Isaiah 41:5-9 Common English Bible (CEB)

5. The coastlands see and fear;the ends of the earth tremble;they draw near and arrive.

6. Each helps the other,each saying to the other, "Take courage!"

7. The craftsman encourages the metalworker;the one who smoothes with the hammerencourages the one who strikes the anvil,saying of the welding, "That’s good,"and strengthening it with nails so it won’t move.

8. But you, Israel my servant,Jacob, whom I have chosen,offspring of Abraham, whom I love,

9. you whom I took from the ends of the earthand called from its farthest corners,saying to you, "You are my servant;I chose you and didn’t reject you":
