Isaiah 41:1--42:9

41:1

Keep silence
<02790> (8685)

before me, O islands
<0339>_;

and let the people
<03816>

renew
<02498> (8686)

[their] strength
<03581>_:

let them come near
<05066> (8799)_;

then let them speak
<01696> (8762)_:

let us come near
<07126> (8799)

together
<03162>

to judgment
<04941>_.

41:2

Who raised up
<05782> (8689)

the righteous
<06664>

[man] from the east
<04217>_,

called
<07121> (8799)

him to his foot
<07272>_,

gave
<05414> (8799)

the nations
<01471>

before
<06440>

him, and made [him] rule
<07287> (8686)

over kings
<04428>_?

he gave
<05414> (8799)

[them] as the dust
<06083>

to his sword
<02719>_,

[and] as driven
<05086> (8737)

stubble
<07179>

to his bow
<07198>_.

{the righteous...: Heb. righteousness}

41:3

He pursued
<07291> (8799)

them, [and] passed
<05674> (8799)

safely
<07965>_;

[even] by the way
<0734>

[that] he had not gone
<0935> (8799)

with his feet
<07272>_.

{safely: Heb. in peace}

41:4

Who hath wrought
<06466> (8804)

and done
<06213> (8804)

[it], calling
<07121> (8802)

the generations
<01755>

from the beginning
<07218>_?

I the LORD
<03068>_,

the first
<07223>_,

and with the last
<0314>_;

I [am] he.

41:5

The isles
<0339>

saw
<07200> (8804)

[it], and feared
<03372> (8799)_;

the ends
<07098>

of the earth
<0776>

were afraid
<02729> (8799)_,

drew near
<07126> (8804)_,

and came
<0857> (8799)_.

41:6

They helped
<05826> (8799)

every one
<0376>

his neighbour
<07453>_;

and [every one] said
<0559> (8799)

to his brother
<0251>_,

Be of good courage
<02388> (8798)_.

{Be...: Heb. Be strong}

41:7

So the carpenter
<02796>

encouraged
<02388> (8762)

the goldsmith
<06884> (8802)_,

[and] he that smootheth
<02505> (8688)

[with] the hammer
<06360>

him that smote
<01986> (8802)

the anvil
<06471>_,

saying
<0559> (8802)_,

It [is] ready
<02896>

for the sodering
<01694>_:

and he fastened
<02388> (8762)

it with nails
<04548>_,

[that] it should not be moved
<04131> (8735)_.

{goldsmith: or, founder} {him...: or, the smiting} {saying...: or, saying of the soder, It is good}

41:8

But thou, Israel
<03478>_,

[art] my servant
<05650>_,

Jacob
<03290>

whom I have chosen
<0977> (8804)_,

the seed
<02233>

of Abraham
<085>

my friend
<0157> (8802)_.

41:9

[Thou] whom I have taken
<02388> (8689)

from the ends
<07098>

of the earth
<0776>_,

and called
<07121> (8804)

thee from the chief men
<0678>

thereof, and said
<0559> (8799)

unto thee, Thou [art] my servant
<05650>_;

I have chosen
<0977> (8804)

thee, and not cast thee away
<03988> (8804)_.

41:10

Fear
<03372> (8799)

thou not; for I [am] with thee: be not dismayed
<08159> (8691)_;

for I [am] thy God
<0430>_:

I will strengthen
<0553> (8765)

thee; yea, I will help
<05826> (8804)

thee; yea, I will uphold
<08551> (8804)

thee with the right hand
<03225>

of my righteousness
<06664>_.

41:11

Behold, all they that were incensed
<02734> (8737)

against thee shall be ashamed
<0954> (8799)

and confounded
<03637> (8735)_:

they shall be as nothing; and they
<0582>

that strive
<07379>

with thee shall perish
<06> (8799)_.

{they that strive...: Heb. the men of thy strife}

41:12

Thou shalt seek
<01245> (8762)

them, and shalt not find
<04672> (8799)

them, [even] them
<0582>

that contended
<04695>

with thee: they that war
<04421>

against thee shall be as nothing, and as a thing of nought
<0657>_.

{them that...: Heb. the men of thy contention} {they...: Heb. the men of thy war}

41:13

For I the LORD
<03068>

thy God
<0430>

will hold
<02388> (8688)

thy right hand
<03225>_,

saying
<0559> (8802)

unto thee, Fear
<03372> (8799)

not; I will help
<05826> (8804)

thee.

