Isaiah 41:11-16

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

¹¹ All who are incensed against you
    shall be ashamed and disgraced;
those who strive against you
    shall be as nothing and shall perish.^(A)
12 You shall seek those who contend with you,
    but you shall not find them;
those who war against you
    shall be as nothing at all.^(B)
13 For I, the Lord your God,
    hold your right hand;
it is I who say to you, “Do not fear,
    I will help you.”^(C)

¹⁴ Do not fear, you worm Jacob,
    you maggot^[a] Israel!
I will help you, says the Lord;
    your Redeemer is the Holy One of Israel.^(D)
15 I will make of you a threshing sledge,
    sharp, new, and having teeth;
you shall thresh the mountains and crush them,
    and you shall make the hills like chaff.^(E)
16 You shall winnow them, and the wind shall carry them away,
    and the tempest shall scatter them.
Then you shall rejoice in the Lord;
    in the Holy One of Israel you shall glory.^(F)
