Isaiah
Isaiah 41:13–15
13For I am the LORD your God,
who takes hold of your right hand
and tells you: Do not fear,
I will help you.
14Do not fear, O Jacob, you worm,
O few men of Israel.
I will help you,” declares the LORD.
“Your Redeemer is the Holy One of Israel.
15Behold, 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.
