    41:1 Keep silence before me, islands; and let the peoples renew their strength: let them come near; then let them speak; let us come near together to judgment.

    41:2 Who has raised up one from the east, whom he calls in righteousness to his foot? he gives nations before him, and makes him rule over kings; he gives them as the dust to his sword, as the driven stubble to his bow.

    41:3 He pursues them, and passes on safely, even by a way that he had not gone with his feet.

    41:4 Who has worked and done it, calling the generations from the beginning? I, Yahweh, the first, and with the last, I am he.

    41:5 The isles have seen, and fear; the ends of the earth tremble; they draw near, and come.

    41:6 They help everyone his neighbor; and [every one] says to his brother, Be of good courage.

    41:7 So the carpenter encourages the goldsmith, [and] he who smoothes with the hammer him who strikes the anvil, saying of the soldering, It is good; and he fastens it with nails, that is should not be moved.

    41:8 But you, Israel, my servant, Jacob whom I have chosen, the seed of Abraham my friend,

    41:9 you whom I have taken hold of from the ends of the earth, and called from the corners of it, and said to you, You are my servant, I have chosen you and not cast you away;

    41:10 Don`t you be afraid, for I am with you; don`t be dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you; yes, I will help you; yes, I will uphold you with the right hand of my righteousness.

    41:11 Behold, all those who are incensed against you shall be put to shame and confounded: those who strive with you shall be as nothing, and shall perish.

    41:12 You shall seek them, and shall not find them, even those who contend with you: those who war against you shall be as nothing, and as a thing of nothing.

    41:13 For I, Yahweh your God, will hold your right hand, saying to you, Don`t be afraid; I will help you.

    41:14 Don`t be afraid, you worm Jacob, and you men of Israel; I will help you, says Yahweh, and your Redeemer is the Holy One of Israel.

    41:15 Behold, I have made you [to be] a new sharp threshing instrument having teeth; you shall thresh the mountains, and beat them small, and shall make the hills as chaff.

    41:16 You shall winnow them, and the wind shall carry them away, and the whirlwind shall scatter them; and you shall rejoice in Yahweh, you shall glory in the Holy One of Israel.

    41:17 The poor and needy seek water, and there is none, and their tongue fails for thirst; I, Yahweh, will answer them, I, the God of Israel, will not forsake them.

    41:18 I will open rivers on the bare heights, and springs in the midst of the valleys; I will make the wilderness a pool of water, and the dry land springs of water.

    41:19 I will put in the wilderness the cedar, the acacia, and the myrtle, and the oil-tree; I will set in the desert the fir-tree, the pine, and the box-tree together:

    41:20 that they may see, and know, and consider, and understand together, that the hand of Yahweh has done this, and the Holy One of Israel has created it.

    41:21 Produce your cause, says Yahweh; bring forth your strong reasons, says the King of Jacob.

    41:22 Let them bring forth, and declare to us what shall happen: declare you the former things, what they are, that we may consider them, and know the latter end of them; or show us things to come.

    41:23 Declare the things that are to come hereafter, that we may know that you are gods: yes, do good, or do evil, that we may be dismayed, and see it together.

    41:24 Behold, you are of nothing, and your work is of nothing; an abomination is he who chooses you.

    41:25 I have raised up one from the north, and he has come; from the rising of the sun one who calls on my name: and he shall come on rulers as on mortar, and as the potter treads clay.

    41:26 Who has declared it from the beginning, that we may know? and before, that we may say, [He is] right? yes, there is none who declares, yes, there is none who shows, yes, there is none who hears your words.

    41:27 [I am the] first [who says] to Zion, Behold, behold them; and I will give to Jerusalem one who brings good news.

    41:28 When I look, there is no man: even among them there is no counselor who, when I ask of them, can answer a word.

    41:29 Behold, all of them, their works are vanity [and] nothing; their molten images are wind and confusion.
