Isaiah 41:8-16

8 But you, Israel, ^amy servant,
Jacob, ^bwhom I have chosen,
the offspring of Abraham, ^cmy friend;
9 you whom I took from the ends of the earth,
and called ^dfrom its farthest corners,
saying to you, “You are ^emy servant,
^fI have chosen you and not cast you off”;
10 fear not, for I am with you;
be not dismayed, for I am your God;
I will strengthen you, I will help you,
I will uphold you with ^gmy righteous right hand.
11 ^hBehold, all who are incensed against you
shall be put to shame and confounded;
those who strive against you
shall be as nothing and shall perish.
12 ⁱYou shall seek those who contend with you,
but you shall not find them;
^jthose who war against you
shall be as nothing at all.
13 For I, the Lord your God,
hold your right hand;
it is I who say to you, “Fear not,
I am the one who helps you.”
14 Fear not, you ^kworm Jacob,
you men of Israel!
I am the one who helps you, declares the Lord;
your ^lRedeemer is the Holy One of Israel.
15 ^mBehold, I make of you a threshing sledge,
new, sharp, and having teeth;
you shall thresh ⁿthe mountains and crush them,
and you shall make the hills like chaff;
16 ^oyou shall winnow them, and ^pthe wind shall carry them away,
and the tempest shall scatter them.
^qAnd you shall rejoice in the Lord;
in the Holy One of Israel you shall glory.
