Isaiah 41:13

Fear God's presence Strength and help in weakness Protection and safety

¹¹ Behold, all who rage against you will be ashamed and disgraced; those who contend with you will be reduced to nothing and will perish.

¹² You will seek them but will not find them. Those who wage war against you will come to nothing.

For I am the LORD your God, who takes hold of your right hand and tells you: Do not fear, I will help you.

¹⁴ Do not fear, O worm of Jacob, O few men of Israel. I will help you,” declares the LORD. “Your Redeemer is the Holy One of Israel.

¹⁵ Behold, I will make you into a threshing sledge, new and sharp, with many teeth. You will thresh the mountains and crush them, and reduce the hills to chaff.
