Jeremiah 46:26-28

International Children’s Bible

²⁶I will let all those people be defeated by their enemies. And those enemies want to kill them. I will give them to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon and his officers. But in the future, Egypt will live in peace as it once did,” 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 you from those faraway places.
    I will save your children from the lands where they are captives.
The people of Jacob will have peace and safety again.
    And no one will make them afraid.
²⁸People of Jacob, my servants, do not be afraid.
    I am with you,” says the Lord.
“I scattered you to many different nations.
    And I will completely destroy all those nations.
    But I will not completely destroy you.
I will punish you fairly.
    But I cannot let you escape your punishment.”
