  • Isaiah 42:10 (thematic): Calls the coastlands/isles to sing and praise God; both verses summon distant lands/peoples to respond in worship or testimony to Yahweh.
  • Isaiah 45:12 (thematic): Speaks of God as creator who fashioned the earth and its inhabitants ('I made the earth... my hands'), echoing Isa 41:1's language about those 'created' and 'formed by my hands'.
  • Psalm 98:1-3 (thematic): Celebrates God's saving acts so that 'all the ends of the earth' and the 'isles' see and sing — parallels Isa 41:1's appeal to distant peoples/isles to acknowledge and proclaim God.
  • Isaiah 60:9 (thematic): Envisions the isles/coastlands waiting for and bringing tribute to Zion; like Isa 41:1 it portrays distant maritime regions as recipients/respondents to God's revelation and action.

Parallels

  • Psalm 18:42-43 (Heb. 18:43-44) (verbal): Uses the same battle-imagery of foes reduced to dust or driven away like chaff before the victor’s weapon, paralleling the 'dust' and 'chaff' similes in Isa 41:2.
  • Isaiah 49:7 (allusion): Speaks of kings seeing, rising, and submitting to the Lord’s servant—a related motif of nations and rulers honoring God’s appointed agent.
  • Isaiah 41:25 (structural): Internal parallel in the same chapter: God declares he has stirred up (raised) a warrior from a direction and set nations before him, repeating the motif of divine action raising a conqueror over nations.

Alternative generated candidates

Parallels

  • Isaiah 44:28 (allusion): Another passage that identifies God’s sovereign act in raising Cyrus to accomplish geopolitical ends (release and rebuilding), linking the theme of God raising a foreign ruler to fulfill divine plans.
  • Psalm 2:8–9 (verbal): Speaks of receiving the nations and breaking kings with a rod of iron — parallel royal/violence imagery (rule over nations, trampling/dashing rulers) found in Isaiah 41:3.

  • Revelation 1:17–18 (allusion): The risen Christ echoes the titles and functions of the eternal Lord (fear not; I am the first and the last; I hold keys of death and Hades), linking Isaiah’s divine self-claim to Christ.
  • Revelation 22:13 (allusion): Christ declares, “I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End,” echoing Isaiah’s language of divine primacy and eschatological authority.

Be silent before me, you coastlands, and let the peoples gather strength; let them draw near—then let them speak together; let them come forward for judgment.

Who has roused up one from the east and called him in righteousness to his feet? He gives nations before him and makes kings bow; he makes them like dust with his sword, like chaff driven by his bow.

He will pursue them and pass on in peace; along the way his feet shall not stumble.

Who has wrought and done it, calling the generations from the beginning? I, the LORD—first—and also with the last—I am he.

The coastlands saw and were afraid; the ends of the earth trembled; they drew near and came.

Each one helps his neighbor, and to his brother he says, “Be strong!”

The smith supports the smelter, the one who smooths with the file strengthens him; the one who strikes with the hammer says of the work, “It is good,” and fastens it with nails so it will not be moved. But you—Israel—my servant, Jacob whom I have chosen, offspring of Abraham my friend.

I took you from the ends of the earth and called you from its farthest parts; I said to you, “You are my servant; I have chosen you and have not cast you off.”

Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.

Behold, all who were enraged at you shall be put to shame and disgraced; those who contend with you shall be as nothing and perish.

You shall seek them and not find them; those who war against you shall be as nothing and as nothingness; those who contend with you shall be accounted no more.

For I—the LORD your God—hold your right hand and say to you, “Do not fear; I will help you.”

Fear not, you worm Jacob, you men of Israel; I will help you, says the LORD, your Redeemer— the Holy One of Israel.

Behold, I make you into a new, sharp threshing implement with teeth; you shall thresh the mountains and crush them, and make the hills like chaff.

You shall winnow them and the wind will carry them away; a gale will scatter them. But you shall rejoice in the LORD and glory in the Holy One of Israel.

The poor and needy search for water and have none; their tongue is parched. I, the LORD, will answer them; the God of Israel will not forsake them.

I will open rivers on the bare heights and fountains in the midst of the valleys; I will make the wilderness a pool of water, and the dry land springs of water.

I will plant in the wilderness the cedar, the acacia, the myrtle, and the olive; I will set in the wasteland the cypress, the plane tree, and the juniper together. So that they may see and know, consider and understand together, that the hand of the LORD has done this, and the Holy One of Israel has created it.

Present your case, says the LORD; bring forward your proofs, says the King of Jacob.
