Bible verse for August 29

⁷ The craftsman cheers on the goldsmith, and the one who beats metal smooth with a hammer cheers on the one who pounds the anvil. He says of the joint, “It is sound,” and he fixes it firmly with nails so that it will not totter. ⁸ But you, Israel my servant, you, Jacob, the one I chose, you offspring of my friend Abraham, ⁹ you whom I grasped from the far edges of the earth and summoned from its remotest parts, to whom I said, “You are my servant; I chose you and did not throw you away”— ¹⁰ do not be afraid, for I am with you; do not look around in alarm, for I am your God. I will make you strong; yes, I will help you; yes, I will hold you up with the right hand of my righteousness. ¹¹ See, everyone who burns with anger at you will be shamed and humiliated; the people who contend with you will become like nothing and die out. ¹² You will search for those who fight you and not find them; those who make war on you will amount to nothing, to nothing whatsoever. ¹³ For I am Yahweh your God, who grips your right hand and tells you, “Do not be afraid; I myself will help you.”
