Isaiah 41:8-20

8But thou, IsraelH3478, art my servantH5650, JacobH3290 whom I have chosenH977, the seedH2233 of AbrahamH85 my friendH157. 9Thou whom I have takenH2388 from the endsH7098 of the earthH776, and calledH7121 thee from the chief menH678 thereof, and saidH559 unto thee, Thou art my servantH5650; I have chosenH977 thee, and not cast thee awayH3988.

10FearH3372 thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayedH8159; for I am thy GodH430: I will strengthenH553 thee; yea, I will helpH5826 thee; yea, I will upholdH8551 thee with the right handH3225 of my righteousnessH6664. 11Behold, all they that were incensedH2734 against thee shall be ashamedH954 and confoundedH3637: they shall be as nothing; and theyH582 that striveH7379 with thee shall perishH6.1 12Thou shalt seekH1245 them, and shalt not findH4672 them, even themH582 that contendedH4695 with thee: they that warH4421 against thee shall be as nothing, and as a thing of noughtH657.23 13For I YhwhH3068 thy GodH430 will holdH2388 thy right handH3225, sayingH559 unto thee, FearH3372 not; I will helpH5826 thee. 14FearH3372 not, thou wormH8438 JacobH3290, and ye menH4962 of IsraelH3478; I will helpH5826 thee, saithH5002 YhwhH3068, and thy redeemerH1350, the Holy OneH6918 of IsraelH3478.4 15Behold, I will makeH7760 thee a newH2319 sharpH2742 threshingH4173 instrument havingH1167 teethH6374: thou shalt threshH1758 the mountainsH2022, and beat them smallH1854, and shalt makeH7760 the hillsH1389 as chaffH4671.5 16Thou shalt fanH2219 them, and the windH7307 shall carry them awayH5375, and the whirlwindH5591 shall scatterH6327 them: and thou shalt rejoiceH1523 in YhwhH3068, and shalt gloryH1984 in the Holy OneH6918 of IsraelH3478. 17When the poorH6041 and needyH34 seekH1245 waterH4325, and there is none, and their tongueH3956 failethH5405 for thirstH6772, I YhwhH3068 will hearH6030 them, I the GodH430 of IsraelH3478 will not forsakeH5800 them. 18I will openH6605 riversH5104 in high placesH8205, and fountainsH4599 in the midstH8432 of the valleysH1237: I will makeH7760 the wildernessH4057 a poolH98 of waterH4325, and the dryH6723 landH776 springsH4161 of waterH4325. 19I will plantH5414 in the wildernessH4057 the cedarH730, the shittah treeH7848, and the myrtleH1918, and the oilH8081 treeH6086; I will setH7760 in the desertH6160 the fir treeH1265, and the pineH8410, and the box treeH8391 togetherH3162: 20That they may seeH7200, and knowH3045, and considerH7760, and understandH7919 togetherH3162, that the handH3027 of YhwhH3068 hath doneH6213 this, and the Holy OneH6918 of IsraelH3478 hath createdH1254 it.
