9. You whom I have taken from the ends of the earth,And called from its farthest regions,And said to you,‘You are My servant,I have chosen you and have not cast you away:
10. Fear not, for I am with you;Be not dismayed, for I am your God.I will strengthen you,Yes, I will help you,I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.’
11. “Behold, all those who were incensed against youShall be ashamed and disgraced;They shall be as nothing,And those who strive with you shall perish.
12. You shall seek them and not find them—Those who contended with you.Those who war against youShall be as nothing,As a nonexistent thing.
13. For I, the Lord your God, will hold your right hand,Saying to you, ‘Fear not, I will help you.’
14. “Fear not, you worm Jacob,You men of Israel!I will help you,” says the LordAnd your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel.
15. “Behold, I will make you into a new threshing sledge with sharp teeth;You shall thresh the mountains and beat them small,And make the hills like chaff.
16. You shall winnow them, the wind shall carry them away,And the whirlwind shall scatter them;You shall rejoice in the Lord,And glory in the Holy One of Israel.
