12“I, even I, am He who comforts you.
Why should you be afraid of mortal man,
of a son of man who withers like grass?
13But you have forgotten the LORD, your Maker,
who stretched out the heavens
and laid the foundations of the earth.
You live in terror all day long
because of the fury of the oppressor
who is bent on destruction.
But where is the fury of the oppressor?
— Isaiah 51:12-13
