Isaiah 41:2-8

2Who raised upH5782 the righteousH6664 man from the eastH4217, calledH7121 him to his footH7272, gaveH5414 the nationsH1471 beforeH6440 him, and made him ruleH7287 over kingsH4428? he gaveH5414 them as the dustH6083 to his swordH2719, and as drivenH5086 stubbleH7179 to his bowH7198.1

3He pursuedH7291 them, and passedH5674 safelyH7965; even by the wayH734 that he had not goneH935 with his feetH7272.2

4Who hath wroughtH6466 and doneH6213 it, callingH7121 the generationsH1755 from the beginningH7218? I YhwhH3068, the firstH7223, and with the lastH314; I am he.

5The islesH339 sawH7200 it, and fearedH3372; the endsH7098 of the earthH776 were afraidH2729, drew nearH7126, and cameH857.

6They helpedH5826 every oneH376 his neighbourH7453; and every one saidH559 to his brotherH251, Be of good courageH2388.3

7So the carpenterH2796 encouragedH2388 the goldsmithH6884, and he that smoothethH2505 with the hammerH6360 him that smoteH1986 the anvilH6471, sayingH559, It is readyH2896 for the soderingH1694: and he fastenedH2388 it with nailsH4548, that it should not be movedH4131.456

8But thou, IsraelH3478, art my servantH5650, JacobH3290 whom I have chosenH977, the seedH2233 of AbrahamH85 my friendH157.
