Jeremiah 46:26-28

New Century Version

²⁶I will hand those people over to their enemies, who 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
    and 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,
    because I am with you,” says the Lord.
“I will completely destroy the many different nations
    where I scattered you.
    But I will not completely destroy you.
I will punish you fairly,
    but I will not let you escape your punishment.”
