Jeremiah 46:26-28

New International Reader's Version

²⁶I will hand them over to those who want to kill them. I will give them to Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, and his officers. But later, many people will live in Egypt again as in times past,” announces the Lord.

²⁷“People of Jacob, do not be afraid.
    You are my servant.
    Israel, do not be terrified.
I will bring you safely out of a place far away.
    I will bring your children back
    from the land where they were taken.
Your people will have peace and security again.
    And no one will make them afraid.
²⁸People of Jacob, do not be afraid.
    You are my servant.
    I am with you,”
    announces the Lord.
“I will completely destroy all the nations
    among which I scatter you.
    But I will not completely destroy you.
I will correct you. But I will be fair.
    I will not let you go without any punishment.”
