ISA-41:1 Keep silence before me, O islands; and let the people
renew [their] strength: let them come near; then let them speak:
let us come near together to judgment.
ISA-41:2 Who raised up the righteous [man] from the east, called
him to his foot, gave the nations before him, and made [him]
rule over kings? he gave [them] as the dust to his sword, [and]
as driven stubble to his bow.
ISA-41:3 He pursued them, [and] passed safely; [even] by the way
[that] he had not gone with his feet.
ISA-41:4 Who hath wrought and done [it], calling the generations
from the beginning? I the LORD, the first, and with the last; I
[am] he.
ISA-41:5 The isles saw [it], and feared; the ends of the earth
were afraid, drew near, and came.
ISA-41:6 They helped every one his neighbour; and [every one]
said to his brother, Be of good courage.
ISA-41:7 So the carpenter encouraged the goldsmith, [and] he
that smootheth [with] the hammer him that smote the anvil,
saying, It [is] ready for the soldering: and he fastened it with
nails, [that] it should not be moved.
ISA-41:8 But thou, Israel, [art] my servant, Jacob whom I have
chosen, the seed of Abraham my friend.
ISA-41:9 [Thou] whom I have taken from the ends of the earth,
and called thee from the chief men thereof, and said unto thee,
Thou [art] my servant; I have chosen thee, and not cast thee
away.
ISA-41:10 Fear thou not; for I [am] with thee: be not dismayed;
for I [am] thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help
thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my
righteousness.
ISA-41:11 Behold, all they that were incensed against thee shall
be ashamed and confounded: they shall be as nothing; and they
that strive with thee shall perish.
ISA-41:12 Thou shalt seek them, and shalt not find them, [even]
them that contended with thee: they that war against thee shall
be as nothing, and as a thing of nought.
ISA-41:13 For I the LORD thy God will hold thy right hand,
saying unto thee, Fear not; I will help thee.
ISA-41:14 Fear not, thou worm Jacob, [and] ye men of Israel; I
will help thee, saith the LORD, and thy redeemer, the Holy One
of Israel.
ISA-41:15 Behold, I will make thee a new sharp threshing
instrument having teeth: thou shalt thresh the mountains, and
beat [them] small, and shalt make the hills as chaff.
ISA-41:16 Thou shalt fan them, and the wind shall carry them
away, and the whirlwind shall scatter them: and thou shalt
rejoice in the LORD, [and] shalt glory in the Holy One of Israel.
ISA-41:17 [When] the poor and needy seek water, and [there is]
none, [and] their tongue faileth for thirst, I the LORD will
hear them, I the God of Israel will not forsake them.
ISA-41:18 I will open rivers in high places, and fountains in
the midst of the valleys: I will make the wilderness a pool of
water, and the dry land springs of water.
ISA-41:19 I will plant in the wilderness the cedar, the shittah
tree, and the myrtle, and the oil tree; I will set in the desert
the fir tree, [and] the pine, and the box tree together:
ISA-41:20 That they may see, and know, and consider, and
understand together, that the hand of the LORD hath done this,
and the Holy One of Israel hath created it.
ISA-41:21 Produce your cause, saith the LORD; bring forth your
strong [reasons], saith the King of Jacob.
ISA-41:22 Let them bring [them] forth, and show us what shall
happen: let them show the former things, what they [be], that we
may consider them, and know the latter end of them; or declare
us things for to come.
ISA-41:23 Show the things that are to come hereafter, that we
may know that ye [are] gods: yea, do good, or do evil, that we
may be dismayed, and behold [it] together.
ISA-41:24 Behold, ye [are] of nothing, and your work of nought:
an abomination [is he that] chooseth you.
ISA-41:25 I have raised up [one] from the north, and he shall
come: from the rising of the sun shall he call upon my name: and
he shall come upon princes as [upon] mortar, and as the potter
treadeth clay.
ISA-41:26 Who hath declared from the beginning, that we may
know? and beforetime, that we may say, [He is] righteous? yea,
[there is] none that showeth, yea, [there is] none that
declareth, yea, [there is] none that heareth your words.
ISA-41:27 The first [shall say] to Zion, Behold, behold them:
and I will give to Jerusalem one that bringeth good tidings.
ISA-41:28 For I beheld, and [there was] no man; even among them,
and [there was] no counsellor, that, when I asked of them, could
answer a word.
ISA-41:29 Behold, they [are] all vanity; their works [are]
nothing: their molten images [are] wind and confusion.
