Isaiah 41:8-16

8“But you, Israel, 1My servant, Jacob whom I have chosen, Descendant of 2Abraham My 3friend,9You whom I have 45taken from the ends of the earth, And called from its 6remotest parts And said to you, ‘You are 7My servant, I have 8chosen you and not rejected you.10Do not 9fear, for I am with you; Do not anxiously look about you, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, surely 10I will help you, Surely I will uphold you with My righteous 11right hand.’11Behold, 12all those who are angered at you will be shamed and dishonored; 13Those who contend with you will be as nothing and will perish.1214You will seek those who quarrel with you, but will not find them, Those who war with you will be as nothing and non-existent.13For I am the Lord your God, 15who upholds your right hand, Who says to you, ‘16Do not fear, I will help you.’14Do not fear, you 17worm Jacob, you men of Israel; I will help you,” declares the Lord, “18and 19your Redeemer is the Holy One of Israel.15Behold, I have made you a new, sharp threshing sledge with double edges; 20You will thresh the 21mountains and pulverize them, And will make the hills like chaff.16You will 22winnow them, and the wind will carry them away, And the storm will scatter them; But you will 23rejoice in the Lord, You will glory in the Holy One of Israel.
