Isaiah 41:1 (NIRV) New International Reader's Version

1 The Lord says, "People who live on the islands, come and stand quietly in front of me. Let the nations gain new strength in order to state their case. Let them come forward and speak. Let us go to court and find out who is right.
2 "Who has stirred up a king from the east? Who has helped him win his battles? I hand nations over to him. I bring kings under his control. He turns them into dust with his sword. With his bow he turns them into straw blowing in the wind.
3 He hunts them down. Then he moves on unharmed. He travels so fast that his feet don't seem to touch the ground.
4 Who has made that happen? Who has carried it out? Who has created all of the people who have ever lived? I, the Lord, have done it. I was with the first of them. And I will be with the last of them."
5 The people on the islands have seen that king coming. And it has made them afraid. People tremble with fear from one end of the earth to the other. They come and gather together.
6 They help each other. They say to one another, "Be strong!"
7 One skilled worker makes a statue of a god. Another covers it with gold. The first worker says to the second, "You have done a good job." Another worker smooths out the metal with a hammer. Still another gives the statue its final shape. The third worker says to the last one, "You have done a good job." Then they nail the statue down so it won't fall over.
8 The Lord says, "People of Israel, you are my servants. Family of Jacob, I have chosen you. You are the children of my friend Abraham.
9 I gathered you from one end of the earth to the other. From the farthest places on earth I brought you together. I said, 'You are my servants.' I have chosen you. I have not turned my back on you.
10 So do not be afraid. I am with you. Do not be terrified. I am your God. I will make you strong and help you. My powerful right hand will take good care of you. I always do what is right.
11 "All those who are angry with you will be put to shame. And they will be dishonored. Those who oppose you will be destroyed. And they will vanish.
12 You might search for your enemies. But you will not find them. Those who go to war against you will completely disappear.
13 I am the Lord your God. I take hold of your right hand. I say to you, 'Do not be afraid. I will help you.'
14 Family of Jacob, you are as weak as a worm. But do not be afraid. People of Israel, there are only a few of you. But do not be afraid. I myself will help you," announces the Lord. He is the one who sets his people free. He is the Holy One of Israel.
15 He says, "I will make you into a threshing sled. It will be new and sharp. It will have many teeth. You will grind the mountains down and crush them. You will turn the hills into nothing but straw.
16 You will toss them in the air. A strong wind will catch them and blow them away. You will be glad because I will make that happen. You will praise me. I am the Holy One of Israel.
17 "Those who are poor and needy search for water. But there isn't any. Their tongues are dry because they are thirsty. But I will help them. I am the Lord. I will not desert them. I am Israel's God.
18 I will make streams flow on the bare hilltops. I will make springs come up in the valleys. I will turn the desert into pools of water. I will turn the dry and cracked ground into flowing springs.
19 I will make trees grow in the desert. I will plant cedar and acacia trees there. I will plant myrtle and olive trees there. I will make pine trees grow in the dry and empty desert. I will plant fir and cypress trees there.
20 Then people will see and know that my powerful hand has done it. They will consider and understand that I have created it. I am the Holy One of Israel."
21 The Lord says to the nations and their gods, "State your case." Jacob's King says to them, "Prove your case to me.
22 Show me your facts. Tell me and my people what is going to happen. Tell us what happened in the past. Then we can check it out and see if it is really true. Or announce to us the things that will take place.
23 Tell us what will happen in the days ahead. Then we will know that you are gods. Do something. It does not matter whether it is good or bad. Then we will be terrified and filled with fear.
24 But you are less than nothing. Your actions are completely worthless. I hate it when people worship you.
25 "I have stirred up a king who will come from the north. He lives in the east. He will bring honor to me. He walks all over rulers as if they were mud. He steps on them just as a potter stomps on clay.
26 Which one of you gods said those things would happen before they did? Who told us about them so we could know them? Who told us ahead of time? Who told us so we could say, 'You are right'? None of you told us about them. None of you told us ahead of time. In fact, no one heard you say anything at all.
27 I was the first to tell Zion. I said, 'Look! The people of Israel are coming back!' I sent a prophet to Jerusalem with the good news.
28 I look, but there is no one among the gods that can give me advice. None of them can answer when I ask them the simplest question.
