Isaiah 41:6-8

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition

⁶ Each one helps the other,
    saying to one another, ‘Take courage!’
⁷ The artisan encourages the goldsmith,
    and the one who smooths with the hammer encourages the one who strikes the anvil,
saying of the soldering, ‘It is good’;
    and they fasten it with nails so that it cannot be moved.
⁸ But you, Israel, my servant,
    Jacob, whom I have chosen,
    the offspring of Abraham, my friend;
