11 Be sure that all who are enraged against youwill be ashamed and disgraced; those who contend with youwill become as nothing and will perish.
12 You will look for those who contend with you,but you will not find them.Those who war against youwill become absolutely nothing.
13 For I, Yahweh your God, hold your right handand say to you: Do not fear,I will help you.
14 Do not fear, you worm Jacob, you men of Israel:I will help you —this is the Lord’s declaration.Your Redeemer is the Holy One of Israel.
15 See, I will make you into a sharp threshing board,new, with many teeth.You will thresh mountains and pulverize themand make hills into chaff.
16 You will winnow them and a wind will carry them away,a gale will scatter them.But you will rejoice in the Lord;you will boast in the Holy One of Israel.
17 The poor and the needy seek water, but there is none;their tongues are parched with thirst.I, Yahweh, will answer them; I, the God of Israel, will not forsake them.
