Context of Isaiah 41:10

8“But you, Israel, My servant, Jacob whom I have chosen, The offspring of Abraham My friend, 9You whom I [the Lord] have taken from the ends of the earth, And called from its remotest parts And said to you, ‘You are My servant, I have chosen you and have not rejected you [even though you are exiled]. Do not fear [anything], for I am with you; Do not be afraid, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, be assured I will help you; I will certainly take hold of you with My righteous right hand [a hand of justice, of power, of victory, of salvation].’ 11Indeed, all those who are angry with you will be put to shame and humiliated; Those who strive against you will be as nothing and will perish. 12You shall search for those who quarrel with you, but will not find them; They who war against you will be as nothing, as nothing at all.
