The Exhortation & Pt.2 Curses and Origins (3/19/21)

Tonight’s Exhortation

⁸ “But you, Israel, are My servant,

Jacob whom I have chosen,

The descendants of Abraham My friend.

⁹ You whom I have taken from the ends of the earth,

And called from its farthest regions,

And said to you,

‘You are My servant,

I have chosen you and have not cast you away:

¹⁰ Fear not, for I am with you;

Be not dismayed, for I am your God.

I will strengthen you,

Yes, I will help you,

I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.’

“Behold, all those who were incensed against you

Shall be ashamed and disgraced;

They shall be as nothing,

And those who strive with you shall perish.

¹² You shall seek them and not find them—

^[e]Those who contended with you.

Those who war against you

Shall be as nothing,

As a nonexistent thing.

¹³ For I, the Lord your God, will hold your right hand,

Saying to you, ‘Fear not, I will help you.’

Isaiah 41: 8-13
