Isaiah 41:5-7

The Voice

⁵ The lands along the seacoast have seen and are scared.
    The ends of earth take to shaking and yet still they draw near.
⁶ They try to bolster each other up saying,
    “Have courage, brother, have courage!”
⁷ Recognizing their mutual dependence, the artisan encourages the goldsmith;
    the one who hammers the metal emboldens the one who welds,
Saying, “Looks good! Fine job!” and fastens the idols together with nails,
    making it stand firm and stable.
