Be silent before me, O islands, and let all the people be renewed in strength. Come near, and let them speak. We can debate with each other.

Who rose up from the east and called him to his feet in righteousness? The Lord has given the nations to him, to rule over the kings; he has given them to his sword like dust, and to his bow like straw blown by the wind.

He chased them, walked the path he had not yet taken, and walked calmly forward.

Who did this and called upon all generations from the beginning? It’s me, Lord, I am the first. Also with the end.

When the islands saw it, they were all afraid, and the ends of the earth trembled. They came closer.

They each help their neighbors, and each says to their brothers, ‘Be brave.’.

The carpenter encourages the silversmith, and the one who uses a hammer to polish encourages the one who uses an anvil. As for the welder, they say that welding is good. Secure it with nails to prevent the idol from shaking.

But you, Israel, my servant, Jacob, whom I have chosen, the descendants of my friend Abraham,

You are the one I brought from the ends of the earth, the one I called from the corners of the earth, and I say to you, You are my servant, and I have chosen you and not rejected you.

Don’t be afraid, because I am with you. Don’t panic, because I am your god. I will strengthen you, I will help you, and I will support you with my righteous right hand.

Everyone who is angry with you will be ashamed and ashamed. Those who contend with you will be like nothing and will perish.

Those who compete with you cannot be found even if you want to find them. Those who fight with you will be like nothing and become nothing.

For I, the Lord your God, will support your right hand and say to you, Do not be afraid, I will help you.

Do not be afraid, you worm Jacob, and you Israelites. The Lord said, I will help you. Your Redeemer is the Holy One of Israel.

See, I have made you a new tool with sharp teeth for threshing grain. You will crush the mountains and make the hills like chaff.

You want to shake him up and the wind will blow him away, and the whirlwind will scatter him. But you shall rejoice in the Lord, and glory in the Holy One of Israel.

The poor and needy seek water but do not find it; their tongues are dry due to thirst. I, the Lord, will answer them, and the God of Israel will not abandon them.

I will open rivers in the high places of pure light, springs in the valleys; I will turn deserts into pools of water, and dry land into springs.

I will plant cedar trees, soapberry trees, pomegranate trees, and wild olive trees in the wilderness. I want to plant pine, fir, and boxwood trees together in the desert.

So that people may see, know, think, and understand: this is the work of the hand of the Lord, the work of the Holy One of Israel.

The Lord said to the false gods, ‘Submit your case,’ and the king of Jacob said, ‘Declare your true reasons.’.

It can be declared, indicating what we will encounter in the future, explaining what happened before, so that we can ponder and know the outcome of the situation, or show us what will happen in the future.

Explain the later events so that we may know that you are God, and whether you bring good or evil, so that we may be amazed and witness together.

See, you belong to nothingness, and your works also belong to nothingness. The one who chose you is detestable.

I have raised up a man from the north, who calls upon my name and comes from the land of sunrise. He will come to those in power, like to plaster, like a potter kicking mud.

Who pointed out this matter from the beginning, so that we may know? Who made us say from the previous explanation that he is good? No one specified, no one explained. No one heard what you said.

First of all, I said to Zion, “See, I will give Jerusalem one who brings good news.”.

When I looked, there was no one, and when I asked, there was no strategist among them who could answer.

Look, they and their work are all emptiness, and nothing. The idols they cast are all wind, they are all illusions.
