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.

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.
