Study note
Setting — God speaks to Israel in Isaiah 41, immediately following His promise to strengthen, help, and uphold them with His righteous right hand.
The words — הֵן (hen) translates literally as "behold" or "there," while כְּאַיִן (khe.'A.yin) means "as nothing."
The thread — This pattern of God opposing adversaries runs through Exodus 23:22, Isaiah 45:24, and Revelation 3:9.
Why it lands — The text declares that all who rage or contend with God's people will be ashamed, disgraced, reduced to nothing, and perish, requiring the reader to abandon fear of human opposition and rely on the stated divine presence.

The Hebrew words

Behold, all they that were incensed against thee shall be ashamed and confounded: they shall be as nothing; and they that strive with thee shall perish.
