11 Behold, all those who are incensed against you will be disappointed and confounded.
    Those who strive with you will be like nothing, and shall perish.
12 You will seek them, and won’t find them,
    even those who contend with you.
    Those who war against you will be as nothing,
    as a non-existent thing.
13 For I, Yahweh your God, will hold your right hand,
    saying to you, ‘Don’t be afraid.
    I will help you.’
14 Don’t be afraid, you worm Jacob,
    and you men of Israel.
    I will help you,” says Yahweh.
    “Your Redeemer is the Holy One of Israel.
15 Behold, I have made you into a new sharp threshing instrument with teeth.
    You will thresh the mountains,
    and beat them small,
    and will make the hills like chaff.
16 You will winnow them,
    and the wind will carry them away,
    and the whirlwind will scatter them.
You will rejoice in Yahweh.
    You will glory in the Holy One of Israel.

    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.

    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.
