5 The coastlands saw it and feared,The ends of the earth were afraid;They drew near and came.
6 Everyone helped his neighbor,And said to his brother,“Be of good courage!”
7 So the craftsman encouraged the goldsmith;He who smooths with the hammer inspired him who strikes the anvil,Saying, “It is ready for the soldering”;Then he fastened it with pegs,That it might not totter.
8 “But you, Israel, are My servant,Jacob whom I have chosen,The descendants of Abraham My friend.
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 Fear not, for 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.’
11 “Behold, all those who were incensed against youShall be ashamed and disgraced;They shall be as nothing,And those who strive with you shall perish.
