You whom I have taken hold of from the ends of the earth,
and called from its corners, and said to you,
"You are my servant, I have chosen you and not cast you away;"
Don't you be afraid, for I am with you.
Don't be dismayed, for I am your God.
I will strengthen you. Yes, I will help you.
Yes, I will uphold you with the right hand of my righteousness.
Isaiah 41:9-10
