Isaiah 41:1-15
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 41
1
'Listen to Me in silence, you coastlands,
And let the peoples gain new strength;
Let them come forward, then let them speak;
Let’s come together for judgment.
2
Who has stirred one from the east
Whom He calls in righteousness to His feet?
He turns nations over to him
And subdues kings.
He makes them like dust with his sword,
Like the wind-driven chaff with his bow.
3
He pursues them, passing on in safety,
By a way he had not been traversing with his feet.
4
Who has performed and accomplished
it,
Summoning the generations from the beginning?
‘I, the
Lord
, am the first, and with the last. I am He.’?'
5
The coastlands have seen and are afraid;
The ends of the earth tremble;
They have approached and have come.
6
Each one helps his neighbor
And says to his brother, 'Be strong!'
7
So the craftsman encourages the smelter,
And
he who smooths
metal
with the hammer
encourages
him who beats the anvil,
Saying of the soldering, 'It is good';
And he fastens it with nails,
So that
it will not totter.
8
'But you, Israel, My servant,
Jacob whom I have chosen,
Descendant of Abraham My friend,
9
You whom I have taken from the ends of the earth
And called from its remotest parts,
And said to you, ‘You are My servant,
I have chosen you and have not rejected you.
10
Do not fear, for I am with you;
Do not be afraid, for I am your God.
I will strengthen you, I will also help you,
I will also uphold you with My righteous right hand.’
11
Behold, all those who are angered at you will be shamed and dishonored;
Those who contend with you will be as nothing and will perish.
12
You will seek those who quarrel with you, but will not find them,
Those who war with you will be as nothing and non-existent.
13
For I am the
Lord
your God who takes hold of your right hand,
Who says to you, ‘Do not fear, I will help you.’
14
Do not fear, you worm Jacob, you people of Israel;
I will help you,' declares the
Lord
, 'and your Redeemer is the Holy One of Israel.
15
Behold, I turned you into a new, sharp threshing sledge with double edges;
You will thresh the mountains and pulverize
them,
And make the hills like chaff.
King James Version
Chapter 41
1
Keep silence before me, O islands; and let the people renew their strength: let them come near; then let them speak: let us come near together to judgment.
2
Who raised up the righteous man from the east, called him to his foot, gave the nations before him, and made him rule over kings? he gave them as the dust to his sword, and as driven stubble to his bow.
3
He pursued them, and passed safely; even by the way that he had not gone with his feet.
4
Who hath wrought and done it, calling the generations from the beginning? I the
Lord
, the first, and with the last; I am he.
5
The isles saw it, and feared; the ends of the earth were afraid, drew near, and came.
6
They helped every one his neighbour; and every one said to his brother, Be of good courage.
7
So the carpenter encouraged the goldsmith, and he that smootheth with the hammer him that smote the anvil, saying, It is ready for the sodering: and he fastened it with nails, that it should not be moved.
8
But thou, Israel, art my servant, Jacob whom I have chosen, the seed of Abraham my friend.
9
Thou whom I have taken from the ends of the earth, and called thee from the chief men thereof, and said unto thee, Thou art my servant; I have chosen thee, and not cast thee away.
10
Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.
11
Behold, all they that were incensed against thee shall be ashamed and confounded: they shall be as nothing; and they that strive with thee shall perish.
12
Thou shalt seek them, and shalt not find them, even them that contended with thee: they that war against thee shall be as nothing, and as a thing of nought.
13
For I the
Lord
thy God will hold thy right hand, saying unto thee, Fear not; I will help thee.
14
Fear not, thou worm Jacob, and ye men of Israel; I will help thee, saith the
Lord
, and thy redeemer, the Holy One of Israel.
15
Behold, I will make thee a new sharp threshing instrument having teeth: thou shalt thresh the mountains, and beat them small, and shalt make the hills as chaff.
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 41
1
"Be silent before me, coasts and islands!
And let peoples renew their strength.
Let them approach; let them testify;
let’s come together for the trial.
