Isaiah 41:5-10
New International Version
Isaiah 41:5-10
New International Version
5 The islands(A) have seen it and fear;
the ends of the earth(B) tremble.
They approach and come forward;
6 they help each other
and say to their companions, “Be strong!(C)”
7 The metalworker(D) encourages the goldsmith,(E)
and the one who smooths with the hammer
spurs on the one who strikes the anvil.
One says of the welding, “It is good.”
The other nails down the idol so it will not topple.(F)
8 “But you, Israel, my servant,(G)
Jacob, whom I have chosen,(H)
you descendants of Abraham(I) my friend,(J)
9 I took you from the ends of the earth,(K)
from its farthest corners I called(L) you.
I said, ‘You are my servant’;(M)
I have chosen(N) you and have not rejected you.
10 So do not fear,(O) for I am with you;(P)
do not be dismayed, for I am your God.
I will strengthen(Q) you and help(R) you;
I will uphold you(S) with my righteous right hand.(T)

5 The coasts and islands see and are afraid,
the whole earth trembles.(A)
They approach and arrive.

Isaiah 41:5-10
King James Version
Isaiah 41:5-10
King James Version
5 The isles saw it, and feared; the ends of the earth were afraid, drew near, and came.
6 They helped every one his neighbour; and every one said to his brother, Be of good courage.
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 sodering: and he fastened it with nails, that it should not be moved.
8 But thou, Israel, art my servant, Jacob whom I have chosen, the seed of Abraham my friend.
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.
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.
