8
But you, Israel, my servant, Jacob, whom I have chosen, the offspring of Abraham, my friend;
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 have chosen you and not cast you off";
10
do not fear, for I am with you, do not be afraid, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my victorious right hand.
11
Yes, all who are incensed against you shall be ashamed and disgraced; those who strive against you shall be as nothing and shall perish.
12
You shall seek those who contend with you, but you shall not find them; 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, "Do not fear, I will help you."