2
Who has stirred up someone from the east?
In righteousness he calls him to serve.
The
Lord
hands nations over to him,
and he subdues kings.
He makes them like dust with his sword,
like wind-driven stubble with his bow.
3
He pursues them, going on safely,
hardly touching the path with his feet.
4
Who has performed and done this,
calling the generations from the beginning?
I am the
Lord
, the first
and with the last —I am he."
5
The coasts and islands see and are afraid,
the whole earth trembles.
They approach and arrive.
6
Each one helps the other,
and says to another, "Take courage!"
7
The craftsman encourages the metalworker;
the one who flattens with the hammer
encourages the one who strikes the anvil,
saying of the soldering, "It is good."
He fastens it with nails so that it will not fall over.
8
But you, Israel, my servant,
Jacob, whom I have chosen,
descendant of Abraham, my friend —
9
I brought you from the ends of the earth
and called you from its farthest corners.
I said to you: You are my servant;
I have chosen you; I haven’t rejected you.
10
Do not fear, for I am with you;
do not be afraid, for I am your God.
I will strengthen you; I will help you;
I will hold on to you with my righteous right hand.
11
Be sure that all who are enraged against you
will be ashamed and disgraced;
those who contend with you
will become as nothing and will perish.
12
You will look for those who contend with you,
but you will not find them.
Those who war against you
will become absolutely nothing.
13
For I am the
Lord
your God,
who holds your right hand,
who says to you, ‘Do not fear,
I will help you.
14
Do not fear, you worm Jacob,
you men of Israel.
I will help you’— this is the
Lord
’s declaration. Your Redeemer is the Holy One of Israel.
15
See, I will make you into a sharp threshing board,
new, with many teeth.
You will thresh mountains and pulverize them
and make hills into chaff.
New Living Translation
Chapter 41
1
'Listen in silence before me, you lands beyond the sea.
Bring your strongest arguments.
Come now and speak.
The court is ready for your case.
2
'Who has stirred up this king from the east,
rightly calling him to God’s service?
Who gives this man victory over many nations
and permits him to trample their kings underfoot?
With his sword, he reduces armies to dust.
With his bow, he scatters them like chaff before the wind.
3
He chases them away and goes on safely,
though he is walking over unfamiliar ground.
4
Who has done such mighty deeds,
summoning each new generation from the beginning of time?
It is I, the
Lord
, the First and the Last.
I alone am he.'
5
The lands beyond the sea watch in fear.
Remote lands tremble and mobilize for war.
6
The idol makers encourage one another,
saying to each other, 'Be strong!'
7
The carver encourages the goldsmith,
and the molder helps at the anvil.
'Good,' they say. 'It’s coming along fine.'
Carefully they join the parts together,
then fasten the thing in place so it won’t fall over.
8
'But as for you, Israel my servant,
Jacob my chosen one,
descended from Abraham my friend,
9
I have called you back from the ends of the earth,
saying, ‘You are my servant.’
For I have chosen you
and will not throw you away.
10
Don’t be afraid, for I am with you.
Don’t be discouraged, for I am your God.
I will strengthen you and help you.
I will hold you up with my victorious right hand.
11
'See, all your angry enemies lie there,
confused and humiliated.
Anyone who opposes you will die
and come to nothing.
12
You will look in vain
for those who tried to conquer you.
Those who attack you
will come to nothing.
13
For I hold you by your right hand —
I, the
Lord
your God.
And I say to you,
‘Don’t be afraid. I am here to help you.
14
Though you are a lowly worm, O Jacob,
don’t be afraid, people of Israel, for I will help you.
I am the
Lord
, your Redeemer.
I am the Holy One of Israel.’
15
You will be a new threshing instrument
with many sharp teeth.
You will tear your enemies apart,
making chaff of mountains.
English Standard Version
Chapter 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.
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.
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 coastlands have seen and are afraid;
the ends of the earth tremble;
they have drawn near and come.
6
Everyone helps his neighbor
and says to his brother, "Be strong!"
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.
