Isaiah 41:1 Keep silence before me, coastlands! Let the peoples replenish their strength! Let them approach; then let them speak. Let us assemble for judgment. 2 Who has raised from the east one who is just and called him to be in his service? He hands nations over to him and subjects kings to him; his sword reduces them to dust, his bow to driven straw. 3 He pursues them, passing on unscathed, hardly touching the path with his feet. 4 Whose work is this? Who has brought it about? He who called the generations from the beginning, I, ADONAI, am the first; and I am the same with those who are last. 5 The coastlands have seen and became afraid. The ends of the earth have trembled. They have approached, and now they have come. 6 Every one helps his fellow workman, everyone says to his brother, Be strong! 7 The woodworker encourages the goldsmith, the polisher encourages the hammerer; he says of the soldering, Yes, thats good, then puts nails in [the idol] to keep it from moving. 8 But you, Israel, my servant; Yaakov, whom I have chosen, descendants of Avraham my friend, 9 I have taken you from the ends of the earth, summoned you from its most distant parts and said to you, You are my servant - I have chosen you, not rejected you. 10 Dont be afraid, for I am with you; dont be distressed, for I am your God. I give you strength, I give you help, I support you with my victorious right hand. 11 All those who were angry with you will be disgraced, put to shame; those who fought against you will be destroyed, brought to nothing. 12 You will seek them but not find them, those who contended with you; yes, those who made war with you will be brought to nothing, nothing at all. 13 For I, ADONAI, your God, say to you, as I hold your right hand, Have no fear; I will help you.
