NASB Bible (with Strong's Numbers)

Isaiah 41

Israel Encouraged

1

aCoastlandsh339, listen to Me  bin silenceh2790b, And let the peoplesh3816  cgainh2498 newh2498 strengthh3581b;  dLet them comeh5066 forwardh5066, thenh227 let them speakh1696;  eLet us comeh7126 togetherh3164a for judgmenth4941.

2

aWhoh4310 has arousedh5782 one from the easth4217 Whom He  bcallsh7121 in righteousnessh6664 to His  1feeth7272? He  cdeliversh5414 up nationsh1471 beforeh6440 him And subduesh7287a kingsh4428. He makesh5414 them like  ddusth6083 with his swordh2719, As the wind-driven  echaffh7179 with his bowh7198.

3

"He pursuesh7291 them, passingh5674a on in safetyh7965, By a wayh734 he had not been  1traversingh935 with his feeth7272.

4

aWhoh4310 has performedh6466 and accomplishedh6213a it, Callingh7121 forth the generationsh1755 from the beginningh7218? ` bI, the LORDh3068, am the firsth7223, and with the lasth314.  cI am He.' "

5

The  acoastlandsh339 have seenh7200 and are afraidh3372a; The  bendsh7098 of the earthh776 trembleh2729; They have drawnh7126 nearh7126 and have comeh857.

6

Eachh376 oneh376 helpsh5826 his neighborh7453 And saysh559 to his brotherh251, "Be strongh2388!"

7

So the  acraftsmanh2796 encouragesh2388 the  bsmelterh6884, And he who smoothsh2505b metal with the hammerh6360 encourages him who beatsh1986 the anvilh6471, Sayingh559 of the solderingh1694, "It is goodh2896a"; And he fastensh2388 it with nailsh4548,  cSo that it will not totterh4131.

8

"But you, Israelh3478,  aMy servanth5650, Jacobh3290 whomh834 I have chosenh977, Descendanth2233 of  bAbrahamh85 My  cfriendh157,

9

You whomh834 I have  1 atakenh2388 from the endsh7098 of the earthh776, And calledh7121 from its  bremotesth678 partsh678 And saidh559 to you, `You are  cMy servanth5650, I have  dchosenh977 you and not rejectedh3988a you.

10

`Do not  afearh3372a, for I am with you; Do not anxiously lookh8159 about you, for I am your Godh430. I will strengthenh553 you, surelyh637  bI will helph5826 you, Surelyh637 I will upholdh8551 you with My righteoush6664  crighth3225 handh3225.'

11

"Beholdh2005,  aallh3605 those who are angeredh2734 at you will be shamedh954 and dishonoredh3637;  bThoseh376 whoh376 contendh7379 with you will be as nothingh369 and will perishh6.

12

aYou will seekh1245 thoseh376 whoh376 quarrelh4695 with you, but will not findh4672 them, Thoseh376 whoh376 warh4421 with you will be as nothingh369 and non-existenth657.

13

"For I am the LORDh3068 your Godh430,  awho upholdsh2388 your righth3225 handh3225, Who saysh559 to you, ` bDo not fearh3372a, I will helph5826 you.'

14

"Do not fearh3372a, you  awormh8439b Jacobh3290, you menh4962 of Israelh3478; I will helph5826 you," declaresh5002 the LORDh3068, " 1and  byour Redeemerh1350 is the Holyh6918 Oneh6918 of Israelh3478.

15

"Beholdh2009, I have madeh7760 you a newh2319, sharph2742a threshingh4173 sledgeh4173 with double edgesh6310;  aYou will threshh1758 the  bmountainsh2022 and pulverizeh1854 them, And will makeh7760 the hillsh1389 like chaffh4671b.

16

"You will  awinnowh2219 them, and the windh7307 will carryh5375 them away, And the stormh5591b will scatterh6327a them; But you will  brejoiceh1523 in the LORDh3068, You will gloryh1984b in the Holyh6918 Oneh6918 of Israelh3478.

17

"The  1afflictedh6041 and needyh34 are seekingh1245  awaterh4325, but thereh369 is noneh369, And their tongueh3956 is parchedh5405 with thirsth6772; I, the LORDh3068,  bwill answerh6030a them Myself, As the Godh430 of Israelh3478 I  cwill not forsakeh5800a them.

18

"I will openh6605a  ariversh5104 on the bareh8205 heightsh8205 And springsh4599 in the midsth8432 of the valleysh1237; I will makeh7760  bthe wildernessh4057b a poolh98 of waterh4325 And the dryh6723 landh776 fountainsh4161 of waterh4325.

19

"I will puth5414 the cedarh730 in the wildernessh4057b, The acaciah7848 and the  amyrtleh1918 and the  1oliveh8081 treeh8410; I will placeh7760 the  ajuniperh1265 in the deserth6160 Togetherh3164a with the boxh8410 treeh8391 and the cypressh8391,

20

That  athey may seeh7200 and recognizeh3045, And considerh7760 and gainh7919a insighth7919a as wellh3164a, That the  bhandh3027 of the LORDh3068 has doneh6213a thish384, And the Holyh6918 Oneh6918 of Israelh3478 has createdh1254a it.

21

1Presenth7126 your caseh7379," the LORDh3068 saysh559. "Bringh5066 forwardh5066 your strongh6110 arguments," The  aKingh4428 of Jacobh3290 saysh559.

22

 aLet them bringh5066 forthh5066 and declareh5046 to us whath834 is going to takeh7136a placeh7136a; As for the  bformerh7223 events, declareh5046 whath4100 they were, That we may considerh7760 them and knowh3045 their outcomeh319. Orh176 announceh8085 to us what is comingh935;

23

 aDeclareh5046 the thingsh857 that are going to comeh857 afterwardh268, That we may knowh3045 that you are godsh430; Indeedh637,  bdoh3190 goodh3190 or evilh7489a, that we may anxiously lookh8159 about us and fearh3372a togetherh3164a.

24

Beholdh2005,  ayou are of  1noh369 accounth369, And  byour workh6467 amounts to nothingh657; He who choosesh977 you is an  cabominationh8441.

25

"I have arousedh5782  aone from the northh6828, and he has comeh857; From the risingh4217 of the sunh8121 he will callh7121 on My nameh8034; And he will comeh935 upon rulersh5461 as upon  bmortarh2563a, Even as the potterh3335 treadsh7429 clayh2563a."

26

Whoh4310 has  adeclaredh5046 this from the beginningh7218, that we might knowh3045? Or from formerh6440 timesh6440, that we may sayh559, "He is righth6662!"? Surelyh637 thereh369 was  bnoh369 oneh369 who declaredh5046, Surelyh637 thereh369 was noh369 oneh369 who proclaimedh8085, Surelyh637 thereh369 was noh369 oneh369 who heardh8085 your wordsh561.

27

aFormerlyh7223 I said to Zionh6726, `Beholdh2009, hereh2009 they are.' And to Jerusalemh3389, `I will giveh5414 a  bmessengerh1319 of good newsh1319.'

28

"But  awhen I lookh7200, thereh369 is noh369 oneh376, And thereh369 is noh369  bcounselorh3289  1amongh4480 them Who, if I askh7592, can  cgiveh7725 an answerh1697.

29

"Beholdh2005, allh3605 of them are  1falseh205; Their  aworksh4639 are  bworthlessh657, Their moltenh5262b imagesh5262b are  cwindh7307 and emptinessh8414.
