 has created itH1254.”
