Jeremiah 46:27-28

Easy-to-Read Version

²⁷ “Jacob, my servant, do not be afraid.
    Do not be frightened, Israel.
I will save you from those faraway places.
    I will save your children from the countries where they are captives.
Jacob will have peace and safety again,
    and no one will make him afraid.”
²⁸ This is what the Lord says.
“Jacob, my servant, do not be afraid.
    I am with you.
I sent you away to many different places.
    But I will not destroy you completely.
    But I will destroy all those nations.
You must be punished for the bad things you did.
    So I will not let you escape your punishment.
    I will discipline you, but I will be fair.”
