Fear not, for I am with you, be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you. Surely I will help you. I will uphold you with My righteous right hand. 11Behold, all who were angry at you will be ashamed and disgraced. Those who quarrel with you will be as nothing and perish. 12Though you will look for those who contended with you, you will not find them. Those who warred against you will be as nothing at all.
