41:1 Listen
to
me
in
silence,
O
coastlands;
let
the
peoples
renew
their
strength;
let
them
approach,
then
let
them
speak;
let
us
together
draw
near
for
judgment.
41:2 Who
stirred
up
one
from
the
east
whom
victory
meets
at
every
step
He
gives
up
nations
before
him,
so
that
he
tramples
kings
underfoot;
he
makes
them
like
dust
with
his
sword,
like
driven
stubble
with
his
bow.
41:3 He
pursues
them
and
passes
on
safely,
by
paths
his
feet
have
not
trod.
41:4 Who
has
performed
and
done
this,
calling
the
generations
from
the
beginning
I,
the
LORD,
the
first,
and
with
the
last;
I
am
he.
41:5 The
coastlands
have
seen
and
are
afraid;
the
ends
of
the
earth
tremble;
they
have
drawn
near
and
come.
41:6 Everyone
helps
his
neighbor
and
says
to
his
brother,
"Be
strong!"
41:7 The
craftsman
strengthens
the
goldsmith,
and
he
who
smooths
with
the
hammer
him
who
strikes
the
anvil,
saying
of
the
soldering,
"It
is
good";
and
they
strengthen
it
with
nails
so
that
it
cannot
be
moved.
41:8 But
you,
Israel,
my
servant,
Jacob,
whom
I
have
chosen,
the
offspring
of
Abraham,
my
friend;
41:9 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";
41:10 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
righteous
right
hand.
41:11 Behold,
all
who
are
incensed
against
you
shall
be
put
to
shame
and
confounded;
those
who
strive
against
you
shall
be
as
nothing
and
shall
perish.
41:12 You
shall
seek
those
who
contend
with
you,
but
you
shall
not
find
them;
those
who
war
against
you
shall
be
as
nothing
at
all.
41:13 For
I,
the
LORD
your
God,
hold
your
right
hand;
it
is
I
who
say
to
you,
"Fear
not,
I
am
the
one
who
helps
you."
41:14 Fear
not,
you
worm
Jacob,
you
men
of
Israel!
I
am
the
one
who
helps
you,
declares
the
LORD;
your
Redeemer
is
the
Holy
One
of
Israel.
41:15 Behold,
I
make
of
you
a
threshing
sledge,
new,
sharp,
and
having
teeth;
you
shall
thresh
the
mountains
and
crush
them,
and
you
shall
make
the
hills
like
chaff;
41:16 you
shall
winnow
them,
and
the
wind
shall
carry
them
away,
and
the
tempest
shall
scatter
them.
And
you
shall
rejoice
in
the
LORD;
in
the
Holy
One
of
Israel
you
shall
glory.
41:17 When
the
poor
and
needy
seek
water,
and
there
is
none,
and
their
tongue
is
parched
with
thirst,
I
the
LORD
will
answer
them;
I
the
God
of
Israel
will
not
forsake
them.
41:18 I
will
open
rivers
on
the
bare
heights,
and
fountains
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,
the
myrtle,
and
the
olive.
I
will
set
in
the
desert
the
cypress,
the
plane
and
the
pine
together,
41:20 that
they
may
see
and
know,
may
consider
and
understand
together,
that
the
hand
of
the
LORD
has
done
this,
the
Holy
One
of
Israel
has
created
it.
41:21 Set
forth
your
case,
says
the
LORD;
bring
your
proofs,
says
the
King
of
Jacob.
41:22 Let
them
bring
them,
and
tell
us
what
is
to
happen.
Tell
us
the
former
things,
what
they
are,
that
we
may
consider
them,
that
we
may
know
their
outcome;
or
declare
to
us
the
things
to
come.
41:23 Tell
us
what
is
to
come
hereafter,
that
we
may
know
that
you
are
gods;
do
good,
or
do
harm,
that
we
may
be
dismayed
and
terrified.
41:24 Behold,
you
are
nothing,
and
your
work
is
less
than
nothing;
an
abomination
is
he
who
chooses
you.
41:25 I
stirred
up
one
from
the
north,
and
he
has
come,
from
the
rising
of
the
sun,
and
he
shall
call
upon
my
name;
he
shall
trample
on
rulers
as
on
mortar,
as
the
potter
treads
clay.
41:26 Who
declared
it
from
the
beginning,
that
we
might
know,
and
beforehand,
that
we
might
say,
"He
is
right"
There
was
none
who
declared
it,
none
who
proclaimed,
none
who
heard
your
words.
41:27 I
was
the
first
to
say
to
Zion,
"Behold,
here
they
are!"
and
I
give
to
Jerusalem
a
herald
of
good
news.
41:28 But
when
I
look,
there
is
no
one;
among
these
there
is
no
counselor
who,
when
I
ask,
gives
an
answer.
41:29 Behold,
they
are
all
a
delusion;
their
works
are
nothing;
their
metal
images
are
empty
wind.
