jub@Isaiah:41:6 @ Each one helped his neighbour; and [each one] said to his brother, Be of good courage.

jub@Isaiah:41:7 @ So the carpenter encouraged the goldsmith, [and] he that smooths [with] the hammer him that smote the anvil, saying, It [is] well joined and he strengthened it with nails, [that] it should not be moved.

jub@Isaiah:41:8 @ But thou, Israel, my servant, Jacob whom I have chosen, [art] the seed of Abraham my friend.

jub@Isaiah:41:9 @ For I have taken thee from the ends of the earth and called thee from the boundaries thereof and said unto thee Thou [shalt be] my servant; I have chosen thee, and not cast thee away.

jub@Isaiah:41:10 @ Do not fear for I [am] with thee; do not be dismayed, for I [am] thy God, who strengthens thee; I will help thee always; I will always uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.

jub@Isaiah:41:25 @ I have raised up [one] from the north, and he came from the rising of the sun; he called in my name and came unto princes as [upon] clay and as the potter treads clay.

jub@Isaiah:41:26 @ Who has declared from the beginning, that we shall know? and beforetime that we shall say, [He is] righteous? yea, [there is] no one that declares this, yea, [there is] no one that teaches, yea, [there is] no one that hears your words.

jub@Isaiah:41:27 @ I [am] the first that has taught these things unto Zion, and unto Jerusalem I brought the news.

jub@Isaiah:42:9 @ Behold, the former things are come to pass, and I declare new things: before they spring forth I tell you of them.

jub@Isaiah:42:10 @ Sing unto the LORD a new song [and] his praise from the end of the earth, ye that go down to the sea and all that is therein, the isles, and the inhabitants thereof.

jub@Isaiah:42:11 @ Let the wilderness and the cities thereof lift up [their voice], the villages [that] Kedar inhabits; let the inhabitants of the rock sing, let them shout from the top of the mountains.

jub@Isaiah:42:12 @ Let them give glory unto the LORD and declare his praise in the islands.

jub@Isaiah:42:13 @ The LORD shall go forth as a giant; he shall stir up jealousy like a man of war; he shall cry [out] a battle cry; he shall prevail against his enemies.

jub@Isaiah:42:14 @ I have long time held my peace; I have been still [and] refrained myself; [now] will I cry [out] like a travailing woman; I will destroy and devour at once.

jub@Isaiah:42:15 @ I will make waste mountains and hills and dry up all their grass, and I will make the rivers islands, and I will dry up the pools.

jub@Isaiah:42:16 @ And I will bring the blind by a way [that] they knew not; I will cause them to walk in paths [that] they have not known; I will make darkness light before them and crooked things straight. These things will I do unto them and not forsake them.

jub@Isaiah:42:17 @ They shall be turned back; they shall be greatly ashamed, that trust in graven images, that say to the molten images, Ye [are] our gods.

jub@Isaiah:42:18 @ Hear, ye deaf; and look, ye blind, that ye may see.

jub@Isaiah:42:19 @ Who [is] blind, but my servant? or deaf, as my messenger [that] I sent? Who [is] blind as [he that is] perfect, and blind as the servant of the LORD,

jub@Isaiah:42:20 @ who sees many things and does not warn; who opens his ears and does not hear.

jub@Isaiah:42:21 @ The LORD, jealous for his righteousness, will magnify the law and enlarge [it].

jub@Isaiah:42:22 @ Therefore this people [is] robbed and spoiled; all of them shall be snared in holes and hid in prison houses; they shall be for a prey, and no one delivers; for a spoil, and no one saith, Restore.

jub@Isaiah:42:23 @ Who among you will give ear to this? [Who] will warn and consider regarding the time to come?

jub@Isaiah:42:24 @ Who gave Jacob for a spoil and Israel to the robbers? Did not the LORD? Because we sinned against him, and they did not desire to walk in his ways, neither did they hearken unto his law.

jub@Isaiah:42:25 @ Therefore he has poured upon him the fury of his anger and the strength of battle; he put fire round about him, yet he was careless; and it set him on fire, yet he did not lay [it] to heart.:

jub@Isaiah:43:1 @ But now thus saith the LORD that created thee, O Jacob, and he that formed thee, O Israel, Do not fear, for I have redeemed thee, I have named thee; Thou [art] mine.
