Isaiah 41:13-15

Contemporary English Version

¹³ I am the Lord your God.
I am holding your hand,
    so don't be afraid.
I am here to help you.

¹⁴ People of Israel, don't worry,
though others may say,
    “Israel is only a worm!”
I am the holy God of Israel,
    who saves and protects you.
¹⁵ I will let you be like a log
    covered with sharp spikes.^[a]
You will grind and crush
every mountain and hill^[b]
    until they turn to dust.
