Isaiah 41:5-7

Contemporary English Version

⁵ Islands and foreign nations
saw what I did and trembled
    as they came near.

⁶ Worshipers of idols
comfort each other,
    saying, “Don't worry!”
⁷ Woodcarvers, goldsmiths,
    and other workers^[a]
encourage one another and say,
    “We've done a great job!”
Then they nail the idol down,
    so it won't fall over.
