Isaiah 41:13 - Forerunner Commentary

Isaiah 41:13

11 “Behold, all those who were incensed against you
Shall be ^aashamed and disgraced;
They shall be as nothing,
And those who strive with you shall perish.

12 You shall seek them and not find them—
¹Those who contended with you.
Those who war against you
Shall be as nothing,
As a nonexistent thing.

13 For I, the Lord your God, will hold your right hand,
Saying to you, ‘Fear not, I will help you.’

14 “Fear not, you ^aworm Jacob,
You men of Israel!
I will help you,” says the Lord
And your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel.

15 “Behold, ^aI will make you into a new threshing sledge with sharp teeth;
You shall thresh the mountains and beat them small,
And make the hills like chaff.

16 You shall ^awinnow them, the wind shall carry them away,
And the whirlwind shall scatter them;
You shall rejoice in the Lord,
And^b glory in the Holy One of Israel.

17 “The poor and needy seek water, but there is none,
Their tongues fail for thirst.
I, the Lord, will hear them;
I, the God of Israel, will not ^aforsake them.

18 I will open ^arivers in desolate heights,
And fountains in the midst of the valleys;
I will make the ^bwilderness a pool of water,
And the dry land springs of water.

19 I will plant in the wilderness the cedar and the acacia tree,
The myrtle and the oil tree;
I will set in the ^adesert the cypress tree and the pine
And the box tree together,

20 ^aThat they may see and know,
And consider and understand together,
That the hand of the Lord has done this,
And the Holy One of Israel has created it.

The Futility of Idols

21 “Present your case,” says the Lord.
“Bring forth your strong reasons,” says the ^aKing of Jacob.
