14 Do not be afraid, you Israelites, descendants of Jacob.
You may seem unimportant, like a worm,
    but I myself will help you.’
That is what the Lord says.
    He is your Redeemer, the Holy God of Israel.
15 ‘Look at this! I will cause you to destroy your enemies,
    like a heavy weight that threshes grain.[a]
You will have new sharp metal points that are like teeth.
You will thresh the mountains
    and you will break them into pieces.
You will make the hills become like straw.
16 You will throw them into the air,
    and the wind will blow them away in all directions!
You will be happy with what the Lord has done for you.
    You will boast that the Holy God of Israel is your God.
