Isaiah 41:11

11 All who rage against you will be shamed and disgraced. Those who contend with you will be as nothing and will perish.

Isaiah 41:11 Meaning and Commentary

Isaiah 41:11

Behold, all they that were incensed against thee
For rejecting their idols, and idol worship; for receiving the Gospel, and professing it: shall be ashamed and confounded;
their idols not being able to help them, nor they to defend the worship of them: the same is said with respect to Christ, ( Isaiah 45:24 ) : they shall be as nothing, and they that strive with thee shall perish;
or, "the men of thy strife" F15; all shall come to nothing, and utterly perish, as to their persons, substance, power, and dignity; as did the Roman emperors, the persecutors of God's people.

Isaiah 41:11 In-Context

9 you whom I took from the ends of the earth and called from its farthest corners, saying to you, "You are my servant; I chose you and didn't reject you":
10 Don't fear, because I am with you; don't be afraid, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, I will surely help you; I will hold you with my righteous strong hand.
11 All who rage against you will be shamed and disgraced. Those who contend with you will be as nothing and will perish.
12 You will look for your opponents, and won't find them. Those who fight you will be of no account and will die.
13 I am the LORD your God, who grasps your strong hand, who says to you, Don't fear; I will help you.
