Isaiah 41:5-7
International Standard Version
Idolaters Encourage Each Other
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!’
7 The craftsman encourages the goldsmith,
and the hammersmith[c] encourages the one who strikes the anvil.
He says[d] about the welding, ‘It’s good!’
and he reinforces it with nails so that it won’t topple.”

5 The islands(A) have seen it and fear;
the ends of the earth(B) tremble.
They approach and come forward;

and say to their companions, “Be strong!(C)”