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 righteous right hand.
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.
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.
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."
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.
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;
New International Version
Chapter 41
1
"Be silent before me, you islands!
Let the nations renew their strength!
Let them come forward and speak;
let us meet together at the place of judgment.
2
"Who has stirred up one from the east,
calling him in righteousness to his service ?
He hands nations over to him
and subdues kings before him.
He turns them to dust with his sword,
to windblown chaff with his bow.
3
He pursues them and moves on unscathed,
by a path his feet have not traveled before.
4
Who has done this and carried it through,
calling forth the generations from the beginning?
I, the
Lord
—with the first of them
and with the last—I am he."
5
The islands have seen it and fear;
the ends of the earth tremble.
They approach and come forward;
6
they help each other
and say to their companions, "Be strong!"
7
The metalworker encourages the goldsmith,
and the one who smooths with the hammer
spurs on the one who strikes the anvil.
One says of the welding, "It is good."
The other nails down the idol so it will not topple.
8
"But you, Israel, my servant,
Jacob, whom I have chosen,
you descendants of Abraham my friend,
9
I took you from the ends of the earth,
from its farthest corners I called you.
I said, ‘You are my servant’;
I have chosen you and have not rejected you.
10
So do not fear, for I am with you;
do not be dismayed, for I am your God.
I will strengthen you and help you;
I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.
11
"All who rage against you
will surely be ashamed and disgraced;
those who oppose you
will be as nothing and perish.
12
Though you search for your enemies,
you will not find them.
Those who wage war against you
will be as nothing at all.
13
For I am the
Lord
your God
who takes hold of your right hand
and says to you, Do not fear;
I will help you.
14
Do not be afraid, you worm Jacob,
little Israel, do not fear,
for I myself will help you," declares the
Lord
,
your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel.
15
"See, I will make you into a threshing sledge,
new and sharp, with many teeth.
You will thresh the mountains and crush them,
and reduce the hills to chaff.
New King James Version
Chapter 41
1
“Keep silence before Me, O coastlands,
And let the people renew
their
strength!
Let them come near, then let them speak;
Let us come near together for judgment.
2
“Who raised up one from the east?
Who in righteousness called him to His feet?
Who gave the nations before him,
And made
him
rule over kings?
Who gave
them
as the dust
to
his sword,
As driven stubble to his bow?
3
Who pursued them,
and
passed safely
By the way
that
he had not gone with his feet?
4
Who has performed and done
it,
Calling the generations from the beginning?
‘I, the
Lord
, am the first;
And with the last I
am
He.’ ”
5
The coastlands saw
it
and feared,
The ends of the earth were afraid;
They drew near and came.
6
Everyone helped his neighbor,
And said to his brother,
“Be of good courage!”
7
So the craftsman encouraged the goldsmith;
He who smooths
with
the hammer
inspired
him who strikes the anvil,
Saying, “It
is
ready for the soldering”;
Then he fastened it with pegs,
That
it might not totter.
8
“But you, Israel,
are
My servant,
Jacob whom I have chosen,
The descendants of Abraham My friend.
9
You
whom I have taken from the ends of the earth,
And called from its farthest regions,
And said to you,
‘You
are
My servant,
I have chosen you and have not cast you away:
10
Fear not, for I
am
with you;
Be not dismayed, for I
am
your God.
I will strengthen you,
Yes, I will help you,
I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.’
11
“Behold, all those who were incensed against you
Shall be ashamed and disgraced;
They shall be as nothing,
And those who strive with you shall perish.
12
You shall seek them and not find them—
Those who contended with you.
Those who war against you
Shall be as nothing,
As a nonexistent thing.
13
For I, the
Lord
your God, will hold your right hand,
Saying to you, ‘Fear not, I will help you.’
14
“Fear not, you worm Jacob,
You men of Israel!
I will help you,” says the
Lord
And your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel.
15
“Behold, I will make you into a new threshing sledge with sharp teeth;
You shall thresh the mountains and beat
them
small,
And make the hills like chaff.
