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 have not rejected you.10Do not 9fear, for I am with you; Do not be afraid, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, 10I will also help you, I will also 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 takes hold of your right hand, Who says to you, ‘16Do not fear, I will help you.’14Do not fear, you 17worm Jacob, you people of Israel; I will help you,” declares the Lord, “and 18your 19Redeemer is the Holy One of Israel.15Behold, I turned you into a new, sharp threshing sledge with double edges; 20You will thresh the 21mountains and pulverize them, And 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 boast in the Holy One of Israel.
