ISAIAH
Chapter 41
Fear Not Israel, The Lord Has Set His Challenge
Challenging the Nations
-
1. KEEP silence before me, O islands; and let the people renew their strength: let them come near; then let them speak:
let us come near together to judgment.
-
Hebrew
- הַחֲרִישׁוּ אֵלַי אִיִּים וּלְאֻמִּים יַחֲלִיפוּ כֹחַ יִגְּשׁוּ אָז יְדַבֵּרוּ יַחְדָּו לַמִּשְׁפָּט נִקְרָבָה׃
-
2. Who raised up the righteous man from the east, called him to his foot, gave the nations before him, and
made him rule over kings? he gave them as the dust to his sword, and
as driven stubble to his bow.
-
Hebrew
- מִי הֵעִיר מִמִּזְרָח צֶדֶק יִקְרָאֵהוּ לְרַגְלוֹ יִתֵּן לְפָנָיו גּוֹיִם וּמְלָכִים יַרְדְּ יִתֵּן כֶּעָפָר חַרְבּוֹ כְּקַשׁ נִדָּף קַשְׁתּוֹ׃
-
3. He pursued them, and passed safely; even by the way that he had not gone with his feet.
-
Hebrew
- יִרְדְּפֵם יַעֲבוֹר שָׁלוֹם אֹרַח בְּרַגְלָיו לֹא יָבוֹא׃
-
4. Who hath wrought and done it, calling the generations from the beginning?
I the LORD, the first, and with the last; I am he.
-
Hebrew
- מִי־פָעַל וְעָשָׂה קֹרֵא הַדֹּרוֹת מֵרֹאשׁ אֲנִי יְהוָה רִאשׁוֹן וְאֶת־אַחֲרֹנִים אֲנִי־ הוּא׃

redeemer, the Holy One of Israel.

Hebrew
- אַל־תִּירְאִי תּוֹלַעַת יַעֲקֹב מְתֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל אֲנִי עֲזַרְתִּיךְ נְאֻם־יְהוָה וְגֹאֲלֵךְ קְדוֹשׁ יִשְׂרָאֵל׃
