Isaiah 41:8-20

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.
