Isaiah 41:2-23

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.’11BeholdH2005, 27allH3605 those who are angeredH2734 at you will be shamedH954 and dishonoredH3637; 28ThoseH376 whoH376 contendH7379 with you will be as nothingH369 and will perishH6.1229You will seekH1245 thoseH376 whoH376 quarrelH4695 with you, but will not findH4672 them, ThoseH376 whoH376 warH4421 with you will be as nothingH369 and non-existentH657.13For I am the LordH3068 your GodH430, 30who upholdsH2388 your rightH3225 handH3225, Who saysH559 to you, ‘31Do not fearH3372, I will helpH5826 you.’14Do not fearH3372, you 32wormH8439 JacobH3290, you menH4962 of IsraelH3478; I will helpH5826 you,” declaresH5002 the LordH3068, “33and 34your RedeemerH1350 is the HolyH6918 OneH6918 of IsraelH3478.15BeholdH2009, I have madeH7760 you a newH2319, sharpH2742 threshingH4173 sledgeH4173 with double edgesH6310; 35You will threshH1758 the 36mountainsH2022 and pulverizeH1854 them, And will makeH7760 the hillsH1389 like chaffH4671.16You will 37winnowH2219 them, and the windH7307 will carryH5375 them away, And the stormH5591 will scatterH6327 them; But you will 38rejoiceH1523 in the LordH3068, You will gloryH1984 in the HolyH6918 OneH6918 of IsraelH3478.

17“The 39afflictedH6041 and needyH34 are seekingH1245 40waterH4325, but thereH369 is noneH369, And their tongueH3956 is parchedH5405 with thirstH6772; I, the LordH3068, 41will answerH6030 them Myself, As the GodH430 of IsraelH3478 I 42will not forsakeH5800 them.18I will openH6605 43riversH5104 on the bareH8205 heightsH8205 And springsH4599 in the midstH8432 of the valleysH1237; I will makeH7760 44the wildernessH4057 a poolH98 of waterH4325 And the dryH6723 landH776 fountainsH4161 of waterH4325.19I will putH5414 the cedarH730 in the wildernessH4057, The acaciaH7848 and the 45myrtleH1918 and the 46oliveH8081 treeH8410; I will placeH7760 the 47juniperH1265 in the desertH6160 TogetherH3164 with the boxH8410 treeH8391 and the cypressH8391,20That 48they may seeH7200 and recognizeH3045, And considerH7760 and gainH7919 insightH7919 as wellH3164, That the 49handH3027 of the LordH3068 has doneH6213 thisH2088, And the HolyH6918 OneH6918 of IsraelH3478 has createdH1254 it.

21“50PresentH7126 your caseH7379,” the LordH3068 saysH559. “BringH5066 forwardH5066 your strongH6110 arguments,” The 51KingH4428 of JacobH3290 saysH559.2252Let them bringH5066 forthH5066 and declareH5046 to us whatH834 is going to takeH7136 placeH7136; As for the 53formerH7223 events, declareH5046 whatH4100 they were, That we may considerH7760 them and knowH3045 their outcomeH319. OrH176 announceH8085 to us what is comingH935;2354DeclareH5046 the thingsH857 that are going to comeH857 afterwardH268, That we may knowH3045 that you are godsH430; IndeedH637, 55doH3190 goodH3190 or evilH7489, that we may anxiously lookH8159 about us and fearH3372 togetherH3164.
