Isaiah 41:5-10

21st Century 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 neighbor, 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 soldering”; 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.
