Israel Assured of God’s Help

41"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.H2790H339H3816H2498H3581H5066H1696H7126H3162H4941 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?H5782H6664H4217H7121H7272H5414H1471H6440H7287H4428H5414H6083H2719H5086H7179H7198 3Who pursued them, and passed safely By the way that he had not gone with his feet?H7291H5674H7965H734H935H7272 4Who has performed and done it, Calling the generations from the beginning? 'I, the LORD, am the first; And with the last I am He.'"H6466H6213H7121H1755H7218H3068H7223H314 5The coastlands saw it and feared, The ends of the earth were afraid; They drew near and came.H339H7200H3372H7098H776H2729H7126H857 6Everyone helped his neighbor, And said to his brother, "Be of good courage!"H5826H376H7453H559H251H2388 7So 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.H2796H2388H6884H2505H6360H1986H6471H559H2896H1694H2388H4548H4131 8"But you, Israel, are My servant, Jacob whom I have chosen, The descendants of Abraham My friend.H3478H5650H3290H977H2233H85H157 9You 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:H2388H7098H776H7121H678H559H5650H977H3988 10Fear 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.'H3372H8159H430H553H5826H8551H3225H6664 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.H2734H954H3637H582H7379H6 12You 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.H1245H4672H582H4695H4421H657 13For I, the LORD your God, will hold your right hand, Saying to you, 'Fear not, I will help you.'H3068H430H2388H3225H559H3372H5826 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.H3372H8438H3290H4962H3478H5826H5002H3068H1350H6918H3478 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.H7760H2319H2742H4173H1167H6374H1758H2022H1854H7760H1389H4671 16You shall winnow them, the wind shall carry them away, And the whirlwind shall scatter them; You shall rejoice in the LORD, And glory in the Holy One of Israel.H2219H7307H5375H5591H6327H1523H3068H1984H6918H3478 17"The poor and needy seek water, but there is none, Their tongues fail for thirst. I, the LORD, will hear them; I, the God of Israel, will not forsake them.H6041H34H1245H4325H3956H5405H6772H3068H6030H430H3478H5800 18I will open rivers in desolate 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.H6605H5104H8205H4599H8432H1237H7760H4057H98H4325H6723H776H4161H4325 19I will plant in the wilderness the cedar and the acacia tree, The myrtle and the oil tree; I will set in the desert the cypress tree and the pine And the box tree together,H5414H4057H730H7848H1918H8081H6086H7760H6160H1265H8410H8391H3162 20That they may see and know, And consider and understand together, That the hand of the LORD has done this, And the Holy One of Israel has created it.H7200H3045H7760H7919H3162H3027H3068H6213H6918H3478H1254

The Futility of Idols

21"Present your case," says the LORD. "Bring forth your strong reasons," says the King of Jacob.H7126H7379H559H3068H5066H6110H559H4428H3290 22"Let them bring forth and show us what will happen; Let them show the former things, what they were, That we may consider them, And know the latter end of them; Or declare to us things to come.H5066H5046H7136H5046H7223H7760H3820H3045H319H8085H935 23Show 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.H5046H857H268H3045H430H3190H7489H8159H7200H3162 24Indeed you are nothing, And your work is nothing; He who chooses you is an abomination.H369H6467H659H8441H977 25"I have raised up one from the north, And he shall come; From the rising of the sun he shall call on My name; And he shall come against princes as though mortar, As the potter treads clay.H5782H6828H857H4217H8121H7121H8034H935H5461H2563H3335H7429H2916 26Who has declared from the beginning, that we may know? And former times, that we may say, 'He is righteous'? Surely there is no one who shows, Surely there is no one who declares, Surely there is no one who hears your words.H5046H7218H3045H6440H559H6662H5046H8085H8085H561 27The first time I said to Zion, 'Look, there they are!' And I will give to Jerusalem one who brings good tidings.H7223H6726H2009H2009H5414H3389H1319 28For I looked, and there was no man; I looked among them, but there was no counselor, Who, when I asked of them, could answer a word.H7200H376H3289H7592H7725H1697 29Indeed they are all worthless; Their works are nothing; Their molded images are wind and confusion.H205H4639H657H5262H7307H8414
