Isaiah 41:4-6

International Standard Version

⁴ Who has performed and carried this out,
    calling the generations from the beginning?
I, the Lord—the first
    and will be with the last
        —I am the One!”

⁵ “The coastlands have looked and are afraid;
    the ends of the earth have drawn near together^[a]
        and come forward.
⁶ Each helps his neighbor,
    saying^[b] to each other, ‘Be strong!’
