11 Certainly all those who were incensed against you
    shall be ashamed and humiliated;
they shall be as nothing,
    and those who strive with you shall perish.
12 You shall seek them
    and shall not find them, even those who contended with you.
Those who war against you
    shall be as nothing, as a thing of nonexistence.
13 For I, the Lord your God,
    will hold your right hand,
saying to you, “Do not fear;
    I will help you.”
14 Do not fear, you worm Jacob,
    and you men of Israel.
I will help you, says the Lord
    and your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel.
15 See, I will make you a new sharp threshing instrument
    with double edges;
you shall thresh the mountains, and beat them small,
    and shall make the hills as chaff.
16 You shall fan them, and the wind shall carry them away,
    and the whirlwind shall scatter them;
and you shall rejoice in the Lord,
    and shall glory in the Holy One of Israel.

11 Look! All those who are angry with you shall be ashamed and humiliated;
    your opponents[a] shall be like nothing and shall become lost.
12 You shall seek them,
    but[b] you shall not find them;
your opponents[c] shall be like nothing,
    and the men of your war like nothing.
13 For I, Yahweh your God, am grasping your right hand;
    it is I who say[d] to you,
“You must not fear;
    I myself, I will help you.
14 You must not fear, O worm of Jacob;
    people of Israel,
I myself, I will help you,” declares[e] Yahweh,
    “and your redeemer is the holy one of Israel.
15 Look! I will make you into a new sharp threshing sledge,
    with[f] sharp edges.
You shall thresh and crush the mountains,
    and you shall make the hills like chaff.
16 You shall winnow them and the wind shall carry them,
    and the tempest shall scatter them.
And you yourself shall rejoice in Yahweh;
    you shall boast in the holy one of Israel.
