Isaiah 41:11-16
Legacy Standard Bible
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.

Isaiah 41:11-16
International Standard Version
The Coming Defeat of God’s Enemies
11 “Look! All who are enraged at you
will be put to shame and disgraced;
those who contend with you
will all die.[a]
12 Those who quarrel with you[b]
will be as nothing;
those who fight you
like nothing at all!”
A Call to Courage
13 “For I am the Lord your God,
who takes hold of your right hand,
who says to you, ‘Don’t be afraid.
I’ll help you.
14 Don’t be afraid, you little worm Jacob,
and[c] you insects of Israel!
I myself will help you,’[d] declares the Lord,
your[e] Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel.”
A Promise of Victory
15 “See, I’m making you[f] into
a new, sharp, and multi-tooth threshing sledge.
You’ll thresh and crush the mountains,
and make the hills like chaff.
16 You’ll winnow them, and the wind will lift them up,
and a tempest will blow them away.
Then you’ll rejoice in the Lord,
and[g] you’ll make your boast in the Holy One of Israel.”
