Passages – Isaiah 41 – I Have Chosen You


Isaiah 41 I Have Chosen You

Isaiah 41:1-10

Israel Assured of God’s Help

1 Listen to me in silence, O islands;
let the peoples renew their strength;
let them approach, then let them speak;
let us together draw near for judgment.

2 Who stirred up one from the east
whom victory meets at every step?
He gives up nations before him,
so that he tramples kings under foot;
he makes them like dust with his sword,
like driven stubble with his bow.

3 He pursues them and passes on safely,
by paths his feet have not trod.

4 Who has performed and done this,
calling the generations from the beginning?
I, the LORD, the first,
and with the last; I am He.

5 The islands have seen and are afraid,
the ends of the earth tremble;
they have drawn near and come.

6 Every one helps his neighbor,
and says to his brother, “Take courage!”

7 The craftsman encourages the goldsmith,
and he who smooths with the hammer him who strikes the anvil,
saying of the soldering, “It is good”;
and they fasten it with nails so that it cannot be moved.

8 But you, Israel, my servant,
Jacob, whom I have chosen,
the offspring of Abraham, my friend;

9 you whom I took from the ends of the earth,
and called from its farthest corners,
saying to you, “You are my servant,
I have chosen you and not cast you off”;

10 fear not, for I am with you,
be not dismayed, for I am your God;
I will strengthen you, I will help you,
I will uphold you with my victorious right hand.