41:14

Fear
<03372> (8799)

not, thou worm
<08438>

Jacob
<03290>_,

[and] ye men
<04962>

of Israel
<03478>_;

I will help
<05826> (8804)

thee, saith
<05002> (8803)

the LORD
<03068>_,

and thy redeemer
<01350> (8802)_,

the Holy One
<06918>

of Israel
<03478>_.

{men: or, few men}

41:15

Behold, I will make
<07760> (8804)

thee a new
<02319>

sharp
<02742>

threshing
<04173>

instrument having
<01167>

teeth
<06374>_:

thou shalt thresh
<01758> (8799)

the mountains
<02022>_,

and beat [them] small
<01854> (8799)_,

and shalt make
<07760> (8799)

the hills
<01389>

as chaff
<04671>_.

{teeth: Heb. mouths}

41:16

Thou shalt fan
<02219> (8799)

them, and the wind
<07307>

shall carry them away
<05375> (8799)_,

and the whirlwind
<05591>

shall scatter
<06327> (8686)

them: and thou shalt rejoice
<01523> (8799)

in the LORD
<03068>_,

[and] shalt glory
<01984> (8691)

in the Holy One
<06918>

of Israel
<03478>_.

41:17

[When] the poor
<06041>

and needy
<034>

seek
<01245> (8764)

water
<04325>_,

and [there is] none, [and] their tongue
<03956>

faileth
<05405> (8804)

for thirst
<06772>_,

I the LORD
<03068>

will hear
<06030> (8799)

them, I the God
<0430>

of Israel
<03478>

will not forsake
<05800> (8799)

them.

41:18

I will open
<06605> (8799)

rivers
<05104>

in high places
<08205>_,

and fountains
<04599>

in the midst
<08432>

of the valleys
<01237>_:

I will make
<07760> (8799)

the wilderness
<04057>

a pool
<098>

of water
<04325>_,

and the dry
<06723>

land
<0776>

springs
<04161>

of water
<04325>_.

41:19

I will plant
<05414> (8799)

in the wilderness
<04057>

the cedar
<0730>_,

the shittah tree
<07848>_,

and the myrtle
<01918>_,

and the oil
<08081>

tree
<06086>_;

I will set
<07760> (8799)

in the desert
<06160>

the fir tree
<01265>_,

[and] the pine
<08410>_,

and the box tree
<08391>

together
<03162>_:

41:20

That they may see
<07200> (8799)_,

and know
<03045> (8799)_,

and consider
<07760> (8799)_,

and understand
<07919> (8686)

together
<03162>_,

that the hand
<03027>

of the LORD
<03068>

hath done
<06213> (8804)

this, and the Holy One
<06918>

of Israel
<03478>

hath created
<01254> (8804)

it.

41:21

Produce
<07126> (8761)

your cause
<07379>_,

saith
<0559> (8799)

the LORD
<03068>_;

bring forth
<05066> (8685)

your strong
<06110>

[reasons], saith
<0559> (8799)

the King
<04428>

of Jacob
<03290>_.

{Produce: Heb. Cause to come near}

41:22

Let them bring [them] forth
<05066> (8686)_,

and shew
<05046> (8686)

us what shall happen
<07136> (8799)_:

let them shew
<05046> (8685)

the former things
<07223>_,

what they [be], that we may consider
<07760> (8799) <03820>

them, and know
<03045> (8799)

the latter end
<0319>

of them; or declare
<08085> (8685)

us things for to come
<0935> (8802)_.

{consider...: Heb. set our heart upon them}

41:23

Shew
<05046> (8685)

the things that are to come
<0857> (8802)

hereafter
<0268>_,

that we may know
<03045> (8799)

that ye [are] gods
<0430>_:

yea, do good
<03190> (8686)_,

or do evil
<07489> (8686)_,

that we may be dismayed
<08159> (8691)_,

and behold
<07200> (8799)

[it] together
<03162>_.

41:24

Behold, ye [are] of nothing
<0369>_,

and your work
<06467>

of nought
<0659>_:

an abomination
<08441>

[is he that] chooseth
<0977> (8799)

you. {of nothing: or, worse than nothing} {of nought: or, worse than of a viper}

41:25

I have raised up
<05782> (8689)

[one] from the north
<06828>_,

and he shall come
<0857> (8799)_:

from the rising
<04217>

of the sun
<08121>

shall he call
<07121> (8799)

upon my name
<08034>_:

and he shall come
<0935> (8799)

upon princes
<05461>

as [upon] morter
<02563>_,

and as the potter
<03335> (8802)

treadeth
<07429> (8799)

clay
<02916>_.

