updv - 41

updv@Isaiah:41:1 @ Keep silent before me, O islands; and let the peoples renew their strength: let them come near; then let them speak; let us come near together to judgment.

updv@Isaiah:41:2 @ Who has raised up one from the east, whom he calls in righteousness to his foot? He gives nations before him, and makes him rule over kings; he gives them as the dust to his sword, as the driven stubble to his bow.

updv@Isaiah:41:3 @ He pursues them, and passes on safely, even by a way that he had not gone with his feet.

updv@Isaiah:41:4 @ Who has wrought and done it, calling the generations from the beginning? I, Yahweh, the first, and with the last, I am he.

updv@Isaiah:41:5 @ The isles have seen, and fear; the ends of the earth tremble; they draw near, and come.

updv@Isaiah:41:6 @ A man helps his fellow man; and says to his brother, Be of good courage.

updv@Isaiah:41:7 @ So the carpenter encourages the goldsmith, [and] he who smoothes with the hammer him who strikes the anvil, saying of the soldering, It is good; and he fastens it with nails, that it should not be moved.

updv@Isaiah:41:8 @ But you, Israel, my slave, Jacob whom I have chosen, the seed of Abraham my friend,

updv@Isaiah:41:9 @ you whom I have taken hold of from the ends of the earth, and called from its corners, and said to you, You are my slave, I have chosen you and not cast you away;

updv@Isaiah:41:10 @ Don't be afraid, for I am with you; don't be dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you; yes, I will help you; yes, I will uphold you with the right hand of my righteousness.

updv@Isaiah:41:11 @ Look, all those who are incensed against you will be put to shame and confounded: those who strive with you will be as nothing, and will perish.

updv@Isaiah:41:12 @ You will seek them, and will not find them, even those who contend with you: those who war against you will be as nothing, and as a thing of nothing.

updv@Isaiah:41:13 @ For I, Yahweh your God, will hold your right hand, saying to you, Don't be afraid; I will help you.

updv@Isaiah:41:14 @ Don't be afraid, you worm Jacob, and you(note:){+}(:note) vermin Israel; I will help you, says Yahweh, and your Redeemer is the Holy One of Israel.

updv@Isaiah:41:15 @ Look, I have made you [to be] a new sharp threshing instrument having teeth; you will thresh the mountains, and beat them small, and will make the hills as chaff.

updv@Isaiah:41:16 @ You will winnow them, and the wind will carry them away, and the whirlwind will scatter them; and you will rejoice in Yahweh, you will glory in the Holy One of Israel.

updv@Isaiah:41:17 @ The poor and needy seek water, and there is none, and their tongue fails for thirst; I, Yahweh, will answer them, I, the God of Israel, will not forsake them.

updv@Isaiah: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.

updv@Isaiah:41:19 @ I will put in the wilderness the cedar, the acacia, and the myrtle, and the oil-tree; I will set in the desert the fir-tree, the pine, and the box-tree together:

updv@Isaiah:41:20 @ that they may see, and know, and consider, and understand together, that the hand of Yahweh has done this, and the Holy One of Israel has created it.

updv@Isaiah:41:21 @ Produce your(note:){+}(:note) cause, says Yahweh; bring forth your{+} strong reasons, says the King of Jacob.

updv@Isaiah:41:22 @ Let them bring forth, and declare to us what will happen: declare(note:){+}(:note) the former things, what they are, that we may consider them, and know the latter end of them; or show us things to come.

updv@Isaiah:41:23 @ Declare the things that are to come hereafter, that we may know that you(note:){+}(:note) are gods: yes, do good, or do evil, that we may be dismayed and watch it together.

updv@Isaiah:41:24 @ Look, you(note:){+}(:note) are of nothing, and your{+} work is of nothing; he who chooses you{+} is disgusting.

updv@Isaiah:41:25 @ I have raised up one from the north, and he has come; from the rising of the sun one who calls on my name: and he will trample rulers as mortar, and as the potter treads clay.

updv@Isaiah:41:26 @ Who has declared it from the beginning, that we may know? And formerly, that we may say, [He is] right? Yes, there is none who declares, yes, there is none who shows, yes, there is none who hears your(note:){+}(:note) words.

updv@Isaiah:41:27 @ [I am the] first [who says] to Zion, Look, look at them; and I will give to Jerusalem one who brings good news.

updv@Isaiah:41:28 @ And when I look, there is no man: even among them there is no counselor, who, when I ask of them, can answer a word.

updv@Isaiah:41:29 @ Look, all of them, their works are vanity [and] nothing; their molten images are wind and confusion.
