^{13 Ref} For I, the Lord your God, have taken your right hand in mine, saying to you, Have no fear; I will be your helper.

^{14 Ref} Have no fear, you worm Jacob, and you men of Israel; I will be your helper, says the Lord, even he who takes up your cause, the Holy One of Israel.

^{15 Ref} See, I will make you like a new grain-crushing instrument with teeth, crushing the mountains small, and making the hills like dry stems.

^{16 Ref} You will send the wind over them, and it will take them away; they will go in all directions before the storm-wind: you will have joy in the Lord, and be glad in the Holy One of Israel.

^{17 Ref} The poor and crushed are looking for water where no water is, and their tongue is dry for need of it: I the Lord will give ear to their prayer, I the God of Israel will not give them up.
