12 You shall seek but not find
    those who strive against you;
They shall be as nothing at all
    who do battle with you.

13 For I am the Lord, your God,
    who grasp your right hand;
It is I who say to you, Do not fear,

    you maggot Israel;
I will help you—oracle of the Lord;
    the Holy One of Israel is your redeemer.[a]
