Isaiah 41

1KeepH7126 silence beforeH413 meH413, O islandsH339; and let the peoplesH3816 renew their strengthH3581: let them comeH7126 nearH7126; then let them speakH1696: let usH413 comeH7126 nearH7126 togetherH3162 to judgmentH4941. 2Who hath raisedH5414 upH5782 one from the eastH4217, whomH4310 he calleth in righteousnessH6664 to his footH7272? he giveth nationsH1471 beforeH6440 him, and maketh him ruleH7287 over kingsH4428; he giveth them as the dustH6083 to his swordH2719, as the drivenH5086 stubbleH7179 to his bowH7198. 3He pursueth them, and passeth on safelyH7965; evenH3808 by a wayH734 that he had notH3808 goneH935 with his feetH7272. 4Who hath wroughtH6466 and doneH6213 it, callingH7121 the generationsH1755 from the beginningH7218? I the LORDH3068, the firstH7223, and with the lastH314, I am he. 5The islesH339 sawH7200, and fearedH3372; the endsH7098 of the earthH776 trembledH2729: they drewH7126 nearH7126, and cameH7126. 6They helpedH5826 everyH376 one his neighbour; and everyH376 one saidH559 to his brotherH251, Be of good courageH2388. 7SoH3808 the carpenter encouragedH2388 the goldsmithH6884, and he that smootheth with the hammerH6360 him that smiteth the anvilH6471, sayingH559 of the solderingH1694, It is goodH2896: and he fastened it with nailsH4548, that it should notH3808 be movedH4131. 8But thou, IsraelH3478, my servantH5650, JacobH3290 whomH834 I have chosenH977, the seedH2233 of AbrahamH85 my friendH157; 9thou whomH834 I have takenH2388 holdH2388 of from the endsH7098 of the earthH776, and calledH7121 thee from the cornersH7098 thereof, and saidH559 unto thee, Thou art my servantH5650, I have chosenH977 thee and notH3808 cast thee away; 10FearH3372 thou notH408, for I am with thee; be notH408 dismayed, for I am thy GodH430: I will strengthenH553 thee; yeaH3588, I will helpH5826 thee; yeaH3588, I will upholdH8551 thee with the rightH3225 handH3225 of my righteousnessH6664. 11BeholdH2005, allH3605 they that are incensed againstH2734 thee shall be ashamedH954 and confoundedH3637: they that strive with thee shall be as nothingH369, and shall perishH6. 12Thou shalt seekH1245 them, and shalt notH3808 findH4672 them, evenH3808 them that contend with thee: they that warH4421 againstH4421 thee shall be as nothingH3808, and as a thing of nought. 13For I the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 will holdH2388 thy rightH3225 handH3225, sayingH559 unto thee, FearH3372 notH408; I will helpH5826 thee. 14FearH3372 notH408, thou worm JacobH3290, and ye menH4962 of IsraelH3478; I will helpH5826 thee, saith the LORDH3068, and thy redeemerH1350 is the HolyH6918 One of IsraelH3478. 15BeholdH2009, I will makeH7760 thee a newH2319 sharp threshingH1758 instrument having teeth: thou shalt threshH1758 the mountainsH2022, and beat them small, and shalt makeH7760 the hillsH1389 as chaffH4671. 16Thou shalt fan them, and the windH7307 shall carryH5375 them awayH5375, and the whirlwind shall scatterH2219 them: and thou shalt rejoiceH1523 in the LORDH3068, thou shalt glory in the HolyH6918 One of IsraelH3478. 17The poorH6041 and needyH34 seekH1245 waterH4325 and there is noneH369, and their tongueH3956 faileth for thirstH6772; I the LORDH3068 will answerH6030 them, I the GodH430 of IsraelH3478 will notH3808 forsakeH5800 them. 18I will openH6605 riversH5104 on the bareH8205 heightsH8205, and fountainsH4599 in the midstH8432 of the valleysH1237: I will makeH7760 the wildernessH4057 a poolH98 of waterH4325, and the dryH6723 landH776 springsH4599 of waterH4325. 19I will plantH7760 in the wildernessH4057 the cedarH730, the acaciaH7848 treeH6086, and the myrtleH1918, and the oilH8081 treeH6086; I will setH7760 in the desertH6160 the firH1265 treeH6086, the pine, and the boxH8410 treeH6086 togetherH3162: 20that they may seeH7200, and knowH3045, and considerH7200, and understandH3045 togetherH3162, that the handH3027 of the LORDH3068 hath doneH6213 this, and the HolyH6918 One of IsraelH3478 hath createdH1254 it. 21Produce your causeH7379, saith the LORDH3068; bringH7126 forthH5066 your strongH6110 reasons, saith the KingH4428 of JacobH3290. 22LetH5046 them bringH935 them forthH5066, and declareH5046 unto usH5046 whatH4100 shall happen: declareH5046 ye the formerH7223 things, whatH4100 they be, that weH834 may considerH7760 them, and knowH3045 the latterH319 endH319 of them; or shew usH5046 things for to comeH935. 23DeclareH5046 the things that are to comeH857 hereafterH268, that weH3588 may knowH3045 that ye are godsH430: yeaH3588, doH3190 goodH3190, or doH3190 evilH7489, that weH3588 may be dismayed, and beholdH7200 it togetherH3162. 24BeholdH2005, ye are of nothingH369, and your workH6467 of nought: an abominationH8441 is he that chooseth youH859. 25I have raised upH5782 one from the northH6828, and he is comeH935; from the risingH4217 of the sunH8121 one that calleth uponH935 my nameH8034: and he shall comeH935 uponH935 rulersH5461 as uponH935 mortar, and as the potterH3335 treadeth clayH2916. 26Who hath declaredH5046 it from the beginningH7218, that weH8085 may knowH3045? and beforetime, that weH8085 may sayH559, He is righteousH6662? yea, there is noneH369 that declareth, yea, there is noneH369 that sheweth, yea, there is noneH369 that heareth your wordsH561. 27I firstH7223 will say unto ZionH6726, BeholdH2009, beholdH2009 them; and I will giveH5414 to JerusalemH3389 one that bringeth goodH1319 tidingsH1319. 28And when I lookH7200, there is noH369 manH376; even among them there is noH369 counsellor, that, when I askH7592 of them, canH369 answerH7725 a wordH1697. 29BeholdH2005, allH3605 of them, their worksH4639 are vanityH205 and nought: their molten images are windH7307 and confusionH8414.
