Context of Isaiah 41:13
11“See, all your angry enemies lie there, confused and humiliated. Anyone who opposes you will die and come to nothing. 12You will look in vain for those who tried to conquer you. Those who attack you will come to nothing. For I hold you by your right hand— I, the Lord your God. And I say to you, ‘Don’t be afraid. I am here to help you. 14Though you are a lowly worm, O Jacob, don’t be afraid, people of Israel, for I will help you. I am the Lord, your Redeemer. I am the Holy One of Israel.’ 15You will be a new threshing instrument with many sharp teeth. You will tear your enemies apart, making chaff of mountains.