29 So they are not really gods at all. What they do does not amount to anything. They are as useless as wind.
1 Keep silence H2790 VHI2MP before H413 PREP-1MS me , O islands H339 ; and let the people H3816 W-NMP renew H2498 their strength H3581 NMS : let them come near H5066 ; then H227 ADV let them speak H1696 VPY3MP : let us come near H7126 together H3162 ADV-3MS to judgment H4941 .
2 Who H4310 IPRO raised up H5782 the righteous H6664 NMS man from the east H4217 , called H7121 him to his foot H7272 , gave H5414 VHFA the nations H1471 NMP before H6440 L-CMP-3MS him , and made him rule H7287 over kings H4428 ? he gave H5414 VHFA them as the dust H6083 to his sword H2719 , and as driven H5086 VNPMS stubble H7179 K-NMS to his bow H7198 .
3 He pursued H7291 them , and passed H5674 safely H7965 NMS ; even by the way H734 that he had not H3808 NADV gone H935 VQY3MS with his feet H7272 B-CFD-3MS .
4 Who H4310 IPRO hath wrought H6466 and done H6213 W-VQQ3MS it , calling H7121 VQPMS the generations H1755 from the beginning H7218 ? I H589 PPRO-1MS the LORD H3068 EDS , the first H7223 , and with H854 the last H314 AMP ; I H589 PPRO-1MS am he H1931 PPRO-3MS .
5 The isles H339 saw H7200 VQQ3MP it , and feared H3372 ; the ends H7098 CFP of the earth H776 D-GFS were afraid H2729 , drew near H7126 , and came H857 .
6 They helped H5826 every one H376 NMS his neighbor H7453 NMS-3MS ; and every one said H559 VQY3MS to his brother H251 , Be of good courage H2388 .
7 So the carpenter H2796 encouraged H2388 the goldsmith H6884 , and he that smootheth H2505 with the hammer H6360 him that smote H1986 the anvil H6471 , saying H559 , It H1931 PPRO-3MS is ready H2896 AMS for the soldering H1694 : and he fastened H2388 it with nails H4548 , that it should not H3808 NADV be moved H4131 VNY3MS .
8 But thou H859 W-PPRO-2MS , Israel H3478 , art my servant H5650 CMS-1MS , Jacob H3290 whom H834 RPRO I have chosen H977 , the seed H2233 NMS of Abraham H85 my friend H157 .
9 Thou whom H834 RPRO I have taken H2388 from the ends H7098 of the earth H776 D-GFS , and called H7121 thee from the chief men H678 thereof , and said H559 W-VQY1MS unto thee , Thou H859 PPRO-2MS art my servant H5650 CMS-1MS ; I have chosen H977 thee , and not H3808 W-NPAR cast thee away H3988 .
10 Fear H3372 thou not H408 NPAR ; for H3588 CONJ I H589 PPRO-1MS am with H5973 PREP-2MS thee : be not H408 NPAR dismayed H8159 ; for H3588 CONJ I H589 PPRO-1MS am thy God H430 CMP-2MS : I will strengthen H553 thee ; yea H637 CONJ , I will help H5826 thee ; yea H637 CONJ , I will uphold H8551 thee with the right hand H3225 of my righteousness H6664 .
11 Behold H2005 IJEC , all H3605 NMS they that were incensed H2734 against thee shall be ashamed H954 and confounded H3637 : they shall be H1961 as nothing H369 ; and they H376 CMP that strive H7379 with thee shall perish H6 .
12 Thou shalt seek H1245 them , and shalt not H3808 W-NPAR find H4672 them H376 CMP , even them that contended H4695 with thee : they H376 CMP that war H4421 against thee shall be H1961 VQY3MP as nothing H369 , and as a thing of naught H657 .
13 For H3588 CONJ I H589 PPRO-1MS the LORD H3068 EDS thy God H430 CMP-2MS will hold H2388 VHPMS thy right hand H3225 , saying H559 D-VQPMS unto thee , Fear H3372 not H408 NPAR ; I H589 PPRO-1MS will help H5826 thee .
14 Fear H3372 not H408 NPAR , thou worm H8438 CFS Jacob H3290 , and ye men H4962 CMP of Israel H3478 ; I H589 PPRO-1MS will help H5826 thee , saith H5002 the LORD H3068 EDS , and thy redeemer H1350 , the Holy One H6918 of Israel H3478 LMS .
15 Behold H2009 IJEC , I will make H7760 thee a new H2319 sharp H2742 NMS threshing instrument H4173 having H1167 CMS teeth H6374 : thou shalt thresh H1758 the mountains H2022 NMP , and beat them small H1854 , and shalt make H7760 the hills H1389 as chaff H4671 K-NMS .
