Context of Isaiah 41:13
11“Everyone who is angry with you will be ashamed and disgraced. Those who oppose you will be reduced to nothing and disappear. 12You will search for your enemies, but you will not find them. Those who are at war with you will be reduced to nothing and no longer exist. I, the Lord your God, hold your right hand and say to you, ‘Don’t be afraid; I will help you.’ 14Don’t be afraid, Jacob, you worm. You people of Israel, I will help you,” declares the Lord, your Defender, the Holy One of Israel. 15“I am going to make you into a new threshing sledge with sharp, double-edged teeth. You will thresh the mountains and crush them to dust. You will turn the hills into straw.
