Isaiah 41:7-9

Jubilee Bible 2000

⁷ So the carpenter encouraged the goldsmith, and he that smooths with the hammer him that smote the anvil, saying, It is well joined and he strengthened it with nails, that it should not be moved.

⁸ But thou, Israel, my slave, Jacob whom I have chosen, art the seed of Abraham my friend.

⁹ For I have taken thee from the ends of the earth and called thee from the boundaries thereof and said unto thee Thou shalt be my slave; I have chosen thee, and not cast thee away.
