BIBLE VERSE

“inspired” only appears in the New King James Version once in Isaiah 41:7 and it is inserted. In the King James Version, the word does not appear. HOWEVER, I believe it is implied by the word “encouraged” and the “Be of good courage!” in verse 6.

Isaiah 41:6-8 NKJV

⁶ Everyone helped his neighbor, And said to his brother, “Be of good courage!” ⁷ So the craftsman encouraged the goldsmith; He who smooths with the hammer inspired  him who strikes the anvil, Saying, “It is ready for the soldering”; Then he fastened it with pegs, That it might not totter. ⁸ “But you, Israel, are My servant, Jacob whom I have chosen, The descendants of Abraham My friend.

Isaiah 41:6-8 (King James Version) All of Isaiah 41

⁶They helped every one his neighbour; and every one said to his brother, Be of good courage.  ⁷So the carpenter encouraged the goldsmith, and he that smootheth with the hammer him that smote the anvil, saying, It is ready for the sodering: and he fastened it with nails, that it should not be moved.  ⁸But thou, Israel, art my servant, Jacob whom I have chosen, the seed of Abraham my friend.
