Isaiah 41:5-10
Lexham English Bible
5 The coastlands have seen and are afraid;
the ends of the earth tremble.
They have drawn near,
and they have come.
6 Each one helps[a] his neighbor;
he says to his brother, “Take courage!”
7 And the artisan encourages the goldsmith,[b]
the one who makes smooth with the hammer encourages the one who strikes the anvil,
saying of the soldering, “It is good!”
And they strengthen it with nails so it cannot be knocked over.
8 But[c] you, Israel, my servant, Jacob, whom I have chosen,
you, the offspring[d] of Abraham my friend,[e]
9 you whom I grasped from the ends of the earth
and called from its remotest parts
and told, “You are my servant;
I have chosen you and I have not rejected you.”
10 You must not fear, for I am with you;
you must not be afraid, for I am your God.
I will strengthen you, indeed I will help you,
indeed I will take hold of you with the right hand of my salvation.

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.
