Isaiah 41:5-7

International Standard Version

⁵ “The coastlands have looked and are afraid;
    the ends of the earth have drawn near together^[a]
        and come forward.
⁶ Each helps his neighbor,
    saying^[b] to each other, ‘Be strong!’
⁷ The craftsman encourages the goldsmith,
    and the hammersmith^[c] encourages the one who strikes the anvil.
He says^[d] about the welding, ‘It’s good!’
    and he reinforces it with nails so that it won’t topple.”
