26 I will hand those people over to ·their enemies, who want to kill them [L those who seek their life]. I will give them to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon and his ·officers [L servants]. But in the future, Egypt will live as it once did of old [C in peace],” says the Lord.

A Message to Israel

27 “People of Jacob, my servants, don’t be afraid;
    don’t be frightened, Israel.
I will surely ·save [rescue] you from those faraway places
    and your ·children [L seed] from the lands where they are captives.
The people of Jacob will have peace and safety again,
    and no one will make them afraid.
28 People of Jacob, my servants, do not be afraid,
    because I am with you,” says the Lord.
“I will ·completely destroy the many different [L make an end of all the] nations
    where I ·scattered [drove] you.
    But I will not ·completely destroy [L make an end of] you.
I will ·punish [chastise; discipline] you ·fairly [with justice],
    but I will not let you escape your punishment.”
