Isaiah 41:2-10
21WhoH4310 has arousedH5782 one from the eastH4217 Whom He 2callsH7121 in righteousnessH6664 to His 3feetH7272? He 4deliversH5414 up nationsH1471 beforeH6440 him And subduesH7287 kingsH4428. He makesH5414 them like 5dustH6083 with his swordH2719, As the wind-driven 6chaffH7179 with his bowH7198.3He pursuesH7291 them, passingH5674 on in safetyH7965, By a wayH734 he had not been 7traversingH935 with his feetH7272.48WhoH4310 has performedH6466 and accomplishedH6213 it, CallingH7121 forth the generationsH1755 from the beginningH7218? ‘9I, the LordH3068, am the firstH7223, and with the lastH314. 10I am He.’”
5The 11coastlandsH339 have seenH7200 and are afraidH3372; The 12endsH7098 of the earthH776 trembleH2729; They have drawnH7126 nearH7126 and have comeH857.6EachH376 oneH376 helpsH5826 his neighborH7453 And saysH559 to his brotherH251, “Be strongH2388!”7So the 13craftsmanH2796 encouragesH2388 the 14smelterH6884, And he who smoothsH2505 metal with the hammerH6360 encourages him who beatsH1986 the anvilH6471, SayingH559 of the solderingH1694, “It is goodH2896”; And he fastensH2388 it with nailsH4548, 15So that it will not totterH4131.8“But you, IsraelH3478, 16My servantH5650, JacobH3290 whomH834 I have chosenH977, DescendantH2233 of 17AbrahamH85 My 18friendH157,9You whomH834 I have 1920takenH2388 from the endsH7098 of the earthH776, And calledH7121 from its 21remotestH678 partsH678 And saidH559 to you, ‘You are 22My servantH5650, I have 23chosenH977 you and not rejectedH3988 you.10Do not 24fearH3372, for I am with you; Do not anxiously lookH8159 about you, for I am your GodH430. I will strengthenH553 you, surelyH637 25I will helpH5826 you, SurelyH637 I will upholdH8551 you with My righteousH6664 26rightH3225 handH3225.’
