41:1 Keep silence 2790 8685 before me, O islands 339; and let the people 3816 renew 2498 8686 [their] strength 3581: let them come near 5066 8799; then let them speak 1696 8762: let us come near 7126 8799 together 3162 to judgment 4941.

41:2 Who raised up 5782 8689 the righteous 6664 [man] from the east 4217, called 7121 8799 him to his foot 7272, gave 5414 8799 the nations 1471 before 6440 him, and made [him] rule 7287 8686 over kings 4428? he gave 5414 8799 [them] as the dust 6083 to his sword 2719, [and] as driven 5086 8737 stubble 7179 to his bow 7198.(the righteous…: Heb. righteousness)

41:3 He pursued 7291 8799 them, [and] passed 5674 8799 safely 7965; [even] by the way 734 [that] he had not gone 935 8799 with his feet 7272.(safely: Heb. in peace)

41:4 Who hath wrought 6466 8804 and done 6213 8804 [it], calling 7121 8802 the generations 1755 from the beginning 7218? I the LORD 3068, the first 7223, and with the last 314; I [am] he.

41:5 The isles 339 saw 7200 8804 [it], and feared 3372 8799; the ends 7098 of the earth 776 were afraid 2729 8799, drew near 7126 8804, and came 857 8799.

41:6 They helped 5826 8799 every one 376 his neighbour 7453; and [every one] said 559 8799 to his brother 251, Be of good courage 2388 8798.(Be…: Heb. Be strong)

41:7 So the carpenter 2796 encouraged 2388 8762 the goldsmith 6884 8802, [and] he that smootheth 2505 8688 [with] the hammer 6360 him that smote 1986 8802 the anvil 6471, saying 559 8802, It [is] ready 2896 for the sodering 1694: and he fastened 2388 8762 it with nails 4548, [that] it should not be moved 4131 8735.(goldsmith: or, founder)(him…: or, the smiting)(saying…: or, saying of the soder, It is good)

41:8 But thou, Israel 3478, [art] my servant 5650, Jacob 3290 whom I have chosen 977 8804, the seed 2233 of Abraham 85 my friend 157 8802.

41:9 [Thou] whom I have taken 2388 8689 from the ends 7098 of the earth 776, and called 7121 8804 thee from the chief men 678 thereof, and said 559 8799 unto thee, Thou [art] my servant 5650; I have chosen 977 8804 thee, and not cast thee away 3988 8804.

41:10 Fear 3372 8799 thou not; for I [am] with thee: be not dismayed 8159 8691; for I [am] thy God 430: I will strengthen 553 8765 thee; yea, I will help 5826 8804 thee; yea, I will uphold 8551 8804 thee with the right hand 3225 of my righteousness 6664.

41:11 Behold, all they that were incensed 2734 8737 against thee shall be ashamed 954 8799 and confounded 3637 8735: they shall be as nothing; and they 582 that strive 7379 with thee shall perish 6 8799.(they that strive…: Heb. the men of thy strife)

41:12 Thou shalt seek 1245 8762 them, and shalt not find 4672 8799 them, [even] them 582 that contended 4695 with thee: they that war 4421 against thee shall be as nothing, and as a thing of nought 657.(them that…: Heb. the men of thy contention)(they…: Heb. the men of thy war)

41:13 For I the LORD 3068 thy God 430 will hold 2388 8688 thy right hand 3225, saying 559 8802 unto thee, Fear 3372 8799 not; I will help 5826 8804 thee.

41:14 Fear 3372 8799 not, thou worm 8438 Jacob 3290, [and] ye men 4962 of Israel 3478; I will help 5826 8804 thee, saith 5002 8803 the LORD 3068, and thy redeemer 1350 8802, the Holy One 6918 of Israel 3478.(men: or, few men)

41:15 Behold, I will make 7760 8804 thee a new 2319 sharp 2742 threshing 4173 instrument having 1167 teeth 6374: thou shalt thresh 1758 8799 the mountains 2022, and beat [them] small 1854 8799, and shalt make 7760 8799 the hills 1389 as chaff 4671.(teeth: Heb. mouths)

41:16 Thou shalt fan 2219 8799 them, and the wind 7307 shall carry them away 5375 8799, and the whirlwind 5591 shall scatter 6327 8686 them: and thou shalt rejoice 1523 8799 in the LORD 3068, [and] shalt glory 1984 8691 in the Holy One 6918 of Israel 3478.

