Isaiah 41:5-10
English Standard Version
5 (A)The coastlands have seen and are afraid;
the ends of the earth tremble;
they have drawn near and come.
6 Everyone helps his neighbor
and says to his brother, “Be strong!”
7 (B)The craftsman strengthens the goldsmith,
and he who smooths with the hammer him who strikes the anvil,
saying of the soldering, “It is good”;
and they strengthen it with nails (C)so that it cannot be moved.
8 But you, Israel, (D)my servant,
Jacob, (E)whom I have chosen,
the offspring of Abraham, (F)my friend;
9 you whom I took from the ends of the earth,
and called (G)from its farthest corners,
saying to you, “You are (H)my servant,
(I)I have chosen you and not cast you off”;
10 fear not, for I am with you;
be not dismayed, for I am your God;
I will strengthen you, I will help you,
I will uphold you with (J)my righteous right hand.
Isaiah 41:5-10
Holman Christian Standard Bible
5 The islands see and are afraid,
the whole earth trembles.(A)
They approach and arrive.
6 Each one helps the other,
and says to another, “Take courage!”
7 The craftsman encourages the metalworker;(B)
the one who flattens with the hammer
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)
descendant of Abraham, My friend(F)—
9 I brought[a] you from the ends of the earth
and called you from its farthest corners.
I said to you: You are My servant;
I have chosen you and not rejected you.(G)
10 Do not fear, for I am with you;(H)
do not be afraid, for I am your God.(I)
I will strengthen you; I will help you;
I will hold on to you with My righteous right hand.(J)
