Isaiah 41:6-8
Amplified Bible
6
They each help his neighbor
And say to his brother [as he fashions his idols], “Be of good courage!”
7
So the craftsman encourages the goldsmith,
And he who smooths metal with the smith’s hammer encourages him who beats the anvil,
Saying of the soldering (welding), “That is good”;
And he fastens the idol with nails,
So that it will not totter nor be moved.
8
“But you, Israel, My servant,
Jacob whom I have chosen,
The offspring of Abraham My friend,(A)
Isaiah 41:6-8

And said to his brother,
[a]“Be of good courage!”

Saying, [c]“It is ready for the soldering”;
Then he fastened it with pegs,

8 “But you, Israel, are My servant,
Jacob whom I have (E)chosen,
The descendants of Abraham My (F)friend.
