Isaiah 41:8-13
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
8 But you, Israel, my servant,
Jacob, whom I have chosen,
the offspring of Abraham, my friend;(A)
9 you whom I took from the ends of the earth
and called from its farthest corners,
saying to you, “You are my servant;
I have chosen you and not cast you off”;(B)
10 do not fear, for I am with you;
do not be afraid, for I am your God;
I will strengthen you; I will help you;
I will uphold you with my victorious right hand.(C)
11 All who are incensed against you
shall be ashamed and disgraced;
those who strive against you
shall be as nothing and shall perish.(D)
12 You shall seek those who contend with you,
but you shall not find them;
those who war against you
shall be as nothing at all.(E)
13 For I, the Lord your God,
hold your right hand;
it is I who say to you, “Do not fear,
I will help you.”(F)
