11 Behold, (A)all those who are angered at you will be shamed and dishonored;
(B)Those who contend with you will be as nothing and will perish.
12 (C)You will seek those who quarrel with you, but will not find them,
Those who war with you will be as nothing and non-existent.
13 For I am Yahweh your God, (D)who [a]strongly takes hold of your right hand,
Who says to you, ‘(E)Do not fear, I will help you.’
14 Do not fear, you (F)worm Jacob, you men of Israel;
I will help you,” declares Yahweh, “[b]and (G)your Redeemer is the Holy One of Israel.
15 Behold, I have made you a new, sharp threshing sledge with double edges;
(H)You will thresh the (I)mountains and pulverize them,
And will make the hills like chaff.
16 You will (J)winnow them, and the wind will carry them away,
And the storm will scatter them;
But you will (K)rejoice in Yahweh;
You will boast in the Holy One of Israel.

  2. Isaiah 41:14 Or even your Redeemer, the Holy One

11 Just watch, they will be ashamed and humiliated—
all those who are angry with you.
They will become nothing and perish—
those men who oppose you.
12 You will look for them, but you will not find them—
those men who contend against you.
They will become absolutely nothing, less than nothing—
those men who battle against you.
13 For I am the Lord your God.
I am the one who is holding on to your right hand.
I am the one who says to you, “Do not fear. I myself am helping you.”
14 Do not fear, you worm, Jacob, you few men of Israel.[a]
I myself am helping you, declares the Lord,
your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel.
15 Look, I am making you into a sharp, new threshing sledge
    with double-edged blades.
You will thresh mountains and crush them.
You will turn hills into chaff.
16 You will winnow them,
and a wind will lift them up.
A strong wind will scatter them.
But you, you will rejoice in the Lord.
In the Holy One of Israel you will be confident.
