Isaiah 41:1-9

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;
