Red-Letter King James Bible 1769 Edition (KJV)

Isaiah 41

1 God expostulateth with his people, about his mercies to the Church, 10 about his promises, 21 and about the vanity of idols.

 41:1 ¶ Keep silence 2790 z8685 before x413 me, O islands; 339 and let the people 3816 renew 2498 z8686 [their] strength: 3581 let them come near; 5066 z8799 then x227 let them speak: 1696 z8762 let us come near 7126 z8799 together 3162 to judgment. 4941

 41:2 Who x4310 raised up 5782 z8689 the righteous 6664 [man] from the east, 4217 x4480 called 7121 z8799 him to his foot, 7272 gave 5414 z8799 the nations 1471 before 6440 him, and made [him] rule 7287 z8686 over kings? 4428 he gave 5414 z8799 [them] as the dust 6083 to his sword, 2719 [and] as driven 5086 z8737 stubble 7179 to his bow. 7198

 41:3 He pursued 7291 z8799 them, [and] passed 5674 z8799 safely; 7965 [even] by the way 734 [that] he had not x3808 gone 935 z8799 with his feet. 7272

 41:4 Who x4310 hath wrought 6466 z8804 and done 6213 z8804 [it], calling 7121 z8802 the generations 1755 from the beginning? 7218 x4480 I x589 the LORD, 3068 the first, 7223 and with x854 the last; 314 I x589 [am] he. x1931

 41:5 The isles 339 saw 7200 z8804 [it], and feared; 3372 z8799 the ends 7098 of the earth 776 were afraid, 2729 z8799 drew near, 7126 z8804 and came. 857 z8799

 41:6 They helped 5826 z8799 every one 376 x853 his neighbour; 7453 and [every one] said 559 z8799 to his brother, 251 Be of good courage. 2388 z8798

 41:7 So the carpenter 2796 encouraged 2388 z8762 x853 the goldsmith, 6884 z8802 [and] he that smootheth 2505 z8688 [with] the hammer 6360 x853 him that smote 1986 z8802 the anvil, 6471 saying, 559 z8802 It x1931 [is] ready 2896 for the sodering: 1694 and he fastened 2388 z8762 it with nails, 4548 [that] it should not x3808 be moved. 4131 z8735

 41:8 But thou, x859 Israel, 3478 [art] my servant, 5650 Jacob 3290 whom x834 I have chosen, 977 z8804 the seed 2233 of Abraham 85 my friend. 157 z8802

 41:9 [Thou] whom x834 I have taken 2388 z8689 from the ends 7098 x4480 of the earth, 776 and called 7121 z8804 thee from the chief men 678 x4480 thereof, and said 559 z8799 unto thee, Thou x859 [art] my servant; 5650 I have chosen 977 z8804 thee, and not x3808 cast thee away. 3988 z8804

 41:10 ¶ Fear 3372 z8799 thou not; x408 for x3588 I x589 [am] with x5973 thee: be not x408 dismayed; 8159 z8691 for x3588 I x589 [am] thy God: 430 I will strengthen 553 z8765 thee; yea, x637 I will help 5826 z8804 thee; yea, x637 I will uphold 8551 z8804 thee with the right hand 3225 of my righteousness. 6664

 41:11 Behold, x2005 all x3605 they that were incensed 2734 z8737 against thee shall be ashamed 954 z8799 and confounded: 3637 z8735 they shall be x1961 as nothing; x369 and they y582 x376 that strive 7379 with thee shall perish. 6 z8799

 41:12 Thou shalt seek 1245 z8762 them, and shalt not x3808 find 4672 z8799 them, x376 [even] them y582 that contended 4695 with thee: they x376 that war 4421 against thee shall be x1961 as nothing, x369 and as a thing of nought. 657

 41:13 For x3588 I x589 the LORD 3068 thy God 430 will hold 2388 z8688 thy right hand, 3225 saying 559 z8802 unto thee, Fear 3372 z8799 not; x408 I x589 will help 5826 z8804 thee.

