11. “See, all your angry enemies lie there,confused and humiliated.Anyone who opposes you will dieand come to nothing.
12. You will look in vainfor those who tried to conquer you.Those who attack youwill come to nothing.
13. 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.
14. Though 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.’
15. You will be a new threshing instrumentwith many sharp teeth.You will tear your enemies apart,making chaff of mountains.
