“But you, Israel, (A)My servant,
Jacob whom I have chosen,
Descendant of (B)Abraham My (C)friend,
You whom I have [a](D)taken from the ends of the earth
And called from its (E)remotest parts,
And said to you, ‘You are (F)My servant,
I have (G)chosen you and have not rejected you.
10 Do not (H)fear, for I am with you;
Do not be afraid, for I am your God.
I will strengthen you, (I)I will also help you,
I will also uphold you with My righteous (J)right hand.’
11 Behold, (K)all those who are angered at you will be shamed and dishonored;
(L)Those who contend with you will be as nothing and will perish.
12 (M)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 the Lord your God (N)who takes hold of your right hand,
Who says to you, ‘(O)Do not fear, I will help you.’
