Isaiah 41:7-9

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

⁷ The coppersmith striking with the hammer encouraged him that forged at that time, saying: It is ready for soldering: and he strengthened it with nails, that it should not be moved.

⁸ But thou Israel, art my servant, Jacob whom I have chosen, the seed of Abraham my friend:

⁹ In whom I have taken thee from the ends of the earth, and from the remote parts thereof have called thee, and said to thee: Thou art my servant, I have chosen thee, and have not cast thee away.
