Jeremiah 46:25-27

The Voice

²⁵Then the Eternal, Commander of heavenly armies and God of Israel, gave this word to Egypt and anyone foolish enough to side with Egypt.

Eternal One: Look! I will soon punish Amon, the god of Thebes, and all the other so-called gods of Egypt. I will punish all her rulers, including Pharaoh (who claims to be a god himself) and any who trust in him. ²⁶I will hand them over to the enemy who wants them dead—to Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, and his officers. But later, I will restore Egypt. Her people will return in numbers to live there again as in the days of old. I, the Eternal, promise this.

²⁷    Do not be afraid, O Jacob, My servant.
        Do not be dismayed, O Israel.
    For I will rescue you from that distant land;
        I will bring your children home from the exile.
    Jacob will again know peace and what it means to feel secure.
        No one will make him afraid.
