Isaiah 41:7-9

Names of God Bible

⁷Craftsmen encourage goldsmiths.
    Metalsmiths encourage blacksmiths who work at their anvils.
    They say that their soldering is good.
        And they fasten things with nails so they won’t move.

⁸“But you are my servant Israel,
    Jacob, whom I have chosen,
    the descendant of Abraham, my dear friend.
⁹I have taken you from the ends of the earth
    and called you from its most distant places.
    I said to you, ‘You are my servant.
    I’ve chosen you; I haven’t rejected you.’
