9 you whom I took from the ends of the earthand called from its farthest corners,saying to you, "You are my servant;I chose you and didn’t reject you":
10 Don’t fear, because I am with you;don’t be afraid, for I am your God.I will strengthen you,I will surely help you;I will hold youwith my righteous strong hand.
11 All who rage against you will be shamed and disgraced.Those who contend with youwill be as nothing and will perish.
12 You will look for your opponents,and won’t find them.Those who fight you will be of no account and will die.
13 I am the Lord your God,who grasps your strong hand,who says to you,Don’t fear; I will help you.
14 Don’t fear, worm of Jacob,people of Israel!I will help you, says the Lord.The holy one of Israel is your redeemer.
15 Look, I’ve made youinto a new threshing tool with sharp teeth.You will thresh mountains and pulverize them;you will reduce hills to straw.
