But you, Israel, (A)my servant,
    Jacob, (B)whom I have chosen,
    the offspring of Abraham, (C)my friend;
you whom I took from the ends of the earth,
    and called (D)from its farthest corners,
saying to you, “You are (E)my servant,
    (F)I 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 (G)my righteous right hand.

11 (H)Behold, 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 (I)You shall seek those who contend with you,
    but you shall not find them;
(J)those 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 (K)worm Jacob,
    you men of Israel!
I am the one who helps you, declares the Lord;
    your (L)Redeemer is the Holy One of Israel.
15 (M)Behold, I make of you a threshing sledge,
    new, sharp, and having teeth;
you shall thresh (N)the mountains and crush them,
    and you shall make the hills like chaff;
16 (O)you shall winnow them, and (P)the wind shall carry them away,
    and the tempest shall scatter them.
(Q)And you shall rejoice in the Lord;
    in the Holy One of Israel you shall glory.

“But you, Israel, my servant,(A)
    Jacob, whom I have chosen,(B)
    you descendants of Abraham(C) my friend,(D)
I took you from the ends of the earth,(E)
    from its farthest corners I called(F) you.
I said, ‘You are my servant’;(G)
    I have chosen(H) you and have not rejected you.
10 So do not fear,(I) for I am with you;(J)
    do not be dismayed, for I am your God.
I will strengthen(K) you and help(L) you;
    I will uphold you(M) with my righteous right hand.(N)

11 “All who rage(O) against you
    will surely be ashamed and disgraced;(P)
those who oppose(Q) you
    will be as nothing and perish.(R)
12 Though you search for your enemies,
    you will not find them.(S)
Those who wage war against you
    will be as nothing(T) at all.
13 For I am the Lord your God
    who takes hold of your right hand(U)
and says to you, Do not fear;
    I will help(V) you.
14 Do not be afraid,(W) you worm(X) Jacob,
    little Israel, do not fear,
for I myself will help(Y) you,” declares the Lord,
    your Redeemer,(Z) the Holy One(AA) of Israel.
15 “See, I will make you into a threshing sledge,(AB)
    new and sharp, with many teeth.
You will thresh the mountains(AC) and crush them,
    and reduce the hills to chaff.(AD)
16 You will winnow(AE) them, the wind will pick them up,
    and a gale(AF) will blow them away.(AG)
But you will rejoice(AH) in the Lord
    and glory(AI) in the Holy One(AJ) of Israel.
