Isaiah 41

Isa 41:1 Be quiet before Me, O coasts; and let peoples renew their power. They come near; then they speak: Let us draw near together for judgment.
Isa 41:2 Who raised up the righteous one from the east? He called him to His foot; He gives nations before him, and subdues kings; He gives them as dust to his sword, as driven stubble to his bow;
Isa 41:3 He pursues them; he passes on in peace; he does not go by the way with his feet.
Isa 41:4 Who has planned and done it, calling forth the generations from the beginning? I Jehovah am the first and the last; I am He.
Isa 41:5 The coasts have seen and fear; the ends of the earth tremble; they have drawn near; yea, they come.
Isa 41:6 Each man helps his neighbor, and says to his brother, Be strong.
Isa 41:7 So the carver strengthens the refiner; and he smoothing with the hammer, him who struck the anvil, saying of the soldering, It is good. And he made it strong with nails; it will not totter.
Isa 41:8 But you Israel are My servant, Jacob whom I have elected; the seed of My friend Abraham;
Isa 41:9 whom I have made strong from the ends of the earth, and called you from its sides; and I said to you, You are My servant. I elected you, and have not rejected you.
Isa 41:10 Do not fear, for I am with you; do not gaze about, for I am your God; I will make you strong; yea, I will help you; yes, I will uphold you with the right hand of My righteousness.
Isa 41:11 Behold, they all shall be humiliated, all who are provoked with you; they shall be as nothing; men who contend with you shall perish.
Isa 41:12 You shall seek them and shall not find them; men of your strife shall be as nothing, even men of your battle as ceasing.
Isa 41:13 For I, Jehovah your God am strengthening your right hand, who says to you, Do not fear I will help you.
Isa 41:14 Fear not, worm of Jacob, men of Israel; I will help you, states Jehovah, and your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel.
Isa 41:15 Behold! I have made you a new sharp threshing instrument, a master of teeth; you shall thresh mountains and beat them small, and shall make hills like the chaff.
Isa 41:16 You shall winnow them, and the wind will carry them away, and the tempest will scatter them. And you shall rejoice in Jehovah; you shall glory in the Holy One of Israel.
Isa 41:17 The poor and the needy seek water, and there is none; their tongue is parched for thirst. I, Jehovah will hear them; the God of Israel will not leave them.
Isa 41:18 I will open rivers in bare places, and fountains in the midst of valleys; I will make the desert for a pool of water, and the dry land springs of water.
Isa 41:19 I will plant cedar in the wilderness, acacia, and myrtle, and the oil tree; I will set fir, pine and boxwood together in the desert;
Isa 41:20 so that they may see, and know, and set up, and understand together, that the hand of Jehovah has done this; and the Holy One of Israel has created it.
Isa 41:21 Bring your cause, says Jehovah; let your strong reasons come near, says the King of Jacob.
Isa 41:22 Let them draw near and tell us what shall happen; the former things, let them reveal what they are, that we may set our heart and know their end; or declare to us the coming things.
Isa 41:23 Reveal the near things hereafter, so that we may know that you are gods. Yea, do good, or do evil, that we may gaze and see together.
Isa 41:24 Behold, you are of nothing; and your work of nothing; he who chooses you is an abomination.
Isa 41:25 I have raised up one from the north; and he shall come from the east; he will call on My name. And he shall come upon rulers as on mortar, and as a potter tramples clay.
Isa 41:26 Who has declared from the beginning, that we may know; and before, that we may say, He is right? Yea, no one declares; yea, no one proclaims; yea, there is no one who hears your words.
Isa 41:27 At first to Zion, I say, Behold! Behold them! And I will give to Jerusalem one proclaiming good news.
Isa 41:28 But I saw, and there was not a man; and of these, there was not a counselor, that I may ask them, and they could return a word.
Isa 41:29 Behold, they are all evil; their works are nothing; their images are wind and vanity.

On this day...
