Isaiah 41:6

He pursues them

and passes by safely,

even by a way that he had not gone with his feet.

Who has worked and done it,

calling the generations from the beginning?

I, the LORD, the first, and with the last, I am he.”

The islands have seen, and fear.

The ends of the earth tremble.

They approach, and come.

So the carpenter encourages the goldsmith.

He who smooths with the hammer encourages him who strikes the anvil,

saying of the soldering, “It is good;”

and he fastens it with nails, that it might not totter.

“But you, Israel, my servant,

Jacob whom I have chosen,

the offspring of Abraham my friend,

you whom I have taken hold of from the ends of the earth,

and called from its corners,

and said to you, ‘You are my servant. I have chosen you and have not cast you away.’
