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. ‡

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:

10 ^aFear not, ^bfor 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.’ ‡
