Reading the prophecies of Isaiah. [Isa.41:4-14]
Thus says the Lord: I am the first God, and I am the one to come. Seeing the Gentiles and being afraid, the ends of the earth drew near and came together. Judge every neighbor, and the brother of help, and says: The man who makes wood can prevail, and forge the beater with molten metal, and forge it together: when he says, there is good soldering, Having established it with nails, I will lay it down and not move. You are Israel, my servant Jacob, whom you chose, the seed of Abraham, whom you loved. He was commanded from the ends of the earth, and from the guards thereof he called thee, and said unto thee, Thou art my servant, who hath chosen thee, and will not leave thee. Do not be afraid, for I am with you, I will not deceive you: for I am your God, having strengthened you, and helped you, and established you with My righteous right hand. Behold, all those who resist you will be ashamed and put to shame, for they will be as if they do not exist, and all your rivals will perish. Seek them, and you will not find people who will mock you: for they will be like those who were not, and there will not be those who fight for you.
For I am your God, holding your right hand, saying to you: Fear not Jacob, little one of Israel, I have helped you, says your God, deliver you, O Holy One of Israel.
Reading the prophecy of Isaiah [41:4b–14]
Thus says the Lord: “I am the first God, and for the time to come I am. The nations saw it and were afraid, the ends of the earth were in confusion, they drew closer and came together, each thinking to help his neighbor and brother, and they began to speak. The carpenter and the blacksmith, striking with a hammer and forging, gathered their strength, and said: “The joint is good,” they strengthened it with nails, laid it down, and it will not move. And you, Israel, My servant Jacob, whom I have chosen, the seed of Abraham, whom I have loved, whom I took from the ends of the earth, and from the ends of it I called you and said to you: You are My servant, I have chosen you and will not leave you. Fear not, for I am with you, I will not deceive you, for I am your God, who strengthened you, and I helped you, and established you with My righteous hand. Behold, all those who resist you will be ashamed and ashamed, for all your rivals will be like nothing and will perish. You will look for them and you will not find people insulting you in a drunken riot, for they will be like nothing, and there will be no one fighting you.
For I am your God, I hold you by your right hand and say to you: Do not be afraid, I have helped you, do not be afraid, you little larva of Jacob, you little Israel, I have helped you,” says your God, your Deliverer, the Holy One of Israel.
