Isaiah 41:1-18

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)_,

<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>

<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

will not forsake

them.

I will open
<06605> (8799)

<05104>

in high places

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>

<0776>

springs
<04161>

of water
<04325>_.
