12 You will look for those who contend with you,
but you will not find them.
Those who war against you
will become absolutely nothing.
13 For I am the Lord your God,(A)
who holds your right hand,
who says to you, “Do not fear,
I will help you.
14 Do not fear, you worm Jacob,(B)
you men[a] of Israel.
I will help you”—
this is the Lord’s declaration.
Your Redeemer(C) is the Holy One of Israel.(D)