41:17 [When] the poor 6041 and needy 34 seek 1245 8764 water 4325, and [there is] none, [and] their tongue 3956 faileth 5405 8804 for thirst 6772, I the LORD 3068 will hear 6030 8799 them, I the God 430 of Israel 3478 will not forsake 5800 8799 them.

41:18 I will open 6605 8799 rivers 5104 in high places 8205, and fountains 4599 in the midst 8432 of the valleys 1237: I will make 7760 8799 the wilderness 4057 a pool 98 of water 4325, and the dry 6723 land 776 springs 4161 of water 4325.

41:19 I will plant 5414 8799 in the wilderness 4057 the cedar 730, the shittah tree 7848, and the myrtle 1918, and the oil 8081 tree 6086; I will set 7760 8799 in the desert 6160 the fir tree 1265, [and] the pine 8410, and the box tree 8391 together 3162:

41:20 That they may see 7200 8799, and know 3045 8799, and consider 7760 8799, and understand 7919 8686 together 3162, that the hand 3027 of the LORD 3068 hath done 6213 8804 this, and the Holy One 6918 of Israel 3478 hath created 1254 8804 it.

41:21 Produce 7126 8761 your cause 7379, saith 559 8799 the LORD 3068; bring forth 5066 8685 your strong 6110 [reasons], saith 559 8799 the King 4428 of Jacob 3290.(Produce: Heb. Cause to come near)

41:22 Let them bring [them] forth 5066 8686, and shew 5046 8686 us what shall happen 7136 8799: let them shew 5046 8685 the former things 7223, what they [be], that we may consider 7760 8799 3820 them, and know 3045 8799 the latter end 319 of them; or declare 8085 8685 us things for to come 935 8802.(consider…: Heb. set our heart upon them)

41:23 Shew 5046 8685 the things that are to come 857 8802 hereafter 268, that we may know 3045 8799 that ye [are] gods 430: yea, do good 3190 8686, or do evil 7489 8686, that we may be dismayed 8159 8691, and behold 7200 8799 [it] together 3162.

41:24 Behold, ye [are] of nothing 369, and your work 6467 of nought 659: an abomination 8441 [is he that] chooseth 977 8799 you.(of nothing: or, worse than nothing)(of nought: or, worse than of a viper)

41:25 I have raised up 5782 8689 [one] from the north 6828, and he shall come 857 8799: from the rising 4217 of the sun 8121 shall he call 7121 8799 upon my name 8034: and he shall come 935 8799 upon princes 5461 as [upon] morter 2563, and as the potter 3335 8802 treadeth 7429 8799 clay 2916.

41:26 Who hath declared 5046 8689 from the beginning 7218, that we may know 3045 8799? and beforetime 6440, that we may say 559 8799, [He is] righteous 6662? yea, [there is] none that sheweth 5046 8688, yea, [there is] none that declareth 8085 8688, yea, [there is] none that heareth 8085 8802 your words 561.

41:27 The first 7223 [shall say] to Zion 6726, Behold 2009, behold 2009 them: and I will give 5414 8799 to Jerusalem 3389 one that bringeth good tidings 1319 8764.

41:28 For I beheld 7200 8799, and [there was] no man 376; even among them, and [there was] no counsellor 3289 8802, that, when I asked 7592 8799 of them, could answer 7725 8686 a word 1697.(answer: Heb. return)

41:29 Behold, they [are] all vanity 205; their works 4639 [are] nothing 657: their molten images 5262 [are] wind 7307 and confusion 8414.
