Isaiah 41:5-10
Legacy Standard Bible
5 The (A)coastlands have seen and are afraid;
The (B)ends of the earth tremble;
They have drawn near and have come.
6 Each one helps his neighbor
And says to his brother, “Be strong!”
7 So the (C)craftsman strengthens the (D)smelter,
And he who smooths metal with the hammer strengthens him who beats the anvil,
Saying of the soldering, “It is good”;
And he strengthens it with nails,
(E)So that it will not be shaken.
8 “But you, Israel, (F)My servant,
Jacob whom I have chosen,
Seed of (G)Abraham My (H)friend,
9 You whom I have [a](I)strongly taken hold of from the ends of the earth,
And called from its (J)remotest parts
And said to you, ‘You are (K)My servant,
I have (L)chosen you and not rejected you.
10 Do not (M)fear, for I am with you;
Do not anxiously look about you, for I am your God.
I will make you mighty, surely (N)I will help you;
Surely I will uphold you with My righteous (O)right hand.’

the whole earth trembles.(A)
They approach and arrive.
6 Each one helps the other,
and says to another, “Take courage!”

supports the one who strikes the anvil,
saying of the soldering, “It is good.”
He fastens it with nails so that it will not fall over.(C)
8 But you, Israel, My servant,(D)
Jacob, whom I have chosen,(E)

and called you from its farthest corners.
I said to you: You are My servant;
I have chosen you and not rejected you.(G)
