Isaiah 41:8-10

8“But you are my servant Israel, Jacob, whom I have chosen, the descendant of Abraham, my dear friend.

9I have taken you from the ends of the earth and called you from its most distant places. I said to you, ‘You are my servant. I’ve chosen you; I haven’t rejected you.’

10Don’t be afraid, because I am with you. Don’t be intimidated; I am your God. I will strengthen you. I will help you. I will support you with my victorious right hand.