16 Thou shalt fan H2219 them , and the wind H7307 W-GFS shall carry them away H5375 , and the whirlwind H5591 shall scatter H6327 them : and thou H859 W-PPRO-2MS shalt rejoice H1523 in the LORD H3068 , and shalt glory H1984 in the Holy One H6918 of Israel H3478 .
17 When the poor H6041 and needy H34 seek H1245 water H4325 OMD , and there is none H369 W-NPAR , and their tongue H3956 faileth H5405 for thirst H6772 , I H589 PPRO-1MS the LORD H3068 EDS will hear H6030 them , I the God H430 CDP of Israel H3478 will not H3808 NADV forsake H5800 them .
18 I will open H6605 VQY1MS rivers H5104 NMP in H5921 PREP high places H8205 , and fountains H4599 in the midst H8432 of the valleys H1237 : I will make H7760 VQY1MS the wilderness H4057 NMS a pool H98 of water H4325 OMD , and the dry H6723 NFS land H776 W-NFS springs H4161 of water H4325 OMD .
19 I will plant H5414 VQY1MS in the wilderness H4057 the cedar H730 , the shittah tree H7848 , and the myrtle H1918 , and the oil H8081 tree H6086 W-NMS ; I will set H7760 VQY1MS in the desert H6160 the fir tree H1265 , and the pine H8410 , and the box tree H8391 together H3162 ADV :
20 That H4616 L-CONJ they may see H7200 VQY3MP , and know H3045 , and consider H7760 , and understand H7919 together H3162 ADV-3MS , that H3588 CONJ the hand H3027 CFS of the LORD H3068 EDS hath done H6213 VQQ3MS this H2063 DPRO-3FS , and the Holy One H6918 of Israel H3478 hath created H1254 it .
21 Produce H7126 your cause H7379 , saith H559 VQY3MS the LORD H3068 EDS ; bring forth H5066 your strong H6110 reasons , saith H559 VQY3MS the King H4428 NMS of Jacob H3290 .
22 Let them bring them forth H5066 , and show H5046 us what H834 RPRO shall happen H7136 : let them show H5046 the former things H7223 , what H4100 IGAT they H2007 PPRO-3FP be , that we may consider H7760 them , and know H3045 W-VQI1CP the latter end H319 of them ; or H176 CONJ declare H8085 us things for to come H935 .
23 Show H5046 the things that are to come H857 hereafter H268 L-NMS , that we may know H3045 W-VQI1CP that H3588 CONJ ye H859 PPRO-2MS are gods H430 EDP : yea H637 CONJ , do good H3190 , or do evil H7489 , that we may be dismayed H8159 , and behold H7200 it together H3162 ADV .
24 Behold H2005 IJEC , ye H859 PPRO-2MS are of nothing H369 , and your work H6467 of naught H659 : an abomination H8441 is he that chooseth H977 you .
25 I have raised up H5782 one from the north H6828 M-NFS , and he shall come H857 : from the rising H4217 of the sun H8121 shall he call H7121 VQY3MS upon my name H8034 : and he shall come H935 W-VQY3MS upon princes H5461 as H3644 PREP upon mortar H2563 NMS , and as H3644 the potter H3335 treadeth H7429 clay H2916 NMS .
26 Who H4310 IPRO hath declared H5046 VHPMS from the beginning H7218 , that we may know H3045 ? and formerly H6440 , that we may say H559 , He is righteous H6662 AMS ? yea H637 CONJ , there is none H369 NPAR that showeth H5046 VHPMS , yea H637 CONJ , there is none H369 NPAR that declareth H8085 , yea H637 CONJ , there is none H369 NPAR that heareth H8085 your words H561 .
27 The first H7223 shall say to Zion H6726 , Behold H2009 IJEC , behold H2009 IJEC them : and I will give H5414 to Jerusalem H3389 one that bringeth good tidings H1319 .
28 For I beheld H7200 , and there was no H369 W-NPAR man H376 NMS ; even among them H428 WM-PMP , and there was no H369 W-NPAR counselor H3289 , that , when I asked H7592 of them , could answer H7725 a word H1697 NMS .
29 Behold H2005 IJEC , they are all H3605 CMS-3MP vanity H205 NMS ; their works H4639 CMP-3MP are nothing H657 : their molten images H5262 are wind H7307 NFS and confusion H8414 .