41:26

Who hath declared
<05046> (8689)

from the beginning
<07218>_,

that we may know
<03045> (8799)_?

and beforetime
<06440>_,

that we may say
<0559> (8799)_,

[He is] righteous
<06662>_?

yea, [there is] none that sheweth
<05046> (8688)_,

yea, [there is] none that declareth
<08085> (8688)_,

yea, [there is] none that heareth
<08085> (8802)

your words
<0561>_.

41:27

The first
<07223>

[shall say] to Zion
<06726>_,

Behold
<02009>_,

behold
<02009>

them: and I will give
<05414> (8799)

to Jerusalem
<03389>

one that bringeth good tidings
<01319> (8764)_.

41:28

For I beheld
<07200> (8799)_,

and [there was] no man
<0376>_;

even among them, and [there was] no counsellor
<03289> (8802)_,

that, when I asked
<07592> (8799)

of them, could answer
<07725> (8686)

a word
<01697>_.

{answer: Heb. return}

41:29

Behold, they [are] all vanity
<0205>_;

their works
<04639>

[are] nothing
<0657>_:

their molten images
<05262>

[are] wind
<07307>

and confusion
<08414>_.

42:1

Behold my servant
<05650>_,

whom I uphold
<08551> (8799)_;

mine elect
<0972>_,

[in whom] my soul
<05315>

delighteth
<07521> (8804)_;

I have put
<05414> (8804)

my spirit
<07307>

upon him: he shall bring forth
<03318> (8686)

judgment
<04941>

to the Gentiles
<01471>_.

42:2

He shall not cry
<06817> (8799)_,

nor lift up
<05375> (8799)_,

nor cause his voice
<06963>

to be heard
<08085> (8686)

in the street
<02351>_.

42:3

A bruised
<07533> (8803)

reed
<07070>

shall he not break
<07665> (8799)_,

and the smoking
<03544>

flax
<06594>

shall he not quench
<03518> (8762)_:

he shall bring forth
<03318> (8686)

judgment
<04941>

unto truth
<0571>_.

{smoking: or, dimly burning} {quench: Heb. quench it}

42:4

He shall not fail
<03543> (8799)

nor be discouraged
<07533> (8799)_,

till he have set
<07760> (8799)

judgment
<04941>

in the earth
<0776>_:

and the isles
<0339>

shall wait
<03176> (8762)

for his law
<08451>_.

{discouraged: Heb. broken}

42:5

Thus saith
<0559> (8804)

God
<0410>

the LORD
<03068>_,

he that created
<01254> (8802)

the heavens
<08064>_,

and stretched them out
<05186> (8802)_;

he that spread forth
<07554> (8802)

the earth
<0776>_,

and that which cometh out
<06631>

of it; he that giveth
<05414> (8802)

breath
<05397>

unto the people
<05971>

upon it, and spirit
<07307>

to them that walk
<01980> (8802)

therein:

42:6

I the LORD
<03068>

have called
<07121> (8804)

thee in righteousness
<06664>_,

and will hold
<02388> (8686)

thine hand
<03027>_,

and will keep
<05341> (8799)

thee, and give
<05414> (8799)

thee for a covenant
<01285>

of the people
<05971>_,

for a light
<0216>

of the Gentiles
<01471>_;

42:7

To open
<06491> (8800)

the blind
<05787>

eyes
<05869>_,

to bring out
<03318> (8687)

the prisoners
<0616>

from the prison
<04525>_,

[and] them that sit
<03427> (8802)

in darkness
<02822>

out of the prison
<03608>

house
<01004>_.

42:8

I [am] the LORD
<03068>_:

that [is] my name
<08034>_:

and my glory
<03519>

will I not give
<05414> (8799)

to another
<0312>_,

neither my praise
<08416>

to graven images
<06456>_.

42:9

Behold, the former things
<07223>

are come to pass
<0935> (8804)_,

and new things
<02319>

do I declare
<05046> (8688)_:

before they spring forth
<06779> (8799)

I tell
<08085> (8686)

you of them.
