Isaiah 41:5-10
5The acoastlands have seen and are afraid;The bends of the earth tremble;They have drawn near and have come.6Each one helps his neighborAnd says to his brother, “Be strong!”7So the acraftsman strengthens the bsmelter,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,cSo that it will not be shaken.8“But you, Israel, aMy servant,Jacob whom I have chosen,Seed of bAbraham My cfriend,9You whom I have 1,astrongly taken hold of from the ends of the earth,And called from its bremotest partsAnd said to you, ‘You are cMy servant,I have dchosen you and not rejected you.10‘Do not afear, for I am with you;Do not anxiously look about you, for I am your God.I will make you mighty, surely bI will help you;Surely I will uphold you with My righteous cright hand.’
