Isaiah 41:5

3 Who pursued them, and passed¹ safely
By the way that he had not gone with his feet?

4 ^aWho has performed and done it,
Calling the generations from the beginning?
‘I, the Lord, am ^bthe first;
And with the last I am ^cHe.’ ”

5 The coastlands saw it and feared,
The ends of the earth were afraid;
They drew near and came.

6 ^aEveryone helped his neighbor,
And said to his brother,
¹“Be of good courage!”

7 ^aSo the craftsman encouraged the ^bgoldsmith;
He who smooths with the hammer inspired him who strikes the anvil,
Saying,¹ “It is ready for the soldering”;
Then he fastened it with pegs,
^cThat it might not totter.

8 “But you, Israel, are My servant,
Jacob whom I have ^achosen,
The descendants of Abraham My ^bfriend.

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:
