5The yles saw it and feared, the ends of the earth were afraid, drew neere, and came. 6They helped euery one his neighbour, and euery one sayd to his brother, Be of good courage. 7So the carpenter encouraged the goldsmith, and he that smootheth with the hammer him that smote the anuill, saying; It is ready for the sodering: and he fastened it with nayles that it should not be moued. 8But thou Israel, art my seruant, Iacob whom I haue chosen, the seede of Abraham my friend. 9Thou whom I haue taken from the ends of the earth, and called thee from the chiefe men thereof, and sayd vnto thee; Thou art my seruant, I haue chosen thee, and not cast thee away.
