Isaiah 41:7-9

Evangelical Heritage Version

⁷ The craftsman strengthens the refiner.
The one who flattens with the hammer
    strengthens the one who strikes the anvil.
Concerning the soldering he says, “It is good.”
He fastens it with nails so that it cannot be moved.

⁸ But you, O Israel, my servant,
O Jacob, whom I have chosen,
the offspring^[a] of Abraham, whom I love,
⁹ whom I have snatched from the ends of the earth,
whom I have called from its corners—
I have said to you, “You are my servant.”
I have chosen you and not rejected you.
