Context of Isaiah 41:10
8‘But you, Israel, are my servant. Yes, I have chosen you, descendants of Jacob. You are descendants of my friend, Abraham. 9I led you back from the ends of the earth. I called you to come from places far away. I have said to you, “You are my servant. I have chosen you. I have not thrown you away. I am with you, so do not be afraid. I am your God, so do not be upset. I will make you strong and I will help you. My powerful right hand will keep you safe.” 11Listen to this! Everyone who has been angry with you will now become completely ashamed. Those who have attacked you will disappear and die. 12Even if you look for your enemies, you will not find them. They will all disappear!
