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)
15 See, I will make you into a sharp threshing board,
new, with many teeth.
You will thresh mountains and pulverize them
and make hills into chaff.(E)
