1 God says, Be quiet and listen to Me, far lands by the sea. Come near. We will talk. ➡️️ 2 God says, I bring a man from the east. I make him win. I give him kings to beat like dust. ➡️♂️✅ 3 He runs after them and is safe. His feet do not slip. ♂️️ 4 God says, I did this. I am first. I am last. I am God. ☝️⏳✨ 5 Far lands see and are afraid. They come near and shake. ➡️ 6 People help friends and say, Be strong! 7 Men make a fake god. One hits metal. One smooths wood. They nail it so it will not fall. ️ 8 God says, Israel, you are My helper. Jacob, I chose you. You are from Abraham, My friend. ❤️ 9 I took you from far land. I said, You are My helper. I chose you. I did not throw you away. ➡️✋❤️✅♂️ 10 Do not be afraid. I am with you. I am your God. I make you strong. I help you. I hold you with My right hand. ✋ 11 People who hate you will lose.

I say, Do not be afraid. I help you. ✋ 14 Do not be afraid, little Jacob. People of Israel, I help you. I save you. I am the Holy One of Israel. ➡️✨ 15 I make you new and sharp. You will crush big hills. You will make them like dust. ✨⚙️⛰️️ 16 You will blow on them. Wind will take them away. You will be happy in God. You will thank the Holy One of Israel. ️➡️✨ 17 Poor and sad people need water. I will answer them. I will not leave them. ♂️✅ 18 I will make rivers and springs. The dry land will have pools of water. ️➡️️ 19 I will plant many trees in the dry land: cedar, acacia, myrtle, olive, cypress, pine, boxwood. ️ 20 Then people will see and know. They will think and learn. God did this. The Holy One of Israel made it. ✅✨ 21 God says, Come. Say your side. Show a sign. I am the King of Jacob. ️ 22 Tell us what will happen. Tell us what was long ago. Then we will know you are gods. ➡️️⏰⬅️️❓ 23 Do good or do bad. Do something, so we can see. 24 You are nothing, fake gods. People who pick you do a bad thing. ❌ 25 I woke a leader from the north and east. He came. He steps on kings like mud. He calls My name. ⬆️➡️♂️ 26 No one said it before. No one told it. None of the fake gods said it. ♂️️ 27 I was first to tell Zion, Look! I gave good news to Jerusalem. ☝️️️ 28 I looked. No one was wise. No one could answer Me. ♂️♂️ 29 See! All the fake gods are nothing. Their statues are empty, like wind. ❌