 41:14 Fear 3372 z8799 not, x408 thou worm 8438 Jacob, 3290 [and] ye men 4962 of Israel; 3478 I x589 will help 5826 z8804 thee, saith 5002 z8803 the LORD, 3068 and thy redeemer, 1350 z8802 the Holy One 6918 of Israel. 3478

 41:15 Behold, x2009 I will make 7760 z8804 thee a new 2319 sharp 2742 threshing y4173 instrument x4173 having 1167 teeth: 6374 thou shalt thresh 1758 z8799 the mountains, 2022 and beat [them] small, 1854 z8799 and shalt make 7760 z8799 the hills 1389 as chaff. 4671

 41:16 Thou shalt fan 2219 z8799 them, and the wind 7307 shall carry them away, 5375 z8799 and the whirlwind 5591 shall scatter 6327 z8686 them: and thou x859 shalt rejoice 1523 z8799 in the LORD, 3068 [and] shalt glory 1984 z8691 in the Holy One 6918 of Israel. 3478

 41:17 [When] the poor 6041 and needy 34 seek 1245 z8764 water, 4325 and [there is] none, x369 [and] their tongue 3956 faileth 5405 z8804 for thirst, 6772 I x589 the LORD 3068 will hear 6030 z8799 them, I the God 430 of Israel 3478 will not x3808 forsake 5800 z8799 them.

 41:18 I will open 6605 z8799 rivers 5104 in x5921 high places, 8205 and fountains 4599 in the midst 8432 of the valleys: 1237 I will make 7760 z8799 the wilderness 4057 a pool 98 of water, 4325 and the dry 6723 land 776 springs 4161 of water. 4325

 41:19 I will plant 5414 z8799 in the wilderness 4057 the cedar, 730 the shittah tree, 7848 and the myrtle, 1918 and the oil 8081 tree; 6086 I will set 7760 z8799 in the desert 6160 the fir tree, 1265 [and] the pine, 8410 and the box tree 8391 together: 3162

 41:20 That x4616 they may see, 7200 z8799 and know, 3045 z8799 and consider, 7760 z8799 and understand 7919 z8686 together, 3162 that x3588 the hand 3027 of the LORD 3068 hath done 6213 z8804 this, x2063 and the Holy One 6918 of Israel 3478 hath created 1254 z8804 it.

 41:21 Produce 7126 z8761 your cause, 7379 saith 559 z8799 the LORD; 3068 bring forth 5066 z8685 your strong 6110 [reasons], saith 559 z8799 the King 4428 of Jacob. 3290

 41:22 Let them bring [them] forth, 5066 z8686 and shew 5046 z8686 us x853 what x834 shall happen: 7136 z8799 let them shew 5046 z8685 the former things, 7223 what x4100 they x2007 [be], that we may consider 7760 3820 z8799 them, and know 3045 z8799 the latter end 319 of them; or x176 declare 8085 z8685 us things for to come. 935 z8802

 41:23 Shew 5046 z8685 the things that are to come 857 z8802 hereafter, 268 that we may know 3045 z8799 that x3588 ye x859 [are] gods: 430 yea, x637 do good, 3190 z8686 or do evil, 7489 z8686 that we may be dismayed, 8159 z8691 and behold 7200 z8799 [it] together. 3162

 41:24 Behold, x2005 ye x859 [are] of nothing, 369 x4480 and your work 6467 of nought: 659 x4480 an abomination 8441 [is he that] chooseth 977 z8799 you.

 41:25 I have raised up 5782 z8689 [one] from the north, 6828 x4480 and he shall come: 857 z8799 from the rising 4217 x4480 of the sun 8121 shall he call 7121 z8799 upon my name: 8034 and he shall come 935 z8799 upon princes 5461 as x3644 [upon] morter, 2563 and as x3644 the potter 3335 z8802 treadeth 7429 z8799 clay. 2916

 41:26 Who x4310 hath declared 5046 z8689 from the beginning, 7218 x4480 that we may know? 3045 z8799 and beforetime, 6440 x4480 that we may say, 559 z8799 [He is] righteous? 6662 yea, x637 [there is] none x369 that sheweth, 5046 z8688 yea, x637 [there is] none x369 that declareth, 8085 z8688 yea, x637 [there is] none x369 that heareth 8085 z8802 your words. 561

 41:27 The first 7223 [shall say] to Zion, 6726 Behold, 2009 behold 2009 them: and I will give 5414 z8799 to Jerusalem 3389 one that bringeth good tidings. 1319 z8764

 41:28 For I beheld, 7200 z8799 and [there was] no x369 man; 376 even among them, x4480 x428 and [there was] no x369 counsellor, 3289 z8802 that, when I asked 7592 z8799 of them, could answer 7725 z8686 a word. 1697

 41:29 Behold, x2005 they [are] all x3605 vanity; 205 their works 4639 [are] nothing: 657 their molten images 5262 [are] wind 7307 and confusion. 8414
