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.

11 Behold, all they that are incensed against thee shall be put to shame and confounded: they that strive with thee shall be as nothing, and shall perish. 12 Thou shalt seek them, and shalt not find them, even them that contend with thee: they that war against thee shall be as nothing, and as a thing of nought. 13 For I, Jehovah thy God, will hold thy right hand, saying unto thee, Fear not; I will help thee. 14 Fear not, thou worm Jacob, and ye men of Israel; I will help thee, saith Jehovah, and [a]thy Redeemer is the Holy One of Israel. 15 Behold, I have made thee to be a new sharp threshing instrument having teeth; thou shalt thresh the mountains, and beat them small, and shalt make the hills as chaff. 16 Thou shalt winnow them, and the wind shall carry them away, and the whirlwind shall scatter them; and thou shalt rejoice in Jehovah, thou shalt glory in the Holy One of Israel.
