11 (A)Behold, all who are incensed against you
    shall be put to shame and confounded;
those who strive against you
    shall be as nothing and shall perish.
12 (B)You shall seek those who contend with you,
    but you shall not find them;
(C)those who war against you
    shall be as nothing at all.
13 For I, the Lord your God,
    hold your right hand;
it is I who say to you, “Fear not,
    I am the one who helps you.”

14 Fear not, you (D)worm Jacob,
    you men of Israel!
I am the one who helps you, declares the Lord;
    your (E)Redeemer is the Holy One of Israel.
15 (F)Behold, I make of you a threshing sledge,
    new, sharp, and having teeth;
you shall thresh (G)the mountains and crush them,
    and you shall make the hills like chaff;
16 (H)you shall winnow them, and (I)the wind shall carry them away,
    and the tempest shall scatter them.
(J)And you shall rejoice in the Lord;
    in the Holy One of Israel you shall glory.

11 Be sure that all who are enraged against you
will be ashamed and disgraced;(A)
those who contend with you
will become as nothing and will perish.
12 You will look for those who contend with you,
but you will not find them.
Those who war against you
will become absolutely nothing.
13 For I, Yahweh your God,(B)
hold your right hand
and say to you: Do not fear,
I will help you.
14 Do not fear, you worm Jacob,(C)
you men[a] of Israel:
I will help you—
this is the Lord’s declaration.
Your Redeemer(D) is the Holy One of Israel.(E)
15 See, I will make you into a sharp threshing board,
new, with many teeth.
You will thresh mountains and pulverize them
and make hills into chaff.(F)
16 You will winnow them(G)
and a wind will carry them away,
a gale will scatter them.
But you will rejoice in the Lord;
you will boast in the Holy One of Israel.
